Is this IBS? Or cancer ?

Hello I’m a 27 year old male.

My symptoms have been present for 2 weeks, this occurred after night of eating and drinking, and ever since the next morning that’s when all this occurred.

I have been having some, well let’s say discomfort in my abdomen. It feels almost as if I have a dull pressure feeling in my right side under heath my rib cage, sometimes on my upper right back. I also get a fullness feeling after eating.

My stools have also been irregular. Sometimes they are pencil thin, sometimes they are what I would call not particularly solid, but also not diarrhea.

This feeling usually occurs after I eat, and it intensifies as my body digests what I eat. I also have been more bloated than usual as well, and it feels as if I have trapped gas.

There has been no blood, no vomiting, no loss in weight. But I fear this is a obstruction in my colon, and this is cancer.

    hi brando, i am no doctor but i think after what you have said this sounds like it could be ibs. to rule out anything worse i would speak to your doctor though to reassure yourself that it's nothing worse!
