Medication Absorption with Ileostomy?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who recently had an ileostomy due to Crohn's complications and is experiencing rapid output. They are concerned about the impact of this rapid output on the absorption of their oral medications, including HRT and antiperspirant meds. They are seeking advice on whether the rapid output affects medication absorption and if they should consider a different route of administration for their routine meds.

Advice and Insights:
- Avoid time-released and coated medications with an ileostomy.
- Eat small amounts several times a day to help with medication absorption.
- Check with doctors about the impact of rapid output on medication absorption and discuss alternative routes of administration if necessary.
- Consider opening capsules and crushing pills, then mixing them into juice for easier absorption.
- Be cautious with the dosage of Imodium, as taking a high dose can lead to other issues.
- Consult with a doctor to ensure the appropriate medication absorption and discuss concerns about the high dose of Imodium.
