This sounds more like IBS to me and you should ask the doc if it could be that.

hiya hun this is so common please dont worry i am like u quite alot and this is also a sign of IBS. my aunties husbands mum had bowel cancer and honestly u have not got that. if u not eating right foods u will be constipated u need to drink lots water and eat lots of fibre like all bran this always does the trick for me i have it hot with milk. also grapes are very good too. but dont worry just drink lots of water and the wind will sort itself out alot is to do with diet

I know everyone is different but I have a friend that has had bowel cancer and your symptons don't sound like what she went through. Never listen to 'someone' unless they are a doctor or have suffered with it - people always scare you other wise.

I had diarrohea for about a year before they did anything about it and looked into things more.

It is very common side effect of anxiety as well hence they didn't want to do any tests

did they mean diorrhea when said thin? ive not got that just very slim, thats why i was worried id got a blockage and was making them thin.. i bloody hate this ha.
