Why do I need to take some pills with food or water? Are they too strong for the stomach or something? How? All that hydrochloric acid in there doesn't eat through.

It is recommended to take pills with food because certain medications can irritate the stomach lining and cause discomfort or even ulcers. Food can help to protect the stomach and decrease the chances of experiencing these side effects. Additionally, some medications need to be taken with food in order to be properly absorbed by the body.
It is generally safe to take pills with most types of food, but it is important to avoid certain foods that may interact with medications. For example, grapefruit and its juice can interact with a variety of medications and should be avoided. It is always best to check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if there are any specific food restrictions for your medication.
The amount of food you should eat when taking pills depends on the specific medication. Some medications may require a full meal, while others may only need a small snack. It is important to follow the instructions on the medication label or as directed by your doctor. If you are unsure, it is best to err on the side of caution and eat a small meal or snack before taking your medication.
In most cases, it is recommended to take pills with food rather than just water. However, if the medication instructions specifically say to take it with water, then it is safe to do so. Water can help to swallow the pill and ensure it goes down smoothly. If you have difficulty swallowing pills, you can also try taking them with applesauce or yogurt.
It is generally recommended to take pills with water instead of other beverages, as some drinks may interact with medications and affect their absorption or effectiveness. However, some medications may be taken with certain beverages, such as milk or juice, as directed by the medication instructions or your doctor. It is always best to check with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about taking pills with other beverages.
