Have you tried taking an anti-acid or acids reducer?
I was getting a rough depression after eating certain foods. My/my doctors current hypothesis is my liver was producing too much bile acid and triggering a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This would basically wipe my gut out. I couldn’t absorb nutrients correctly so my mood and energy levels would drop.
I now know it lasts a few days if I goof up my diet, but it use to appear chronic since I was basically triggering it daily.
What did you do to resolve the problem?
As OP alluded to, I think they take antacids.

Yes, that’s exactly what I take. Generic, Pepcid.
antacids just made my body ramp up making more bile. I eventually started taking betaine HCL, which helps when I have reflux or pain in the stomach. Seemingly a lot of bugs survive the stomach acid these days. Started taking the betaine when I went on carnivore diet and saw undigested meat in the stools.

Probiotics is also that comes first in to my mind.
Been collecting for a while. Latest success was supplementing with a probiotic specifically for oxolates. Prepare the gut with l-glutamine and silicea if you go that route
