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.
