My understanding is that time released capsules or tablets don't work for us due to the lack of gastric juices in the pouch. I am not positive about this.

I know with me...I cannot take time release medications due to the malabsorption. Basically what happens to me is that I can take the medicine and say it is supposed to last 24 hours, I get about 4 hours, if I'm lucky because the capsul never has time to fully digest in my system. Most of the medication just went through my system without being 'released'.
