What Causes Bloating And Frequent Bowel Movements?

Hello there.I am concerned that I may have colon/rectal cancer or perhaps a tumour.In previous years, as the temperature has risen in summer, I have suffered from quite bad IBS. This year, however, I have noticed differences in the symptoms. As per normal I get constepation and difficult gas. This year, however, I have more of a bloated feeling and a deffinate sensation that I need to regularly go to the toilet when the result is often little to no stool being passed.I am male and only 24 years of age, although my family has a couple of incidents of rectal and colon illnesses in it s history.I intend to visit my local hospital but was hoping for a diagnosis of the likely hood of this being a tumour or cancer and any possible alternative conditions this could be.Many thanks for your help in this matter.

Hello,

You may be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. There is no exact cause for IBS. It may be due to alternated signals from the gut to brain.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Avoid gluten and lactose contain food.

Avoid processed sugar and follow the FODMAP diet.

Use tablet normaxin.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
