Capsule materials

(1/1)

Human:
I've got an insane number of food sensitivities that unfortunately include all the standard ways of packaging medicine.  When I started reacting to standard gelatin capsules I found the vegetarian ones still were ok.  Unfortunately, now I'm even reacting to two different versions of vegetarian capsules and I'm hoping there might be something else out there.

While this is a longshot I'm hoping someone on here might have hit the problem and come up with a better answer.

rebekahc:
I wonder if you could just avoid the capsules. Either get a different preparation or open the capsule and put the meds into a spoonful of applesauce or something?  Otherwise, maybe use a compounding pharmacy and have your meds made as an elixir/tablet/??

I've been opening the capsules and mixing them with food.  It's just sometimes inconvenient and so I was hoping for a better answer.
