Hi all,

Firstly, apologies if topics of this nature are not allowed or if I am in the wrong forum. If so, please feel free to delete this topic. 

I’m male, 25, no history of cancer within the family, never smoked or drunk alcohol, not overweight. 

Back in March, I had a takeaway meal which upset my stomach. Since then, my stomach has been on and off. My appetite has been affected somewhat, and I have lost around 1/1.5kg in weight. 

In terms of bowel movements, I pretty consistently empty my bowels once per day. Some days the stools float, occasionally they are semi-soft and I’ve had the odd bout of diahoerra mainly after eating spicy foods. Stool colour is typically light brown and I haven’t seen any blood. 

I do have a tendency to worry about my health so I don’t know if this has been prolonging due to that. I have seen my GP around it and she didn’t seem too concerned but did offer me a coeliac blood test which I am due to have as my sister is a coeliac. 

My question is, do my symptoms warrant further investigation i.e. an endoscopy/colonoscopy? 

Many thanks.
