I went back to check whether I had by mistake wandered into the school of veterinary medicine. I did see a menu option for "other [i.e., non-human] digestive systems, herbivores/birds", but I didn't go down that route. Regarding the taking pills 30 minutes before meals rule, which I assume to be a safe maximum time for them to reach the intestines: there have been instances when I've taken pills at 4:30 or 5:00 p.m., didn't eat dinner until 7:00 or 8:00 p.m., and the pills never started working until well after dinner -- so I wonder what I did wrong.
