Brief Answer:
This doesnt sound like cancer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Your type of symptoms can be there I will tell you how to get them better.

Talkimg about colo rectal cancer. It is very very uncommon in your age of 29 , secondly it doesn't really present with diarrhea or disturbed bowel habits it presents with pain or blood in stools.

In young age rectal cancer only occurs in people who have genetic make up which makes them predisposed to the cancer. Some of the diseases are femilial rectal polyposis which may cause early age cancer but this would have been diagnosed in your gasteo checkup which you just had. Plus it would have created symptoms since childhood ,

I would suggest you not to panic about cancer if you have no family history and disease known to you before.

You bowel issues will get better as your gastritis gets better, irritable bowels can cause such issues of consistency problems

Here are a few tips.
1) Avoid fizzy drink coffee caffeine .
2) Use syrup gaviscon thrice a day.
3) Use more fluids.
4) Use fibre much you can even use fibre supplements.
5) Use good quantity if fruits and vegetables.
6) Do daily physical activity.




I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.

Brief Answer:
76 years is an age wherr one can have cancer but 29 is too younng

Detailed Answer:
Helo,

Thanks for writing back , Well it's understandable to have cancer in 76 years of age but this is not a risk factor like if ones father had a heart attack after 60 years of age it is not a risk for the son..After 60 people can have problems but you are 29 and in this age there has to be some big back ground problem to cause cancer.

I wont recommend you to INSIST on a colonsocopy but yes you can discuss your concerns ans anxieties with your doctor and about further possibilities.

Brief Answer:
There are so many things to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health care magic,

Dear me, every thing can not be learnt well from the internet experts can interpret what is written there, it can help you understabd your condition better but you can not diagnose it with internet knowledge.like if there is written on the internet that disturbed bowel movements is a sign of, cancer but i can tell you a 100 more reasons in which bowel movements can be disturbed.

While considering the cancer we have to consider many other factors like age, risk factors, other diseases, signs symptoms..

In colorectal ancer there is old age... long hisotry of constipation,blood in bowels(yes you are right it may not be visible to naked eye but it can be detected in stool for occult blood test which can help ,you can discuss this with your doctor in next visit). Then there is sxtreme weight loss this is called cancer cachexia, rectal pain can be there...and then sitrubed bowel movements....

Only having disturbed bowels does not mean you have cancer. I would like to suggest you to keep calm... do life style change as i suggested and discuss your fears with your gastroentrologist in next visit ...he can run some tests to rule out cancer...

You do not have to feel sorry about asking questions I am always there to help you with your health care realted issues, you are welcomed to ask more...

I hope that helped you getting things more cleae.

regards.

Brief Answer:
Here is the info you asked.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back,

Gastritis can definitely cause lose stools... there are a few reaons , rather theories about that.

1) Somach gets irritated this leads increased gut motility as a normal reflex to irritation and digestion gets diaturbed that makes the stool loose.

2) If acid quantitiy is raised in the stomach that can cause acidic food which irritates gut and increases motility.
3) Anxiety related to GI diseases can cause stress motions.

About mucus,
It is due to hypersecretion of musous from mucous glands...it may be due to gut irriation, inflammation, amoebic infection , inflammatory bowel disease etc. It is not bad individually untill suspicion of a disease is there in the mind of a doctor. It can be there with lose motions due to irritation of gut.

Dear me , dont be anxious your appointment with the doctor is not very far away you will visit your doctor in about a week from now , It is relieving that your leaving milk products and horlicks has caused bowels to get better, I would like to use more fiber as well.

Here i want to mention that stress can cause loose motions too so stay calm there is no evidence of cancer in your history or symptoms...

You can discuss every concern with your GI and discuss about getting the work up done. Do not be anxious , stay calm and follow good diet and lifestyle.

Regards.
