I'm trying out some gummie multi-vitd and vit D3. Was wondering if this is efficient to take for someone with an ileostomy. Do we digest and absorb it all or are gummies hard to digest? I took these on an empty stomach one morning and it appears that partially chewed up gummies showed up in my bag.

Just wondering if I'm waiting my money and maybe best off with chewable or liquid vitamins...

I take gummie vitamins, and just chew them up as much as I possibly can before swallowing. I've just assumed they would break down better than a whole pill would, and maybe move through a little slower than liquid. But...now that you mention it...I'm not so sure chewable wouldn't be better. Hmmmm?? They are very yummy though!

My naturopath recommended liquid vitamins, better absorption. I tried the gummies too but they just came out......gummy......

So I am trying the liquid multivitamin now.

I've been taking them for a few months now. I usually take them with food so hopefully they stick around my stomach longer :).

So far so good. I haven't seen any gummy in my bag...
