Does this sound like colon cancer or a mlabsorption problem? please help

Posted , 5 users are following.

I have had stool with foul odors that often float and there is often a clear oily residue on the top of the toilet water. today I had one with light brown that was very soft but not diarrhea and it had Sulphur smell to it. Does this sound like colon cancer? I some times have constipation but not really diarrhea but very loose stools (maybe steatorrhea). I have had small bits of white stuff (maybe mucus) as well as stringy almost floss/ silky material in stool. please help I am only 19. could it be celiacs?

    Your only 19 I don’t think you have colon cancer. Floating stools is normal it means you eat to much to much fat and your body can’t break it down.  You can get a blood test to see if you have celiacs because personally I do. And I’m having a rod shuved up my *** next week to confirm. Also I have diarrhea maybe 20 times a day and I’m 24. I think you have nothing to worry about and don’t google your symptoms go to your PDOC and tell him/her this.

    Hey it sounds like IBS to me which can be triggered by anxiety. IBS can do some crazy things to your body and it’s not harming it.
