Has there been much discussion about vitamins or medicine tablets and whether or not your stomach will break them down before they get to your stoma? I've found in the past that some tablet medicines never broke down and came out whole when I had the j-pouch. I started taking chewables when they're available. I have a cabinet full of multi-vits, fish oil, Vit D, etc that I had to stop taking because they were burning me when they went through my j-pouch. But now that I have an ileostomy, I wonder if anyone can chime in on chewable (gummies) and how they work with the ileostomy. Also non-chewable tablets if you please.
