Nutrient deficiencies of bariatric surgery are identical to impaired 'stomach acid - digestive power' - namely lowered HCL, Intrinisic Factor, and Pepsin production/activation.
- Regardless whether the condition of weakened digestive power is age-related,
due to PPI's, due to gastric bypass, or stress/bad nutrition - the
mechanisms of nutrient deficiency and the degeneration are identical.
- The clinical first manifestations of just B12 deficiency alone are:
- Nerve destruction and loss of motor control, balance, memory and lowered red blood cell count.
