Anything is possible...if you have a narrowing of a zone (a stricture) or a strangulation or a twist anything that serves as a stopper can cause a problem...Try crushing them...
I just saw my rhumy who has decided that I should be crushing my anti inflamatories instead of swallowing them whole...I figure if I can crush them then I can crush vitamins.

ps..I take all sorts of chewables: multivitamins, calcium+d, biotin, probiotics, collagene...
If you are concerned about this, try liquid multivitamins like Natural Vitality organic liquid multi.
If vitamin absorption is a real issue for you then you might want to try Forvia.
I'm not dissolving in the stomach
I have used Forvia chewable vitamins for years.
Forvia vitamins were designed for folks like us who have bowel issues.
These are not sold in stores. Order from their web site.
Has anyone had a vitamin deficiency develop since getting the j pouch. I'm experiencing swollen lips and tongue as well as red rash around my lips and cracks at the end of my lips. After going to several doctors to check if it was due to an allergy (food, toothpaste or?) or stomach gasses, nothing came up answering the reason. The only clue I have is one doctor said to be tested for B2 or B3 deficiency. My doctor has tested for everything else under the sun, but not that - yet.

Thanks for bringing up that question. I didn't think of that. Grace
