Hi and it recently occurred to me that I have been having diarrhea almost everyday for a little under 2 years. Sometimes it is very loose stool with some shape to it, or very rounded(like balls)  and separated. I have never had blood in the stool and don’t have any symptoms other than diarrhea related to Colon cancer. My mom and grandmother both have IBS, so I’m assuming that it’s due to my dairy intake, or the fact that I drink a lot of coffee and tea (almost 5 cups a day altogether) which speeds up metabolism.  As I have stated I am only 16 and wondering if I should get tested.
