Can I absorb properly this with DS...
I do have a problem with my arteries closing and I'm on blood thinners to help with blood flow. I really would like to know if we would absorb it. I wish I did not have to do this as it is nasty tasting but I will do anything to help me regardless of taste if it will help me get off blood thinners . (I need plavix for 2 splints in my legs )
The coatings on medicine sometimes determine if they are broken down in an acidic environment (the stomach) or an alkaline one, such as the intestines, and where they have the highest absorption. Pharmacists are trained to know these things, and might be better able to help. The prescriber notes for medication (they are usually on the manufacturer websites) also typically discuss this, but they are a bit dense and difficult to read.
Many psych drugs need to be dose increased with malabsorption, but unfortunately I know nothing about blood thinners. I'd definitely ask the pharmacist.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Rate of absorption with meds depends on the med and the person. Some meds absorb through the stomach while others in the intestine. A doc could tell best, but many don't have issue with meds, while those who do just increase their dosage.
