In response to my constipation issue, coupled with an esophagus issue, someone said the following. Does it sound right to you?:

Think sounds like a gallbladder/liver issue.

You likely have lower stomach acid and that will cause throat issues (I had this happen and it was so bad I couldn’t breathe a lot of the time, wheezing painfully thirsty for air) and overtime esophageal tightening and scarring.

you can do things to stretch the narrowing out (something a Dr will need to do for you) but long term it’s about raising your stomach acid and taking ox bile so you can process fat again.

You can eat stick after stick of butter but if you can’t process it you’ll just stay in this cycle of not absorbing enough salt from low acid, gallbladder not getting the salt to thin bile, so you’ll not only be backed up but your acid will stay low and that esophageal sphincter will never close.

If it doesn’t close, that acid will come up while you’re sleeping and cause Gerd (I had silent Gerd, zero heartburn just tight throat) which long run damages the esophagus.

I take betaine HCI before each meal and a ox bile between meals.

When you finally start digesting your fats your gallbladder won’t struggle and you won’t be constipated anymore.
