Sorry i’m posting here for some advice with anyone who has had bowel cancer and if these symptoms are alarming?
I am really struggling with my health anxiety and i watch my body like a hawk.
I am 27years old, no family history of BC, typically fit and healthy.
Sunday afternoon i started with a “bubbly” stomach, something definitely had not agreed with me. Accompanied by cramps (only when needing to use the toilet) loose stools on the Monday.
My stools have hardened since maybe type 4 on the bristol stool chart. But since that episode on the Monday, I have been passing stools once or twice a day but cramps before passing. Then waking up to needing a wee followed by cramps with wind then go onto passing stool. Iv hardly opened my eyes and my bowels are moving, has anyone experienced similar? I wake up with the urgency to pee but i know i need to pass stools there and then.
It’s almost as if my cramps are waking me. It’s been happening most mornings this week.
Prior to this my bowel movements were all over the place, constipated or just random times of the day i’d go to toilet iv never had a routine if im honest.
I used to drink coffee every morning & then use the toilet but since being pregnant I have stopped.
To add I don’t have IBS, well iv never been tested.
I had my bloods done 2 weeks ago, all ok, haemoglobin levels fine, no blood in stools.
Diet - high fibre, veggies, meat daily.
The foods iv consumed this week - Dates,brocolli,chicken,eggs,kiwi,brown seeded bread,rice.
