Hello Chris and welcome to Cancer Chat!

I’m sorry you are feeling poorly and dismissed by the GP you saw before Christmas. Have you managed to book an appointment with your GP after that?

Looking up things on “Dr Google” is something we all do from time to time, but at least in my experience the more we do the more we worry so try to refrain from doing so if you can.

As for the question you ask, if you feel like speaking to someone on the phone you can give our cancer nurses a call, they are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040, this phone number is free of charge from a UK landline.

Also, I'm including here some links from our web page with information on stomach and bowel cancers. I hope this helps to ease your mind a bit Chris and do come back when you have a minute to let us know how you are getting on. 

Best wishes,

Just a follow up as promised, my normal also didnt seem concerned by my noisey tummy (which is as bad as it ever was) but decided to get a stool sample (x3) anyways i have just got my results and they have come back as negative for blood in stool.

He also did a thorough exam of my tummy etc and has biascially said that i have nothing to worry about and its looking like IBS.

Thanks for sharing Chris. Exactly the same here and feel less anxious about my going to gp in a few days now.

Its good that your going, I ended up pushing for colonoscopy and endoscopy and apart from very mild gastritis everything came back fine...Still the noises are there...none stop..used to them now

Hi I'm having loud bumping noises in my stomach it's like 3 loud noises at a time and I can feel it as well I've been having them years ,I've also had diarrhoea and stomach cramp on and off and I've been for stomach check ups and they couldn't find anything ,I have a hiatus hernia and I find if I eat too much cheese that can really make me worse so I've cut right back on that , I also have under active thyroid problems that can cause diarrhoea along with loads of other symptoms,I'm constantly having loud bumping noises all day every day and it can be embarrassing to be honest sometimes it sound like a cat and other people can hear it and I've had people ask me if I've eaten ,when I have and I get really bad wind as well and can hardly control it sometimes I do it without even knowing 

Hi- I'm also experiencing loud gurgling sounds and that's my main concern right now...idk what to do cause it's made me anxious and embarrassed on multiple occasions. I'm also young...almost 18 so it's really crazy as google is saying ut could be colon cancer and stuff like that. It's just frightening when our bodies act up and there's like no solution...
