Colon cancer

[WorriedGuy2019]

Hi all, i decided to seek help here because my situation is making severely depressed and terrified. It has been almost 2 years that i began having gastric problems without a diagnosis. It all began with severe acid reflux, i had severe heartburns and silent reflux, at this point i have been diagnosed with GERD and sent away home with pantoprazole. The pills didn't help and i lost a lot of weight, i started to look like a holocaust survivor, so i went to see a gastroenterologist. Endoscopy done, abdominal ultrasound done, bloodwork done, diagnosis H Pylori. After treating it with antibiotics, i gained some weight back but my issues continued to get worse at this point i got prescibed Dexilant which didn't do much.i developped a dull pain on the right side of my abdomen sometimes it traveled to the back (abdominal ultrasound didnt show anything). I have developed a lower back pain on the same side and a pelvic pain as well that could be paralyzing at times. Sometimes i wake up bloated and vomit. Im always drained and tired. My stools became abnormal, fluffy, sticky, weird shaped foamy, porous with undigested food. My GP brushed it off as ibs. I tried changing my diet, nothing helps, im getting desperate and extremely depressed it affects my life to the point i obsess over this, its pure torture. By times i get a stabbing pain on the right side of my abdomen which can be severe but doesn't last long. I tried to stay positive but i start to suspect colon cancer, and having the phobia of doctors is just making all this situation pure mental torture, please help me, I'm a 28 year old male i hope that im wrong and it's something benign.... Please help me...

It does sound like IBS to me as well.

This sounds like my normal stools with ibs, I would be inclined to believe what the doctors have to say - they are the ones with the training after-all! I also do get pain in all sorts of places.

When we obsess over these things they often persist, even with a good diet my bowels can get very grumpy with me when I’m stressed, in fact I find it more strange to have a ‘normal’ bowel movement and no pain through a day.

Positive vibes,
