Worried about possibly illness

For the past few months I have noticed I keep getting perhaps a stomach bug where I get really bad diarrhea which usually only lasts about a day , but last week I randomly began to vomit bile and also had diarrhea. I started to get a really sore stomach which has lasted a whole week and I keep getting diarrhea on and off . The hospital mentioned getting bloods done do check for problems to do with my stomach but I previously already had tests done which all came back normal , I am just worried as I keep getting ill in terms to do with my stomach I also think I have lost a little weight in my face since being sick but I am not sure if that is because I am dehydrated. Is there any guidence someone can give me please on what to do next ?

  • Hello Bobbi21 and thanks for posting, 

    I am sorry to learn about the tummy problems you have been having.

    Unfortunately, none of us here on Cancer Chat can say for sure what is the matter, but any type of digestive system cancer would be unusual in a young person so this isn't the most likely explanation for what is going on.    

    I think the best thing to do is to talk to your GP about your symtpoms and find out what sort of tests have already been done, what they think is the matter and if they think anything more needs to be done to find out.  The GP is in the best position to make an assessment and it can help if you provide a clear history of all the symtpoms you have been having including anything that might be a trigger. Keep an eye on your weight too and let them know what it is doing.  

    If you haven't already seen it, the NHS website has information about how to manage diarrhoea and vomiting at the link below,

    I hope your GP can help. 

    Best wishes,
