Swallow pills. It takes 3-4 tries every time for the smaller ones.

I haven't had trouble swallowing pills, so I don't how helpful this is, but it's something that still made it easier for me: I used to try to swallow the pill by just pushing it with water on an initially empty throat. Once I started swallowing the water first, then letting the pill ride between gulps in the stream's momentum, it became more comfortable and automatic.

I haven't had to take one in a while but I'll probably try this or simply try without water next time.

I wish there was a way to explain this without making it sound gross, but get some saltines, chew em up, and sneak the pill into the mash in your mouth before you swallow

The funny thing is I'm sure you swallow larger pieces of food all the time with no trouble!

Difference is that you can chew the food, it’s much more natural. You can’t, or aren’t supposed to, chew the pill (especially if it’s a capsule). There is a psychological component, for sure.

Probably when not paying attention. But also, sometimes I chew soup if there's rice or other small things in it :p
-
The food wouldn't be in a form factor where they can turn sideways and get lodged in your throat. It's so unpleasant when that happens.

Consuming along with a water-based ice treat such as an Icy Pole, Zooper Dooper etc might help.
