dannybex Hi there! for what it's worth, I seemed to be having similar stuff going on. Lousy digestion, stagnant liver/gallbladder function, fatigue after eating, stomach acid problems.... so on
I haven't had NutrEval report, but I am quiet sure that Kreb's is where I was breaking too.
What I have found helped:
a) sunflower lecithin - i still can't take a whole tablet (1200 mg, sunflower lecithin). I just open it up & squeeze some out & take it orally 1-3 times per day depending on how I'm feeling. If it take too much it's over stimulating, and I have noticed a pattern with me that too much of over-stimulation leads to fatigue. It's such a delicate balance with my brain. I'm sure it's related to global neurotransmiter dysfunction, perhaps glutamate sensitivity, but I won't go on...
b) I have started B5 (pantothenic acid) lately, and it has really helped. Not in the way of "wow this is a miracle cure", but more subtle & gradual energy sustainability.
C) Food Combining. I was thinking of trying Swedish Bitters too, but I was worry about potential sulfur problems with some of the ingredients. I am one of those that really benefited from following the CBS recommendations made by Yasko. I was having such huge fatigue after meals until I started following food combining principles. I eat meat/fat by itself, separate by at least a few hours from fruit (only eaten alone), & my starches/fat. I basically am following the diet outlined in:

D) I also found that IV vitamin C treatments through my naturopath helped immensely with liver function. She has also been putting some B1, and we are going to try B5 and B2 through IV as well. She said that IV vitamin C is a classic treatment for hepatitis (liver inflammation) and WOW I was so uber impressed with the improved hormone metabolism, increased energy and clarity of thought following treatment.
I've been having difficulties eating anything that might have a 'normal' level of fat, especially saturated fat.
What happens for you? I was diagnosed with a 2.5 cm gallstone a few years back, and have been focused on improving digestion since then... In addition to above, I have found that digestive enzymes are really helpful, but only certain ones. I don't seem to tolerate any HCl. My favorite is from AOR & has pancreatin which seems to be really beneficial due to my reduced pancreas function (I have severe hypoglycemia). I used to as well use Bile Salts, which helped @ time (but they are too stimulating now). Lastly, I seem to benefit from fresh lemon juice squeezed on just about everything I eat, but this is only after I can now tolerate citrus. At beginning of my recovery any small amount of citrus caused so much fatigue!
For the Kreb's specific stuff, Dr. Y recommends Vitamin K, and Lactoferrin, both of which I have found helped (more subtle). When I first started taking citrate formed minerals I found that they also helped too, especially magnesium citrate.
All the best,
