Question 1

what form of medication or supplement gets absorbed fastest? i was thinking maybe chewable tablets or liquid gel capsules.

Accepted Answer

Varies: It depends upon what medication you are talking about. In general, however, fastest absorption is the sublingual route, where the medication is placed under the tongue. Very few medications, however, are designed to be taken this way. Next fastest are usually the gel caps. Chewables actually have about the same absorption as solid pills. If wondering about a specific medication, ask pharmacist!

Question 2

in short, for the last couple years ive been pooping inconsistently,anywhere from 0-7 times a day.either solid,soft,liquid,different shades of brown.when wiping occasionally wipe off a gel like substance that is orangish brown.etc.suggestions?

Accepted Answer

GI symptoms: There are a number of possibilities including yeast infection or other parasites.  It is important for you to see your doctor to rule out other medical conditions.  You also need to be able to absorb nutrition and your situation may be keeping that from happening well.  Peace and good health.

: The following addresses constipation only. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods.
