Do I have IBS or Colon cancer?
Posted , 3 users are following.
All my problems started last year at the end of August, when we were on a vacation with my family. I had symptom(s) of: strong diarrhea, feeling that my bowel is not emptied totally.
By now all have symptoms like: fatigue (reason could be falling asleep at 1 AM and waking up 7-8 AM, but mostly won't get better after more sleep either), since a few months ago I started waking up every morning to that I'm passing a lot of gas, and feeling the need of passing stool (it is always succesful,sometimes i go twice or three times in the morning too), my stools are thinner (not always), sometimes I see blood on my stool surface (i think i also have fissure since i checked it out with mobile phone camera (LOL), and it looked like a wound sooo yeah.), also I have sometimes nausea which is most of the time comes with lower-right abdominal pain which is sharp or dull. When this pain is present and I go to the toilet more than 2-3 times it'll hurt even more and I can't pass nothing but ribbon like stools. I also have sometimes pain in my left-middle part of my upper abdomen which is stabbing. I've realized that, after eating pizza or food which is spicier I'll have diarrhea in the next day morning. Do I have colon cancer? I'm 19 years old and I'm very very afraid. Please if someone has/had the same symptoms reply!!
P.S: sorry for my english.

OK, so we are not medically qualified, and to be honest, you will only get answers by going to see your Doctor. That said, you would be way outside the normal age range for cancer of this sort, and there are a whole host of other things which are far more likely. But to repaet, only your Doctor can order the tests to figure this out. You do partly answer your own question- eat Pizza, feel ill. So, could be a dairy intolerance.Spicy food will upset many peoples stomachs, so thats not really unusual. Also, don't Google symptoms. If you put in headache, it will tell you you've got a brain tumour! Far too much poor info on medical subjects on the net, so stay away from that and go see your Doctor.
