24 years old ... could it be cancer
by jamie25749, Oct 25, 2009 02:32PM
I am 24 years old and have been having diarrhea altnerating with constipation for about 1 week. Anything that I eat upsets my stomach. I hear the rumbling after I eat and feel like i have to go to the bathroom. Sometimes after I go I dont feel like I completely finished and sometimes its really thin. A few months ago I did notice some blood on the toliet paper and on the surface of my stool but it was after having a hard one. I am so worried abuot colon cancer. I went to my doctor and he said it was IBS and started me on a medication. What should I do?! I have myself sick!

I would go get a colonoscopy. I have the same problems: rectal bleeding, constipation and diarrhea. My doctor said it sounds like IBS but I'm not taking any chances. I am taking a stool test Monday and getting a referral for a gastro.
