I have an ileostomy and have the following question: are you able to correctly metabolize antibiotics without a colon?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ostomy & J-Pouch Support Group.

So far I have not had any problem digesting any of my pills. I am having some dental work done and due to knee replacement have to take 4 antibiotic pills at one time prior to dental work. I also take thyroid and a statin and have not had a problem digesting them

Check with your pharmacist and be sure it's ok to crush them. Some are not supposed to be crushed since they will put to much medicine into your system to quick. If you can get gel caps they will dissolve fine. Also you can put crushed pills in apple sauce and you will never know they are there.
