A member asked:
Are gummy vitamins easier on the stomach lining than capsules and softgels if you believe you may have an ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely no difference: It is generally not felt to be the vehicle of a medication (pill, capsule, liquid etc) that is the culprit of the side effect of GI upset. Rather, it is generally attributable to the active ingredient, in this case vitamins.
