Negative FIT but still worried
Hi— Thanks for any advice you can give. I have dealt with constipation for a few years, basically during my second pregnancy and after. About a month ago I did both the DIY FIT test, and the one in my doctor’s office (so 4 stool samples) and all came back negative. However, I’m still suffering from constipation

Colonoscopy for the first time
Hi. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy on Saturday. My bowel prep includes dolculax as an alternative to Phosphosoda bc it's not available anymore here. I'm quiet worried if it will do the job of cleaning 😬😬 Also, any tips while prepping?

Lactulose... Ugh! Please help
So I started taking Lactulose yesterday again. Took it a long time ago with no problems I can remember. 1Tbs 2x a day. Now... 2Tbs 3x a day. I took the first 2Tbs and thought I would die from cramps and gas and then the runs. Drank water like a fish and still awoke dehydrated. Today I am doing 1Tbs 3x

Worried I have colon cancer
I’m new to this site, but I’ve been having lower left abdominal pain for about 2 months and my platelet count came back high again (492) I will be 22 soon and I know I’m young but that doesn’t make it impossible for me to have cancer. I’m waiting to get a CT scan but I’m terrified

Good news stories

Blood during period?
Hi all. I’m a 43-year-old woman who is worried about potential blood in stool. I started my period 2 days ago and noticed, what looked like, blood coming from the rectum as well as the normal monthly. I immediately called the doctor’s office, and they got me in that day. The dr did a Digital Rectal Exam

17, afraid I have colon cancer
Hello everyone. I don't know if this post will be long, so I'm sorry if it gets. First, I'm Luca, I'm 17, male, Brazilian, and I'm freaking out lately. On March 29th, 2021, I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, there was bright blood there. Not so lively, but like a stain. I spent that week searching

Colonoscopy and concerning symptoms
Hi all I've posted on here a few times in the past. My problems began while I was pregnant. I noticed blood spots in my underwear and some googling sent me down a dark hole. I'm now 6 months postpartum and my problems persist: incomplete evacuation, frequent bowel movements. No obvious blood in stool

5 months today
Hi All I can't believe I've reached 5 months smoke free today and I don't really think about smoking anymore. For those struggling I know how hard it is but you have to want to stop, for me my last chest infection was the last straw. I knew I had to stop and I am still trying to regain some lung capacity

Scared of colon cancer
I’m 15 and recently I’ve been having an insane amount of anxiety about having colon cancer. It started when I was feeling a little constipated and then I took some laxatives and was able to go again. But even after I go poop it still feels like I have to go like I haven’t fully emptied out. One of the
