My hubby cannot swallow pills. Ive tried to teach him using M&M candies and things like that, and no go. I either have to by him liquid medicine, or he chews the pills. (YUCK!) I want to give him LR, cranberry, and aspirin. The aspirins are chewable, so thats fine... anybody know if the others come in liquid form, or if its okay to ditch the capsules or chew them?

There is chewable licorice but it is the rankest thing you ever tasted in your life. If he's willing to eat that for ya, hang on to him, he's a keeper.
I would just skip the cran and do aspirin for him. They do the same thing.

I actually found chewable cranberry at a vitamin shop :) Couldnt hurt. Do you happen to know what the chewable LR is called, make sure I get the right thing? I told DH what you said about it being the most awful thing taste wise and he said he didnt care, he wasnt swallowing a pill and if it made me happy he would take it. I guess Ill keep him around since hes come around a LOT to the swaying and has even agreed to lay off the red meat for 6 weeks before. :cheerteam:
Either of these?
