I am unable to swallow larger pills/capsules anymore. I now have everything in forms I can swallow except for this.

Can anyone recommend a liquid form or smaller pill(preferred) that has a high enough content while on antibiotics?

Price is a factor, too. Obviously not the top one since I do need to find something!

Thanks for any kind of help! I wish I could research this on my own, but don't feel able right now..

VSL#3

It's a powder you mix with water. Doesn't taste wonderful, but tolerable.

VERY high in CFU's. I get the VSL#3 DS .. I get a prescription for it and my insurance pays for most of it. I pay an $80 copay for a 3 month supply.

Call Harry at Custom Probiotics if you want more information.

I take the CP-1 capsules but I have a friend who takes the powder (she does say it tastes terrible) but the product and the company are excellent!

I can't swallow pills or capsules of any size without chewing. I chew my pills. For capsules, I just open them up and "pour" the contents into my mouth. That's another idea if that works for you.

this is a link to the probiotics that my daughter takes at the advice of her LLND. SHe feels great using this, and it is a powder you mix with water. Very easy because she has the same trouble you do with any capsule. Good luck.

Swallowing problems are most of the time in patients with low immunity.
Cytomegalovirus ,candida,and herpes virus1 are culprits.Treat them and the problem will be fixed.

Take care
