Colon Cancer
For the past few days I've been having with really flat crap, or really small crap where I'm only getting one small piece of crap out per day. Is this normal or is this colon cancer?
Abdominal distension
Abdominal pain
Unexplained, persistent nausea or vomiting
Unexplained weight loss
Change in frequency or character of stool (bowel movements)
Small-caliber (narrow) or ribbon-like stools: I don't' think so?
Sensation of incomplete evacuation after a bowel movement
Rectal pain
Age. About 90 percent of people diagnosed with colon cancer are older than 50: I'm 20.
A personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps: Not that I know of.
Inflammatory intestinal conditions
Inherited disorders that affect the colon: I might have hemorrhoids, though it usually doesn't cause a problem for me. Basically it's not active most of the time.
Family history of colon cancer and colon polyps: Only my grandma, nobody else even polyps. My parents who are over 50 both got colonoscapes, neither one of them had any polyps.
Diet. Colon cancer and rectal cancer may be associated with a diet low in fiber and high in fat and calories: Probably
A sedentary lifestyle: Yeah, but do try to get at least a little bit of exercise each day.
Diabetes: Nope
Obesity: I'm only 142 pounds
Smoking. I don't smoke
Alcohol: I don't drink
Growth hormone disorder: I don't think so.
Radiation therapy for cancer: I've never had cancer or anyone in my family except for my granda who was a smoker.
Hopefully it's just my Ocd and gad doing this to me.
I have been to a doctor before on this, but he just didn't pay much attention to this fear.

Sounds like you have a constipation problem ,eat a good dose of fiber to get going again.Depending on your age would play a big factor on if you should tell the doc. or not. If your over 35 you should at least run it by the doc. if it persists.
