I am interested to know about the metabolism of meds with an ileostomy? --- Should meds be regulated differently? I am learning to cope with an ileostomy and am happy to discover this Mayo clinic support group!

I have an ileostomy. You can check with your pharmacist and if possible crush your pills and take them in apple sauce. Also you can use gel caps if possible or liquids.
