Taking Probiotics And Lot Of Fiber. Noticed Light Color Stools And Float. Itchy All Over Body. Paranoid Of Pancreatic Cancer?
Hi, I am taking probiotics and have noticed lately that my stools are light in color and float. i also eat a lot of fiber . For the past few days I have been itchy all over. My father died from pancreatic cancer so i am always on the lookout for symptoms. Do you think i am a little paranoid or should I see my doctor to discuss this. I am 56 years old, 5 foot 2 and weigh 118 lbs. Thanks!

Hi,
As you were taking high fibre diet n probiotic so the bulk of stool became more n was lighter so don't need to worry about that .Regarding your etching take Tab levocetrizine 10 mg once a day for 5 days .If symptoms does not relive then visit general physcian for further management . Serum lipase and amylase level should be checked for panoramic cancer every yr.
Hope this ll help
THANKS N REGARDS
