Yup... Moonshine nailed it. You put it under your tongue and it dissolves very quickly. This method allows whatever you're taking to enter your bloodstream almost instantly and bypass your stomach and absorption through your bowels, so it's quicker and is better absorbed. Not expensive either.

You can buy Vit D on Amazon and liquid with a dropper… Works well. I use a pill crusher (Wal-Mart) for some pills, and it works great!
I have an ileostomy.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, messages, and tips! So many have helped! We are learning as we go, learning the ins and outs of this bag. I have ordered special tape that does not irritate my skin and am now using Domeboro powder before putting on a new bag. My boyfriend says that my skin is so much less red!
Saw an ostomy nurse today; she said my boyfriend is doing everything right. One of my issues is that I am really thin, and my skin is really crinkly due to the surgery. We shall see how this bag goes.
This site is a real blessing. Everyone here is so awesome!
