Need to be chewed.: MOM works as an osmotic laxative, it works by causing water to enter the lumen of the intestine to balance it's osmolality. Either the dose of MOM pills is not comparable to the dose of liquid that you have used, or else the tables are remaining intact, so there is less surface area to have an osmotic effect of pulling water into the intestine to loosen you BM's
