Hi everyone
When I went to the toilet this morning I noticed something red! I had a past habit of obsessing and inspecting my poo which I had managed to control over the past couple of months, but this spooked me so I decided to inspect. The red bit was a bit of tomato but now that I could see it a lot closer than you would usually be able to, I noticed it was 2 tone, some a yellowy brown and some a dark red brown!!! Now I’m totally panicking and it’s bringing back all my Bowel cancer fears!!
I have eaten tomatoes, red olive paste and raspberry jam over the past couple of days, could it have been this? Could the fact the other half was more yellowy made it look a reddish brown in contrast?? It was quite subtle and only noticeable through inspection! I went again straight after due to anxiety and there was no redness at all. It also did not diffuse any redness onto the toilet paper or into the water, and when I wiped there was no redness at all.
I had a sigmoidoscopy in March because of my Bowel cancer fears but that’s all they would agree to give me due to not having any classic symptoms and only being 26. I’ve also had two sets of blood tests for another worry over the past month and I am not anaemic.
I’m supposed to go on holiday tomorrow and now I’m totally overrun with fear!! Please help!!
