She suggested using sugar-free lemon yogurt because the tart taste is good for disguising BAD, BAD tastes. So I'll give that a try or just continue to hold my nose and gag.
Guess it just comes with the cemetery...er...I mean territory. 
Thanks again Milady...I curtsy to your wisdom!

20 lbs GONE (forever I hope)...now just 100 or so to go! |
hehehe...you are quite welcome, Cathy! I know its nasty. I gagged pills down for 2 weeks and I could have kissed my surgeon when he told me I could start swallowing pills. I had to take Keflex for a slight incisional infection and it smelled and tasted like spoiled eggs. It was disgusting!!
Hang in there!!!
