Default First timer in need of help

Hello everyone!

Last September I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I very soon after had surgery and ended up having a benign ependymoma of the 4th ventricle. I was really surprised because I am a 27 year old male in average shape with really no prior medical history but that doesn't matter anymore. Now I'm on the long road to recovery!

I mostly tried to stay organic and vegetarian beforehand. The only supplement I took was b12. Anyways, I use a peg tube for feeding at the moment so everything needs to be in liquid form or a tablet that can be crushed and dissolved.

I am currently on jevity 1.5 which does not provide adequate nutrition in my opinion. I am not supplementing currently. I am really just trying to find products so I can have an intelligent discussion with my doctor or dietician.

I'm allergic to seafood so fish oil is out of the picture unfortunately. So far I've come up with algae oil, something with omega 3s. Is there any thing else that would benefit me? I am considering soy or whey Protein as well.

Please let me know which vitamins / minerals / supplements you suggest looking in to and why.

Right now I have problems with:

Balance
Weakness in right side
Swallowing
Coordination
Muscle contraction
Lack of sunlight.


I have requested to receive a full report that will show if deficient in anything.
