Re: Enteric coating/NAN E.

Nan~

As usual, your response is brilliant! ;-)

I thought the same thing. However, the Dairy Care is an Enteric

coated CAPSULE with powder in it.

I'm wondering if breaking the two halves apart would be enough.

Maybe the useful powder would just sit inside the capsule

without being absorbed? Do you have any thoughts on that? I

suppose I could break a capsule in half and drop it in a glass of

water and then see if it is absorbed at all, and if so, how long it

takes.

Joe's idea might be the most predictable; to break the capsules

open and sprinkle them on some yogurt or something.

Still looking for ideas here.

By the way, what does acidophillus do? I mean, how exactly is it

different than lactaid?

Thanks all~
