Surely goodsamaritan.
I'm a 22 year old caucasian male of Irish and German descent living in Pennsylvania. I have a lifelong history of antibiotics from many ear infections as a child. I never noticed it growing up, but I was rather chronically constipated, usually only passing a stool every two or three days ago and only doing so by forcing the stool for about a half an hour on the toilet.
I adopted a vegetarian diet for a while, then decided to reintroduce animal foods and cut carbs. At that time I became very ill with Lyme Disease and Co-infections and developed many physical, digestive, and neurological symptoms from that illness. I then was put on high dose antibiotics for over a year. I am now off antibiotics and am trying to heal my gut and the remaining symptoms of lyme and friends.
I am 5'10'', 150 pounds and I eat a largely raw paleolithic diet and have been doing so for a few weeks. I eat many organ meat smoothies and raw suet and raw egg yolks. I am a lover of all things fermentation so I eat fermented vegetables and am considering introducing raw dairy kefir into my diet. I am also reading more about fermented meat products and high meat.
I have never tried anti-ulcer drugs and have never been diagnosed as having an ulcer, but I very well might considering these symptoms. I would prefer not to take antibiotics again due to my medical history and gut dysbiosis. If you need any other information, let me know.
Zym.
