Make a fist with your left hand, except put your thumb on the inside. And squeeze. Suppresses the gag reflex somewhat. And yes, 100% serious. It works. Don't ask me how.

Sore throat sprays can help numb your throat and reduce your tendency to gag. There are also "adult" products (sorry) for numbing the gag reflex that work even more effectively. When I was pregnant, I gagged every time I brushed my teeth, and both of these options really helped.

Lean your head forward as you scrape.. don't forget to breathe through you nose.. that should help!

I have no problem. Don't breathe and just swallow with a glass of water - you won't smell or taste anything.

look it up on youtube. The suction inside makes it sound like gagging noises.

Thank you all for your responses. So far I've tried chicken and meat. I did try to push to the food to the bottom and remove any air voids but it doesn't seem to be as powerful as I expected.

sorry i am just now seeing your email. i would get a medium to spread the food out more, which would slow down eating just a tad :).

you could use a slotted spoon. I have tough fingers so I just reach in and pinch two of the tabs and lift out.

I too have trouble getting pills swallowed. It is annoying. But, these go down easy. I always have to drink extra just to get them down. But, I have to drink extra to get anything down.

Use mayo. It sounds weird, but it works! We did that and have not had any problems since.

I'm probably not the best person to ask, because I do it the hardcore way. I put a bit of water into my mouth, dump in the measured amount of powder, swish and swallow. If there is grit left, I swish with more water. For me, quick and painful is easier. It's not that bad though.

No directions. Its so thick, just spoonful will help with cough, sore throat. At nite I took a spoonful, squeezed 1/8 of lemon, shot of whiskey, micro'd for 20 seconds and slugged it down. Sweet sleeping after that...no coughing!

Remember to breathe through your mouth as you use the pot. This seems to naturally "block" the throat passageway. It really works for me!

There liquid gels. Just put a needle in and squeeze the liquid in your mouth.

standard jell capsels. so pretty big. I havent had trouble swallowing them with my own throat issues, but I wonder if you could open them and mix with water. or just pour in your mouth and wash down (prob taste like grass or something though)

I found these coprophagia deterents to be on the soft side. These tablets seem to have worked,gcgloria1111@aol.com

It is hard to do. I've had the same problem. I just hold my breath and pull :)

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.
