Symptoms

Hi I am a 27 year old male, always been in very good health. Over the past 4 months I've been having several abdominal symptoms. They include a dull pain in my lower left side, usually later in the day, but sometimes it reappears after waking up in the morning. Some days I have a bloated feeling in the intestines. Some days I also pass more gas, sometimes it smells bad, especially after eating surgary foods. I don't have diaheara, and the number of times I have a bowel movement doesn't change. There have been little white objects in my bm's some times more than others. I haven't seen any blood red or dried black. Other very rare symptoms include trouble going to sleep once or twice a month for a few days. Sometimes I have to rinate more times during the day. Twice over the course of this time I have felt a slight heart rate increase, usually I am laying down ready to go to sleep.I have an older half brother, diagnosed with colon cancer last year. I have done research and seen alot of similarities with IBS, I'm just wondering if I should put more thought into colon cancer. I had a CT scan and a FOBT, and blood tests for gall bladder and liver function when the pain 1st started.

Thanks for your time

I had that pain in my lower left side.  I did colon cleansing and it has not returned in 6 years.  I also had the white specks in the stool and it turned out to be pin worms.  If you want more information about what helped me, please email me at ***@****
