I'm noticing that my food isn't digesting.

Vegetables, like banana peppers, lettuce, pickles, stuff like that, it just goes right through me and it's weird.

I'm guessing I'm definitely not getting proper nutrients if this is happening.

Nope, you're definitely not getting nutrients from food that just slides right through your digestive system. There are foods that I'm now totally turned off from--because they show up whole at the other end. I get queasy just at the thought of peas, mushrooms, spinach. Better start taking some good multivitamins, if you aren't taking them already.

any brand you would recommend?

'Fraid not. I'm really disciplined about taking my 6MP each morning, but other than that, I have trouble making myself take pills. So I take gummy multivitamins, or any kind that makes me feel as if I'm having something sweet, rather than something medicinal. They're probably not nearly as good for you as other kinds.

Ewww! I thought I was the only one that happened to (peas, carrots, peanuts, spinach, peppers, etc). No wonder I feel so UNhealthy (am taking a mult-vitamin daily).
