Colon cancer?

[Jb901]

I have stomach issues my entire life. Dairy just destroys me. Lately, ive beeb diagnosed with H. Pylori and i have lost about 10 pounds while taking the antibotics. Sometimes, I have a lot of mucus in my bowel movements and they can be thin and break off. I cant tell if there is blood because my stool is always light brown. I dont feel weak or tired. Although if i drink alcohol i feel nauseous the next day. Any ideals?

Hi Jb901,

Thanks for posting with us. I hate you are having these stomach issues especially over a long period of time. If you want to be sure and give yourself some peace of mind , go take a FIT test and know if there is blood in your stool. There are several home kits available to do this as well. Do you have any hereditary medical issues in your family? This would be good info for your doctor if you choose to go that route.

We do wish you all the best in getting a definitive answer so you can move on to getting on a path to being well. Please let us know what you decide to do and any results you may obtain. That's good info for others on this site as well.

Thank you,

Tom
