Low stomach acid

Low stomach acid

I have been with someone for two years and watched her health decrease over time. I have taken her to many docs and set with her through many tests. No answers. She has severe stomach pain immediately after eating and fights extreme constipation, somtimes "going" only once or twice a month. I started reading about low stomach acid and all the symptoms fit her to a T. Last week I got her a bottle of Betaine to try. It is helping a lot in less than a week. Bowel movements almost every day for the past three days, reflux is gone, less stomach pain, no bloating, and even less mood swings. The doctors have always treated her for high stomach acid and IBS, but the meds only made the problem worse. My question is whether there is anything better she could take and how long should it take to see full results? also is there a link between bladder pain and Low acid and could the candida actually cause loss of emotional feelings? She has been through a lot with things in her life but has a hard time developing strong emotional feelings. Could this be due to the candida?
