hey guys

im 31 years old, had trouble with bowel movements since this april, on and off diarrhea,

i feel healthy, no pain or anything, i have a camera appointment coming up.

im just really worried, and its not helping my anxiety as i do suffer with mental health

  • Hi  48 is a pretty low reading but is good that you’re getting checked out.

    Only 1 in 10 colonoscopies results in a bowel cancer diagnosis. There are several conditions that can cause similar symptoms and blood in the stool like ibs, polyps, colitis, piles, diverticulitis etc. 

    I know it’s hard not to worry but worrying will cause more symptoms and then you’ll worry about those and things begin to spiral. I’ve attached a link to a post that a member shared a while ago about dealing with stress and worry which may help?

    Take care and please let us know how you get on?
