Yes, especially Acetyl carnitine. This has been given to protect against chemo induced PN.

And yes, the Prilosec is preventing absorption of iron, and B12 and other things.

With this added feature...the Whipple's... he may need IV supplements. A special doctor, typically a naturopath or holistic MD will be able to advise you about IV supplementation.

This seems very complex to me, so a complex supplement intervention will be needed. More than for the typical PNer I'd say.
