Often when I don't eat for a while my digestive pain feels worse. I remember hearing from someone in the past that this is a sign of an ulcer. I've also read that ulcers are caused by a bacteria.
Do you think this is an ulcer?
Does anyone have any recommendations for healing this?

You might want to divulge more info like age, height, weight, medical history, sex, what your diet is right now, when did this happen. Have you tried antibiotic drugs for ulcer infections... etc.

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.

Where are these digestive pains? Can you describe them how they feel like?
Look up Aajonus' book on the topic of Candida. He may give you a clue there.
Have you ever tried overdosing and cycling probiotics?

I have two types of digestive pain. Sometimes I get pain from food or lack of food under the Xiphoid process. The other pain I get is under and below my right rib-cage, which I am beginning to question if it is actually liver pain, rather than gastro-intestinal pain. The pain under the right side of my rib-cage is there constantly and has been for weeks.
I do cycle probiotics and am starting to take a higher dose an 11 strain probiotic. I have not yet overdosed on probiotics. What would be the recommended protocol?

I should also point out that when I first became ill with Lyme Disease and co-infections, the right side of my body began developing pains and felt rather disconnected from the rest of my body. This may have something to do with the digestive/liver/rib cage pain that I am now experiencing on the right side of my body.

any follow-up on this? i have similar pains and am having an ultrasound of my liver this friday to check for stones.

I'm just sorting dealing with it right now. I've become very disillusioned by Western doctors so I'm just experimenting with the RPD for a while. I may also start drinking raw goat's kefir to inculcate my gut with friendly bacteria -- this is frowned upon by many RPDers but I'm willing to experiment.

Yeah do what works for you FZ! For many people dairy is very helpful, if you don't find that it harms you it may very well be an excellent healing tool!
