Can you guys please help me know if my stool normal or can be related to colon cancer, IBS, POOR DIET, ETC...

[Ramirezzzzz]

I haven’t poop hard but today it was odd seeing it like this, i did had to strain a little bit hard and my stool is usually a light brown to normal brown. Can this be something serious by analyzing it by the color of my stool? I never had two different colors at the same time. Is that blood ?Red/maroon tinted poo?

Hi Ramirezzzzz ,Thanks for posting. It can be difficult to tell what's going on with a photo, and that would be the case for a medical doctor (which we're not).

Are you experiencing other symptoms that you have you concerned about colorectal cancer?

Are you of screening age? That's typically around age 45. Do you have any family history?

Let me know and we'll try to give you our best advice,

Hi Nicole ! As right now I’m kinda bloated. I pass a lot of gas but sometimes I do not. It’s off and on. I have no family history of colon cancer

Have you had an annual check up within the past year? Are you due to see your primary care physician? That might be a good place to start to discuss your symptoms.~Nicole @ GCCA
