Nine years ?

[missykat]

Lately I have been having a change in bowel habits . Over the past couple of months . I go more frequently and it's a mix of hard and small poop or loose floating stool it can vary . I get bloating and bad gas and extreme sharp stabbing pains in my lower abdomen. Usually I'd go once a day in the morning but I go at least three times now but not always and it's a mixture of hard and loose and sometimes constipation. Often times there is red when I wipe . I had a colonoscopy when I was 29 I'm now 38 so I'm worried I may now have colon cancer . I guess what I'm trying to say is is it possible to develop colon cancer nine years after a clear colonoscopy. It's always possible I guess but I'm so worried , the pains I get are so bad. 😭

My poo habits have changed too, so has my o/h. Similar to what you've said.
Not a coincidence, probably due to food that we eat these days.

I guess . The bloating and sharp pains concern me tho and today I have no appetite and I feel nauseous 🤢

Could be wind. I had a bout of that just recently.
