Hi
I have been anemic for over a year now and because I’m a lady of a certain age it was felt it was a gynae issue. I had all that sorted out but I’m still anaemic. I have changes in my bowel movements, fecal occult blood came back positive, I have tremendous wind (anyone got a kite?) – intermittent pain in the gut and the doctor has referred me for a sigmoidoscopy and a gastroscopy. I am also so bloated and feel nauseous some of the time. Like some of you on this forum I am not looking forward to the tests but i know it’s important to rule things out. I urge people here to please take any test offered to you – bowel cancer is curable if caught early and your life is more important than any embarrasement or temporary feelings of being uncomfortable.

PLEASE get the colonoscopy. I had blood in my stools for three years. I finally had the colonoscopy and they found a large PRE-cancerous polyp which was removed. Drink the prep….this is you LIFE that is at stake.

hiya there.

dont be silly, get this done, i am the same as you, with the moviprep, picolax drink, that is nothing
compared to what you have have to put up with if they diagnoise something, i am the worlds worse at drinking this, the worst thing for me was the say before the proceedure, no food, just water/juice, that was hard, now go on and drink it, its worth it, then you will thank me, the proceedure is nothing, you get a sedative and in dreamland, your on the clock no go girl!!!

I have been dealing with Crohns since 1996 and was recently advised after many test that i have colon cancer. I hardly had any pain, but did have many of the other symptoms that suggested cancer. I would always suggest that if you notice something out of the norm to see a Doc ASAP.

I have had pain in my lower right abdomen for over 1 year now about 1 year and 3months to be exact. I have had blood on my stool for 3 years. The doctor felt that it was NOT cancer due to the fact that over 3 years of blood and over 1 year of pain would have spred to other parts of my body by now. He tried to get me to a colonoskipy sorry bad spelling. But i cant take the prep it makes me sick and i cant get it past my stomic. So i cant have that done to clean myself out. What do you guys feel here. Do you think it is something serious or should i assume that since its been over a year and the pain is still here that its just some other funky thing going on in my body.. Suggestions are always welcome! What can i do without the MOVIPREP can i just eat or drink prune juice? HELP!

See your doctor right away! Rectal bleeding is a serious issue.

I have problems going. Stool comes out bound up. Recently having trouble going, and feels like it all won’t come out. For Heather: You need to go see a doctor asap. If I had those problems I’d be at the dr’s office tomorow.

HI, I had a baby about a year ago and about 8-10 months ago i started getting sick. My doctor tries to make appointments for me to see a specialist but they either make appointments with the wrong building or they can only make an apointment in that office once a month. I am really starting to get worried and reading this makes me feel worse. My grandfather died of colon cancer when i was little and im afraid i have it too. Every once in a while i have a small amount of blood on the tissue when i wipe, Constipation, stools are a yellowish/orangish/brown, When i go to the bathroom its not alot and it feels like its hard yet when i wipe it looks soft and I feel like I still have to go. I have stomach and back pain which have been increasing, and alot of flatuence which is unusual for me, I have constant nausea and sometimes without warning will vomit or have extreme diahreah. and I’m always completely tired like I have no energy what-so-ever and it becomes hard to move my body. Im really worried and I was wondering if I have a reason to be?!
