Does Cancer Cause Griping Pain In Bowels?
i am really worried as i have something wrong with my bowel, i suffer griping pains at the same time of the day every day i cant stand with them,iv tried to vary my diet incase of irritation to foods but nothing has worked, what worries me is that 3 years ago i had a complete gastric bypass with a metre of my intestine removed does this make me more vunerable to cancer? i do have reactions to sugar because that part of intestine has been removed has this caused damage?

Hello dear. Thanks for question. The cause of your gripping pain as you described is likely due to the dumping syndrome which is seen after removal of stomach and intestines. It has nothing to do with the development of cancer. So you need not be worried for it. You can visit your doctor for suggestion requiring dumping syndrome. Hope that assures you.
