Sakina - I didn't know that the coating on tablets can actually interfere with the breakdown of a pill. That's really interesting! I guess I'll be on the lookout for capsules from now on.

BB - I almost always take supplements/vitamins with food. There might have been one time when I didn't and felt a bit ill afterward. And that is a frightening thing that happened to you when you were small! I don't think I would ever have been able to swallow pills again if that had happened to me at that age.
