Hi Kelsey,
I take a lot of vitamins the only liquid one that I take is omega-3. I'm just wondering why you were told that pills will not absorb?
I take: Iron, Biotin, Calicum and Vitamin D, Folic acid. I also eat vitamin enriched cereal as well 
I take iron, vitamin D, vitamin b12, and an aspirin. None are in liquid form…

haha i’m not sure. possibly bc i was having lots of diarrhea at the time and had pouchitis six weeks post takedown. i see him in a couple weeks so i’ll ask then.
I take vitamin ç and a multivitamin in powder form in a protein shake every morning.
I also take d3, fish oil, magnesium, tumeric, B12, zinc, and a probiotic every day. All in capsule form

Be careful with that Asprin Ryan. Asprin can cause pouchitis and irritation. Are you noticing any blood in the stool???

I understand, just take it with a meal and you should be fine
I try to get all my vitamins in gummy form, that way there's no worry about pills dissolving! I take Calcium+D, multi-vitamin and C - all in chewy form. I also take Fish oil and Biotin - both are liquid capsules. I'm also on Dr. prescribed Potassium right now (and that's in capsule form). I personally try to only take meds that will dissolve and/or absorb in the stomach. My system runs pretty fast, so I can't count on much getting absorbed - except for extra calories 🤣.
I take my necessary supplements in ordinary form. B-12 tablets, D3 gel-caps, B-1 tablets, and fish oil gel-caps. These are all recommended by my PMD based on diagnosed deficiencies. These have been fine, as proven by follow up blood test monitoring.
I used to take multivitamins, but studies show they are not useful. A varied diet is best.
