I have had trouble swallowing pills and my husband told me to take a sip of water and hold the H2O it in my mouth. I place the pill in that small pool of water and it doesn't stick to the roof of my mouth nor choke me nearly to death.

I wanted to ask some of you who are eating better, why can I not eat spicy, peppered foods or cokes? It stings and burns so bad. I do not have any open wounds. The docs says give it 6 months and then he will say give it 1-2 years. Will I ever be able to enjoy those types of food again? Mary
