AquADEKs Multivitamins



Recommended Posts

Where can I purchase AquADEKs Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement - 60 Softgels. These where the suggested Vitamins that my surgeon told me to take after my surgery in 2004. I was able to find them online until recently. Any information would be very helpful.

@jfbeckeHi,

I'm assuming you're a full DSer as your surgery was done in 2004. At 13 years out, AquADEKs aren't nearly enough. Same with any type of softgel as they contain oil so we malabsorb them. You need to take your Vitamins separately in pill or capsule form (a.k.a dry). Have you had your bloods done recently? That will help to put you on the right track as to what & how much supplementation you need.

I can lead you to a sheet of basic DS supplementation, but it's really for newbies. You really need the bloods. :)

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes I have had my labs done recently and continue to have them monitored. My level of Vitamin D has always been an issue and in the last 4 months i had to have an Iron infusion because my iron was so low. Can you give me a list of recommended supplements that I need to be taking? My surgeon has left the practice and I can no longer find him.

Thank you,

Jerry B

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
