Hello, I am new here. After surgery there were a lot of complications. Long stays in and out of hospital. It was very bad for 2 years. I then developed Celiac disease which took 5 years to diagnose.

I use this one, but I’m only a year out. All my bloodwork has come back good. It’s gluten and lactose free.

Welcome to the group! Sorry you've been having malabsorption issues. The only one I have used is by Celebrate Vitamins for bariatric patients. I seem to do well on them so while I thought I would switch to something less expensive after 1 year out, I've decide to stick with them.

Hi boo62. Sorry to hear of your issues. Since these problems (celiac, malabsorption) are rare and could be serious for bariatric patients, this forum may not be the place to get guidance on vitamins and supplements. What do your PCP and nutritionist say?
Thanks for your advice, I see a new doctor this Friday. We will discuss this.

Before I even had surgery my dr talked about how the absorption of medicines and food will change because of the surgery. The small bites and chewing to help your body adjust for starters. Medicines with slow release over time were not encouraged. The recommendation was chewable for best results. But not gummies. Too sugary. This is really what you and your new dr need to establish in the beginning. May you find success and positive results.
