Hi guys, I haven't posted on here in well over a year which I guess bodes quite well for my HA.
Basically a week ago I had a very nasty stomach bug with a lot of sickness and diarreah.
It took me about 4 days to get my energy back up and was able to get back onto solid food.
In the past 3 days I've been pretty much back to normal, which is just as well because I was meant to attend a friends birthday at a steak house.
I had a small steak which in hindsight wasn't the most sensible move considering that was a massive step from the dry crackers and soup I had been on.
Before and after this meal I went from diarreah to constipation in which I wasn't able to go at all.
The thing that has triggered my anxiety is that yesterday and today I have remained constipated and when I am able to go the stool takes on the form of undigested meat.
This has me terrified and the words cancer have flashed up in my brain. I'm currently juggling with thoughts of bowel cancer, stomach cancer and pancreatic cancer/pancreatitis.
The logical part of me is saying that this is my body trying to get back to normal after a nasty stomach bug but unfortunately thoughts of the worst case scenario are prevailing.
Does anybody have any thoughts or advice. Apologies for the long post. Many thanks.
