Could this be Bowel / Stomach Cancer

Hi all

In about December my stomach started playing up, i had one day of diarrhoea that did go quickly.  Anyways since then all day every day my stomach has been making loud and i mean loud gurgling / rumbling noises.  Everyone around me can hear them and its worse after i have eaten but they are there all the time.

Before Christmas i did go and see a GP (not mine as he was on Holiday) she was very dismissive and although she did a physical check of my stomach bascially sent me on my way and made me feel like i had waisted her time.

So on to today..the noises are still there louder than ever and show no sign of going away.  I am going to make an appointment with my GP but waiting times are about a week, I am 41 year old male by the way.

Could this be a sign i have bowel / Stomach Cancer? Dr google is freaking me out and i am conviced i now have that.

Thanks for any input

Chris

  • I have constant stomach gurgling and Popping noises in my stomach for over a year . I do have a hiatal hernia that was diagnosed about 6 years ago so every stomach problem since then I put down to this . I have had on going stomach problems for last six years but this gurgling and poppPop is crazy . I've had lots of tests done and found out I have gallstones but doctors say this is not the cause because I also get lots of pain on my left side of my stomach asweell . It feels like somthiy growing iny stomach . All tests clear so still don't have any answers . This issue now keeps me awake and stresses me out constantly and that is possible making the whole situation worse . 

  • Hi dizzy dawn.

    i too have very similar symptoms as yourself including the feeling of something growing on the left side and was wondering if you have been for any further tests?

    thanks and hope your well

     

  • Sorry to hear you are going through the very same. I still have no answers despite continuing to go back to the doctors and hospital  I am currently up at the hospital now waiting to be seen again.. 

    Last 3 days have been hurrendous and things only seem to be getting gradually worse. The doctors don't seem to be that bothered that every day I'm suffering like this. It's now starting to affect my mental health.

    Will let you know how I get on today.

  • If I were you I would opt for a comprehensive stool analysis that uses Pcr technology which will check you for parasites, bad bacteria and fungal overgrowth along with a whole list of other things. Geneva diagnostics do it but it ain’t cheap at I think 365 roughly.best of luck

  • Hi, I have only just seen this post as I lost the link to this site and came back a coss it by accident, I am still in the same boat and have even saved up 750 pounds and payed for a private mri scan but nothing showed up only gallstones and I been told they don't think this is my issue. 

    I went to see a specialist other day and he didn't let me speak and just over spoke me at every point, I didn't even get the chance to explain my symptoms. 

    I'm back to square one, the specialist only orderd bloods and stool sample. I came out the hospital in tears. I'm nearly 3 years and things have got much worse to the point I'm now out of work amd this was my biggest fear, my work was everything to me as I worked with homless charity and also run my own homeless charity as i have been homeless myself and wanted to help others, sorry gone right off track there.

    Anyway I am going to try and push the doctors again and try my best to get some answers.

    Kind regards 

    Dawn
