UIPageViewController prevent scrolling with viewcontrollers - ios

Question

I have a UIViewController which has a UIPageViewController property. The problem I am running into is when a viewcontroller is dragging (uitableview/uitableviewcell), the pageviewcontroller swipe takes over and changes the page when scrolling in its childrencontroller view.
I tried adding a gesture and checking if the touch is a UITableViewCell to prevent gesture touch but its not working.
I am trying to achieve similar feel that twitter or snapchat app have when you swipe left to right a new viewcontroller view is shown.
