Posted: 01/07/07 - 14:48 Post subject: worrying about health |
|
|
| I'm a 26 year old female with a family history of colon cancer, polyps, and diverticulitis. Within the past year I have been suffering with gas, bloating, abdominal pain (sometimes so bad that I can barely sit-knawing pain), changes in bowel habits (thin, pencil width stool), and constipation. I very worried, and because of my age, my doctor states to just change my eating habits and to increase my activity. Although I do these things I continue to have problems. Please help. |

| Why not seek second opinion? It is important to mention family history and all of the symptoms....when they start, what they're like, how bad they are....everything you can think of.....have you had any exams? |
