Sigmoidoscopy worry

Hey i was wondering if anyone had anything similar, im 22 & suffer from very lose bowel movements at least once a a day, sometimes i get really bad flare ups where i'm on the toilet up to 11 times a day! no blood, no weight loss, or stomach pains just a very bad toilet habit. i've been tested for coeliac and am awaiting results and i've also had samples taken, which have shown high levels of inflammation, so i'm booked in for a sigmoidoscopy on july 1st, but i am petrified that this could be cancer. 

has anyone else been through a similar thing?

  • Hey - don't worry!

    sounds like you will be getting a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease soon! I have the same condition for the last 6 years. Chances of cancer are slim to nothing. Just focus on getting the flexi sig done and make sure your consultant starts you on a 5 ASA or biologic medication to keep your condition in check as well as prescribing steroids to stop the inflammation. 
     

    all the best! Everything will be ok!
