I am scared , i am worried about the same old thing again.COLON CANCER OR SOMETHING
Well, ever seens or maybe before i left to my overseas school project , i had bad constipation and it could be frm e food although or controlling too much, but it gotten worsen when i came back i was full of bloated stomach and weird hungry feeling and sounds, i didnt bother much afterall, i had stomach pains and always had frequent bowel movement, and i just had twice diarrhea in school, i notice my first loose bowel had little red spots as i thought it could be cause by my tomatoes feast. I eat tomatoes Salca with rice mostly all time when i am hungry, ok and that doesnt matter, and e loose stool turned back to normal , i just have bloaty gassy kinda feeling in my stomach or somehow hungry or whatsoever feeling, i thought of going to see a doc but it gets little better. Today, i went to the toilet and did my business, i saw dark red with small streaky pink thing and now worrying i have colon cancer. i kept telling myself i might just have ate too much tomatoes. i just don't wanna see a doc and end out with bad results.. i am just worried. i just hope that answers could just tell me its e stupid undigested tomato.. thanks :(
Alright I think u r right , I m so srry fr being a nuisance here and posting so much as well, It could be some health problem that I don't wish to know. I am sorry fr posting here that I shld b finding a solution n not posting personal health issues, I jus need a doc to tell me I am fine. And I will take ur advice fr working with my parents about my health. I hope i will be fine and see how it goes.
Well, hi, everything was back to normal , I did a bm just, if you think I need a medical help now? Thanks fr telling me , I think I shldnt be over concern. Thankyou very much.
I'm an old guy, I have two grown children so I have no current experience with dealing with young adults - but as a parent I think you should be checked by a doctor.
I am not saying I have any insight into your situation as to it being of any real danger, but I think healt issue/symptom that doesn't just pass in a few days should be referred to a doctor, at your age of course with the support of your parents.
I was drawn to read this thread because of the number of posts by you, and concern that you may be aggravating your condition rather than finding a solution.
With some luck, someone will read who has had a similar experience and have found a cure, but even if that happens the "cure" may not apply or work for you.
Work with you mom/dad and local medical help.

What I meant was I was concern so I checked my stools, I was normal! And later the toilet water turned red! I believe I am not suffering from any problem? Could it be something .. I really don't know! My mom said I am fine. I had problems of bm since young? It don't look like major illness to me but I need a comfort zone here I am depressed . I am scared I can't concentrate on anything
Not trying to be nuisance, I have this weird problem , well it happened many times before but this time I poop soft short thin stools and stools that are never solid I wouldn't say its a diarrhea but just normal .. I feel that I have constipation as this past few weeks during my period, my bm were rather same but I wouldn't say it's normal big stools.. I have this always during my period , I had loose bowel during my period almost like diarrhea kind of , and I saw blood well, I tot blood was frm Period.. Lately I have been pooping soft stool, I don't see blood but yesterday and today, I tried to check on my poop I don't see blood but e toilet bowl looks abit light red , n my poop are like small round brown could see it isn't hard. Jus soft constipation kind , could it be ibs, I don't wanna see a doc , if they say I m suffering frm diseases ?! I am scared I just turn 16 this year and I do not have history of colon / bowel cancers at all!!!!!! My dad has same problem like me i think and my aunt have weak intestine, could It be e reason? I have ibs??

Hi, how old are you? Normally the stools color and consistency will depend on the food we eat. So, if you consume plenty of tomatoes, it’s most likely that the reddish discoloration is due to this. Try avoiding this and see if the color changes. If it persists or if you develop additional symptoms like altered bowel habits, frank bleeding, loss of appetite or loss of weight, consult your doctor for an evaluation. Regards.
