Possible bowel cancer

I'm just going to dive straight in, 

since a young age I was going to the toilet up to 4 times a day mostly diarrhoea then all of a sudden about 9 months ago I started suffering from constipation, I noticed I have had undigested food in stool at times and my stool colour changes colour a lot never red though. 

i have been to the doctors multiple times in the last year they have done bloods which have always been normal and just put it down to my IBS and anxiety, I started suffering from reflux last year but no longer get it and it pains in the right side of my lower stomach and back almost achy at times.

I am really scared that there is something more sinister going on but I'm not being listened to because of my age. 

  • Hello Worriedmum5

    I'm so sorry to hear that you're still dealing with ongoing health concerns. It sounds from your post as if you're struggling with things at the moment. 

    I can see from your previous posts on the forum that you struggle with health anxiety. Has your GP given you any support to better manage this? Do have a look at this information on the NHS webpage and we'd encourage you to go back to your GP to discuss all your concerns with them. Hopefully if you can get some support with managing your anxiety then the IBS will improve as well. 

    Best wishes,
