Vitamin A test blunders!

http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ds/action,replies/board_id ,5357/cat_id,4957/topic_id,3432606/a,messageboard/ Read about how we are supposed to prep for our nutrition tests- especially Vitamin A test....I sure didn't know any of this and had to repeat my test twice now! *If link doesn't work, go to Duodenal Switch Forum and look on page 2 for posting  called "vitamin A Blunders"

Hmmm - interesting.  What is the issue with Vitamin A?  I didn't realize that would be a problem for us. Linda

I know they check for B in RNY patients but think they run a full scan of all the nutrients when they do bloodwork. In DS patients they check A & D  as we don't absorb all we eat.

Hmmm - this is interesting.  I know we don't absorb everything either.  That's one of the reasons I picked RNY - malabsorbtion along with the restriction.  I'll have to ask which tests they run next time. Linda
