Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Meant to write something last week about this topic, and I forgot. The remainder of the vitamin that you " found " does not necessarily indicate malabsorption. Some medications/ vitamins are delivered in a wax matrix, so what you see is the matrix, not the medication/vitamin itself. I discovered this when I found what I thought was undigested/unabsorped medication in ostomy drainage. Margie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
