I'm under the impression too that I shouldn't swallow capsules. I've had my meds changed to pill form and I split the pills. Whats the largest size you guys are swallowing? My pills are about the size of a tic tac but round and I cut them. I'm new to this its only been two weeks out for me.

BEST THING FOR ANY MEDICINE IS PILL OR LIQUID FORM OR CHEWABLES. IF THE PILL IS TOO BIG, THEN JUST GET A PILL SPLITTER & SPLIT THEM INTO M&M SIZE & SWALLOW EACH PIECE. NOOOOOOO CAPSULES ... THEY DON'T DIGEST PROPERLY IN OUR POUCH/INTESTINES. REMEMBER, WE DON'T USE OUR STOMACH & DIGESTION JUICES IN THE SAME MANNER WE DID BEFORE SO THAT CAPSULE IS NOT DIGESTING IN YOUR STOMACH LIKE IT WOULD NORMALLY DO. MOST OF OUR DIGESTION IS DONE IN OUR INTESTINES NOW. NOOOOOOO TIME RELEASED ... WITH OUR MALABSORPTION ISSUES, WE DON'T ABSORB THEM PROPERLY OVER TIME SO WE DON'T GET THE FULL STRENGTH OF THE MEDICATION. IF A MEDICATION HAS A NOTATION NOT TO SPLIT THE PILL, CHECK WITH YOUR DR/PHARMACIST ... THIS USUALLY MEANS IT'S TIME RELEASED. SORRY IT TASTED SOOOOOOOO BAD ... HOPEFULLY THERE IS A PILL FORM OF YOUR MEDS. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk
