Some pills really shouldn't be crushed or broken, though, so check with the doctor or pharmacist on that. BCPs seem like the sort of thing where that could be a concern.
OP: my sister has a really hard time with pill swallowing. What she does is, she'll chew up a marshmallow until she's just about to swallow, then slip the pill into her mouth and swallow it all. She has to be able to not *feel* the pill (food texture issues). I'm not sure why it has to be marshmallows, but hey, it works for her.
