I've also had constipation and also diorreah twice which was just like a normal stool except all watery and softened. My bowel movements have changed for example I did 4 stools yesterday & they always have lots of mucous, for about a week I did small hard pellety stools and sometimes they are almost squashed together with mucous.
As well as this I've had lots of gas, wind and gas pains since just before christmas which has gradually got worse although settles down sometimes. In the morning it is really bad and I feel sick until I pass flatulence. I keep passing alot of wind and feel as if I constantly have wind in my lower bowel to pass.
Worst of all is that for a week I had red bits in my stool that looked very much like blood, I'm sure it was blood but am convincing myself it wasn't. They were just in the stool randomly, sometimes they were solid and others times seemed part of the stool. I'm really scared and know its unlikely I'll have cancer at my age, I've been to the doctors twice and told them about the wind but am too embarressed to go on about my feaces etc
I have no family history of any cancers except lung cancer, and know that even if I go to the docs again and tell them everything there is no chance they'll give me a colonoscomy. My mum knows about everything & just tells me its probably IBS or because of my diet but the pain seems to get steadily worse and I just want to have a normal bowel again
What should I do? I don't want to leave it too late if it is colon cancer!
