Worried I have bowel cancer?

Okay so I’ve been having a weird tummy now for about a month. It started off with abdominal pains which lasts a few days then I started to get blood & mucus in my loose stools, I’m now bloated! I’m belching so much, I can’t see an increase in my farting though and it doesn’t smell any different. I have had full blood tests which show no anemia, very low CRP & ESR, liver and kidney functions are perfect, iron level was good, nothing abnormal was found. I’ve also done a FOB test and no hidden blood was found. No appetite loss (which is good because I love my food!) but I’ve lost a bit of weight (not much)

My stools have changed in size, they are much harder now, really thick in size with no blood and hardly any mucus, a normal brown colour too - I notice my stools float? Is this a concern? I also have this weird rash on my arm which I don’t know is related to my problems. I’m mainly concerned for this bloating as I know it’s a sign of bowel cancer. My poo sort of reassures me as I’m thinking - if a tumour was blocking my colon then surely it wouldn’t get bigger in size? No? I dunno :( I’m going to see my GP again as it’s improve in some ways - others it hasn’t! What do you guys think?

I’m 23 also. Thanks guys!

hi i am suffering the same symptoms almost 3 years now and they only concluded diverticulitis and all tests are normal so its quite perplexing, can you please tell me what was the outcome and did you find out why there was blood in the stools?
