Multivitamins with no Iodine



Recommended Posts

Hey there everyone. So I feel like I may be alone in the world right now because there are no Multivitamins that have all the required levels of Vitamins for a gastric sleeve patient who is allergic to Iodine. I really want drink the least amount a pills a day but it seems impossible at this point. Someone with an Iodine allergy please tell me what you drink and how often. The Vitamin requirements that my doctor is asking for is the following:

Calcium - 1200 mg

Vitamin D - 3000 IU

Iron - 45-60 mg

B-complex (including Thiamine B1 - 100 mg) - 50-100 mg

B12 - 350-500 mcg

The vitamin is preferred in chewable form so that the body absorbs the vitamins faster and go directly into the blood stream.

Since no one replied to me I just wanted to give a quick update:

I am finally drinking all of the Vitamins I need to be drinking daily. I know I can't possibly be the only human being with a gastric sleeve that's allergic to iodine, so for those who are below is a picture of the Vitamins that a sleeve patients needs to drink for life:

Bariatric Advantage makes one that does not have iodine called "essentials" however it does not have Iron in it anymore either. They did away with the "Essentials Vitamin with iron" due to problems in storage with it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
