HI, IM 15 AND I have been to the doctors for my bad stomach and told him i kept getting stomach pains and that i get an 'acidy taste' in my mouth and he said acid reflux… after a check. But a few days later i was panacing about having cancer and my mum got the doc to ring me and tell me i didnt have cancer. BUT recently ive had gas, a thin dark line of blood in my stool and then it was black, and im constipated. IM ALMOST SHAKING HERE could i have it? AND BLOATING TO
Answer:
It is unlikely that you have stomach cancer. It does sound like you have some sort of GI distress and need to have a few tests to find out what's going on. Blood in the stool that is still red is not from the stomach. Constipation and black stool may have something to do with an abundance of iron in the diet, among other things. Your anxiety about it all certainly just adds to the difficulties. Please see the doctor again and express all your concerns. Write a list of questions before your appointment so you don't forget anything.
Don't pay any attention to Prof. Science, who is most certainly NOT a physician. No physician would say such things to you in this forum or any other.
I hope you feel better soon.
Answer:
Explain the new symptoms to your mum, and make a new appointment to see the doctor. The symptoms are most probably pretty normal stomach/bowel problems (we all get constipated or gas from time to time…especially if stressed).
But you need to see a doctor, explain your worries and get reassurance. And some help with the anxiety.
Don't let the doctor dismiss you with "you're young and healthy, stop worrying". You are old enough to worry and so old enough to deserve a proper explanation of what he thinks is the problem, and WHY he is confident you do not have cancer.
Colon cancer is extremely unlikely in a person of 15. Yes, it's possible, but if your doctor has checked you over and says it is not cancer, then trust him (once you have the explanation)
Answer:
You Need a Immediate Screening For 'Colon Polyps'. As soon as Possible.
Without the screening it is impossible to say that you have cancer or not even though you have the symptoms.

Answer:
It could be I.B.S. ask the doctor about it but worry & stress make it worse i have had it 4 16 year. You need 2 have a blood test & maybe a few other test. If only 2 stop you worrying your DR should be a little more understanding but you need 2 settle down worrying wont help it will only make things worse.Go back 2 your DR & talk 2 him about I.B.S.
Answer:
Dude…….lets analyse ur symptoms okay???……First and foremost ur bleeding from ur stomach……due to the dark colored blood in ur stools. For some reason there is a increased acidity for unknown causes. I'm guessing, three probabilities. I presume a bleeding gastric ulcer, or atleast gastritis.
Note….the first symptoms of cancer is marked loss of weight and weakness.
Ur condition being totally gastric in origin…..I'd suggest u immediately go for a gastroscopy (endoscope).
You havent mentioned fever and voimiting…..which is strange……..
Right now as drugs I'd suggest Omeprazole(anti acidic) It ought to calm ur symptoms.
Answer:
You need to see a GI Dr.-He will probably order a colonoscopy-which will determine what is going on with you. There are a lot of colon disorders which can be readily cured and controlled. Eating bad food can cause gas and bloating and bloody stools, so dont panic!!!!!!
Answer:
I would be very surprised if you have cancer especially at your age, there could be a problem with your bowel, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrone, which would account for your symptoms, go back to your Doctor, and explain all of your symptoms again then you will have peace of mind. Good Luck
