Need stomach acid expert help. Having chronic low energy issues, which I believe are a result of nutrient absorption.
I am currently 23 years old with chronic low energy problems to a degree which causes me to not go out much in the public unless I absolutely have to. This problem has been going on for about 8 years if I remember correctly. I believe this problem is caused by nutrient absorption due to low stomach acid as I believe I have candida based on my tongue. My tongue is also cracked as you can see in the picture. I don't believe I am lazy, just do not have the right energy I know I should have.
My main problem is that when I take betaine hcl for an extended period of time, I experience asthmatic symptoms when I wake up in the morning such as wheezing and shortness of breath. I also remember when I was very young, I had asthma and ear infections, which I believe are symptoms of silent reflux. So if taking betaine hcl causes silent reflux symptoms, why does it happen to cause asthma like symptoms? I don't experience stomach burning because I do not take excessive amounts of hcl.
One important thing to mention is my thrush ( white coating) on tongue starts to go away when I take the hcl and my mental clarity becomes outstanding, which means nutrients are properly being absorbed and my stools also appear normal.
Please help me out because I am tired of this low energy problem and I wouldn't be here if everything was ok. My diet is non-organic as it is too expensive for me at this point in time due to economy and bad job market. I eat chicken, salads, some minor junk food and I ALWAYS drink water. I never drink sodas.
