Hi my names Jaime, I am 25 years old and I suffer bad health anxiety and since March on and off I have convinced myself I have bowel cancer.
I have spoken to my GP who put it down to mild ibs induced by anxiety but I can't help but think it's a lot worse then that.
In March I noticed my stool was more loose then usual not to the point of complete diarrhoea but mushy and sometimes formed but mushy this happens on and off and will mainly be more soft the more rubbish I've ate doctor told me to make a food diary of what could be triggering that but still not found the trigger which is leading me to think bowel cancer even more because if it was ibs surely I would of found my trigger by now.
I had a lot more undigested food in my stool tomato skins, beetroot, carrot skin.
Last week when I've wiped I've noticed small amount of bright red blood on the paper, this didn't happen again until this morning.
I'm also seeing more mucus in stools and approximately 3-4 times I've had diarrhoea episode lasting around 30 minutes all these occurred after eating and was relieved by going then didn't happen again for a while
Past couple weeks my stool has been normal type 3.
