A member asked:
Can contraceptive pills (absorption in small intestines) loose efficacy if i have loose stools in the mornings (possible malabsorption/ibs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asked and answered: No. Your pills are absorbed in the stomach. Not in your colon. The colon is many feet beyond the stomach and small intestines.
