Please make sure you understand the long term affects of malabsorption and how you are going to maintain your levels for decades to come (considering you are 23), as well as commitment to the DS and the vitamins, supplements, protein, and labs that go along with it (for the rest of your life).

Noodles, no calcium??

I am nearing 7 years and I follow the above Vitalady protocol. I do not take iron because after surgery I was dxd with acute myloid Leukemia which by the grace of almighty God, I arm now deemed cured. During my year of chemo I recieved over 30 bags of platelets and 38 of red blood. This caused huge iron stores on my liver requiring several plebotmies.

I am not on any perscriptions; however I do take 8 ageless cures curcumin as well. I split mine into morning and evening and my labs have been great. I do have severe osteoporosis which is being treated with a daily injection of fortero. I also keep my d3 labs in the high 60s.

LOL. I used to know this by heart but I had to go to my vitamin list I keep to pass out to new Docs to count them up. I could have gotten up and fetched my daily vitamin sleeve but too lazy.

18 vitamins - split up about 5 times a day. This is highly variable depending mostly on what kind of calcium you are taking and how much. I take citrical max 3 doses a day of about 600mg per dose (6 tablets total)

3 for medications (thyroid and BP/Kidney)

so 21 total pills. tablets, etc

I'm 6 years out and found the whole idea pretty overwhelming right after surgery. Even though you should ramp up slowly as you heal - just trying to get my head around it was hard but you figure out what works for you and after a while it just gets easier.

I still tweak according to labs and sometimes I add or subtract or rearrange based on new information or old information that I understand better. Even sometimes just to see if moving things around makes it easier to handle the inevitable disruption of my vitamin schedule.
