Hi, I am a 43yr old male in generally good health. There is no Bowel Cancer in my family and im a non smoker. I have had erratic bowel movements over the last 6-9 months, for a few weeks it will be normal and then a week of diarrhea. I also noticed blood in my stool (light red thinish stripe across stool) this only happened once and freaked me out that much i visited A&E who did their usual tests and released me with no treatment needed. My bowels can have sudden movement, especially after fried food. I am now also having bouts of nausea and burping. 

My GP has advised a colonoscopy to find out what the exact cause is, he was fairly sure its nothing too serious because of the colour of blood. I am obviously terrified its bowel cancer.  I am interested to hear if anyone has something similar.
