I have had loose stools for one week now (once a day in the morning.) This in itself may not seem a big deal, but I drink a lot - an average of just over 4 pints of light lager per day. I am concerned about liver damage. I had my liver tested (blood tests,) 3 years ago and it was all clear. Secondly, I am concerned about bowel cancer, my Grandfather and uncle died of it (I am middle aged.)
I have no other symptoms at the moment, weight is the same etc, no discomfort.
Overall I’d say that my diet is good.
Basically I have convinced myself that I have liver damage or bowel cancer, and am now in 'full panic mode,' to the extent that I am not functioning properly at all. I also experience regular health anxiety, and almost every week find 'new symptoms,' that cause significant anxiety.
I have just forced myself to the health centre (only due to pestering from a relative,) which I always tried to avoid due to health anxiety, and await a call from the doctor. Fingers crossed, he will phone me today, as I quite literally cannot think about anything else other than this matter.
