Don't forget about the stomach acid thing. What you've told me about how your body works almost gives me absolute confidence that you have hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid). I had it. I don't have it now. Untreated, it is a vicious circle. The nutrients you can't absorb because of it are precisely the ones you need to treat it. So, you have to over-compensate with those specific nutrients I mentioned, to increase your uptake via passive diffusion. Your pumps can't function, so you need to rely on gut-wall leakage effects, to get the nutrients you need into your blood, where they can then be available to the gut wall cells that need them to fix their enzymes.
Bizarre as it may sound, hypochlorhydria is often associated with the symptom cluster we call GERD.
