Has it ever occurred to anyone . . .Tylenol Liquid vs. Tylenol Tablet
Back when we were being given "the rules" by the Nutritionist, prior to surgery about, now if you have any aches or pains after surgery be sure to take liquid Tylenol, don't take Tylenol by the tablet because it won't be good if the tablet just "sits" on your stoma.
So for months and months I have blindly accepted that and then the other day as I was "knocking back" the king-size calcium tablets, a bell finally went off in my brain. I thought, what the heck is the difference between a Tylenol tablet sitting on my stoma waiting to dissolve and two calcium tablets waiting to dissolve?
Why can't I take a Tylenol tablet? It's got to be cheaper than buying a bottle of Tylenol liquid. Does anyone have any feedback on this topic?

So are mine and I crush them! I was told not to take anything bigger than a M&M!
But back to the Tylenol. It causes damage to the stomach lining that the Calcium doesn't. That is why Tylenol is coated to protect the stomach lining and the Calcium are just powder pressed.
Does this make since/help!

In the beginning i only used tylenol liquid. Now one year out I use tylenol tablets. I take them one at a timeand wait 5 min or so before I take the other one just in case. On the days I am really tight, I stick with liquid. Also when my artrititis flares up I take 3 tabs with no problems.
Hey Marty I forgot to add the most important thing. I have found the Tylenol In the round, coated tablets that I am taking whole. They are the size of an M&M so per my nut/nurse they are OK and much cheaper than liquid.

the tylenol are small if you get them in the little round coated kind. I am sure the tylenol liquid works a little faster, but for the price difference , not that much faster. sue
