I have a J pouch reconstruction, and deal with pouchitis.
Basically, I don’t have a large intestine, and therefore, like many of you, I have noticed that food goes through me pretty quickly.
Lately I’ve noticed that a time release medication I take (for diabetes, a different discussion), is coming through my system ‘intact.’ So, I am obviously not getting the benefit of these meds. Has this happened to you?

I apologize for giving you the wrong advice regarding absorption, I never knew about absorption being reduced in us when it comes to time release medications. I wish doctors were more educated about things like that and in letting us know. We definitely do not need to be taking time release or extended release medications. I go 13-20x a day so I would extremely be in trouble taking that lol.
