I recently posted this on another DS forum, and thought I'd share it here as well:
Looking through the collection of documents for the DS patient at the Central Valley Bariatrics website (Dr. Ara Keshishian), I found that there is a newly updated version of the DS Patient Workbook. It's a fabulous resource and well worth reading, especially for an old vet DSer like me who may have forgotten some of the basics of post-DS eating and supplementation. I was particularly interested to see new guidelines stating that calcium and magnesium are antagonist with each and should be taken separately. I think this is important information because many calcium citrate supplements are sold as combination products with magnesium in the formulation. He also recommends taking heme iron over other forms. Here is the link to the new book:
