We have a pt who had RNY several years ago who has been having seizures for the past 9 months.  She has been noncompliant with taking her vitamins (she doesn't take any at all) despite regular reinforcement on our side.  Does anyone know of any specific nutrient deficiencies that can cause seizures?
