Multivitamins supplements after Gastric Bypass
Nutritional supplements, special formulated, are required for those who
have had Bariatric Surgery. After surgery, your body has difficulty absorbing
certain nutrients because most of your stomach and the first part of your small
intestine are bypassed. To prevent a vitamin or mineral deficiency, take vitamin
and mineral supplements must be taken regularly by Gastric Bypass surgical
patients. Likely the must take supplements for the rest of their lives in order
to maintain their health . These may include a multivitamins, multi minerals,
calcium, vitamin B-12 and possibly an iron supplement. Serious problems can occur if
required vitamins and minerals are not taken daily.
Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies
Vitamin and mineral levels in your blood must be monitored at least twice
yearly. If necessary, your vitamin/mineral supplement doses may be adjusted by
your surgeon or dietitian. This is why it's important for you to continue your
follow-up with your surgeon. Vitamin and mineral tests are used to assess the level of nutrients in an individual’s blood, urine and hair so that healthcare professionals can more accurately diagnose deficiency diseases or overdoses and devise an effective therapy in response.
Physicians regularly order tests, such as comprehensive metabolic panels (CMPs), that measure blood concentrations of minerals like
calcium, sodium and potassium. In instances that doctors do test vitamin levels, the most common tests are for folate,
vitamin B12, vitamin K, vitamin D and vitamin A. For minerals the most common tests are for
iron and zinc. Conventional doctors are not likely to perform more comprehensive tests as some vitamin tests are quite complex and expensive, making insurance coverage more difficult to receive.
It is also not standard medical practice for doctors to check for vitamin-drug interactions, look at vitamin deficiencies as potential causes of health conditions or perform tests that are proactive in nature (e.g. testing antioxidant levels which are known to protect the heart). For these reasons, you’ll often need an alternative medicine provider in order to get a more complete assessment of your vitamin balance and nutritional health.
Multi Vitamins - Optimized for intake by Bariatric
Patients
The gastric bypass surgery patient must first ask "Can I
swallow this with a small amount of water"? The next question, "will it absorb
quickly enough for my bypassed system?"
Chewable tablets are available, but the taste is often unpleasant. However, these can be used during the first few
months following surgery. Those who have difficulty swallowing either a capsule or tablet whole, should choose tablets which
can either be cut in half or crushed for convenience and ease. Consider an investment in a "pill crusher"
Capsules and gels are a good choice because they are more likely to absorb rapidly. Time released tablets should be avoided, they
dissolve too slowly (that's what makes them timed release). They will travel through the shortened intestine before absorbing into the body. Capsules should be designed to dissolve quickly so that the maximum amount of nutritional supplement is
absorbed in to the body.
Multivitamins should be formulated for unique malabsorption issues, delivered in such a way that your body absorbs the nutrients it needs. Use multi-vitamin with no fillers such as sugars, starch, sand, coloring, or other such
contaminants which have been proven to inhibit absorption. Liquid vitamins are also available. For correct dose check with your surgeon or nutritionist. One special product for bariatric patients is
Vita4Life3 special formulated Multi
Vitamin.
