"Follow your GP’s advice, and if you don’t feel able to wait a week to see if what he has advised helps, then go back and see him before then and talk additionally about your anxieties re this. Hope you feel better soon. " Thanks. I'll try not to worry as I don't want this to end being life threatening or anything like that | |||

"I just want to ask that, if there was to be any blood, would that be something that happens at the start of the symptoms or something that happens further down the line? Just asking out of curiosity that's all" There are a couple of conditions it could be that arent as serious as the big c but still a bit of a pain. Doc will sort you x | |||

Apparently I was not old enough to have cancer and I wasn’t bleeding or loosing weight. Nothing they prescribed helped and I kept going back until one day I was bleeding and in severe pain. Colonoscopy was booked and as soon as I’d had it I was told I had a large tumour that was more than likely cancer. Tests proved it was and if it had been left another couple of months it would have blocked my colon completely. I’m not trying to be alarmist as ibs is fairly common and most times treatable.

Sorry to hear that it had been a cancerous tumour. I hope that it had been treated straight away"I had an excellent surgeon and he operated to remove the beast as I call it. I had chemotherapy to make sure it had gone and finished that five years ago. A few months ago I had my last visit to the hospital for my regular check ups and was told I don’t need to go back. Apart from a colonoscopy in 2020 just as a final check. So I’m all good now | |||

"Hello I need some advice as I may have irritable bowel syndrome. The symptoms first started a couple of weeks ago with change in bowel movements, feeling bloated or constipated which made it hard to go in the toilet now and again so I tried taking Andrew's which have helped. When I first looked up on certain symptoms online, all I got was that they may be signs of bowel cancer. It scared the hell out of me but I noticed that one of the risk factors of getting that would be being over ther age of 50 so I'm sure it can't be that plus one of the symptoms for bowel cancer would be bleeding that I haven't got which is a relief. I went to the doctors about it yesterday and explained as best as I could. The doctor had a listen to my belly and said my bowels sound irritated so gave me a prescription for some mebeverine and told me to take one tablet three times a day to help regulate my bowels and if there no changes after a week, let them know. After a day of taking mebeverine, I can't tell if it's making my situation feel better or worse. If anyone here can give me some advice, that will be great as this is really worrying me."

Thanks. I'm sure what I have won't be anything serious as it's never been really painful. It just feels like being a bit bunged up. I would be able to go to the toilet in the morning and early afternoon but in the evening, nothing comes out. It hasn't stopped me from doing everyday things like work or meeting up with friends. It just can feel uncomfortable for time to time
There has been some good advice on here that I'm sure you've felt helpful, you'll soon be sorted
Yeah there sure are and I'm grateful of all the helpful advice I've been given "You're welcome, these things can be scary sometimes, I know! | |||

"OP, I'm also going through a similar problem but not IBS. It is scary when these things happen to us and a lot of us fear the worse but often they are treatable conditions. Your GP is looking after you, so try not to worry too much.
Yeah. I'll do my best not to worry
At least you've done the right thing and gone to your GP.
Yeah. I sure am glad to have had been to have it looked at
Too many people ignore things going on with their bodies and a lot of conditions can be dealt with quickly and easily once a diagnosis has been made. I went to GP with something, she done my bloods and discovered another condition, I didn't know I had, which is now being successfully treated.
Ah that's good to hear that it's being treated. I'll be glad once I've had my urine and blood tests done. I'm sure they'll turn out fine.
What annoys me is that when it comes to looking up any symptoms online, the big c is almost the first thing that comes up which I think shouldn't the first thing connected to the symptom as the symptoms are mostly not connected to that
Yes they always come up with that! I'd convinced myself I had cancer, but mine was a stomach bacterial infection, but the symptoms were that of many other conditions. My GP diagnosed it before I had the test!
Yeah. It did scare me when it came up with that all the time but I'm gonna remain positive and not let it get to me

"I would recommend leaving it to your docs to diagnose you and treat you as treating yourself with whatever so and so recommended in this thread can actually cause more problems and taking over the counter remedies regularly isn’t without side effects either . Suspecting a condition based on symptoms common with other conditions isn’t quite the same as having proper diagnostic tests to confirm it , trust me " Thanks. I'm having my blood and urine test tomorrow and probably will have the results at my next appointment next week | |||

Try and cut out dairy for a week or so as well and see how you get on, milk/milk based products often annoy your digestive system.
