Convinced I have colon cancer....

[tan235]

Hi all,

I haven't had a normal bowl movement in 2 months.
It's gone from constipation to loose to now constipation with one normal quite large and amazing bowel movement every afternoon which I find totally weird.

I've done a stool test for blood -= clear.

However not all cancer's bleed... every morning I'm constipated, then 2 hours later I need to go again, more pebble pellets then normally around 2pm I go again and it's a gorgeous smooth snake poop.

What the hell is going on!?

I'm going to demand a colonoscopy but does anyone else suffer this?
I am getting stomach cramps too today, which went away (kinda) after i went to the toilet and did the perfect poop. Also it burns too.

I"m over it, it's ruining my life, I just want a normal poop and a normal gut please.

Any help would be appreciated at this time, I have a toddler and can't focus straight/

could be IBS, stress makes it worse. Since none of us our doctors it'll be good to talk to a doctor about it, but it's not colon cancer! :)

How do you know it's not colon cancer if you're not a dr ;)
I have another appointment on Friday - I'm over it.

[MM]

the chances of me being right are like 99.9%, especially since you have no bleeding, so i took the risk ;)
good luck with your appointment though! :)

Can anyone with IBS let me know if they too get something similar to this?

[MM]

I have IBS which is why I mentioned it :) It sounds like IBS.

Oh sorry MM ... I didn't know - it does?
You can go weeks and weeks with pebble poop then a normal poop?
I'm so over it. I just want normal poop.
I'm eating healthy, taking psyillium husks (hence the perfect snake poop) but i still have constipated poop in morning and a few hours after, seriously it's like a rabbit popped before me!

Do you take any medications that could possibly constipate you? Surprisingly probiotics made my stomach worse and my acid tablets made me constipated in the first place.

no medications ... nothing.

Stress can really change your bowel movements...even without knowing it!

Now i have cramps and diaherroa .... does anyone else get bad bowels for months on end. I'm losing my mind today, I can't cope, I"m in tears and i have a toddler. It's awful, what if i have colon cancer and it's untreatable.... I need help.
