I'm only 35, but apparently it's time for a fiber supplement, although the doc thinks mushy is OK.Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Share on Twitter Copy this URL Share via Email Colorectal cancer symptoms: 7 signs to see your doctor I was worried I was masking a symptom, but the GI told me if I had an underlying problem extra fiber would NOT make the poop go back to normal. If it helps any my poops pretty much went back to normal right away after adding metamucil fiber. Ultrasound and blood work so far has come back normal. I don't notice any blood but I asked him do a stool blood test just to be safe. He said he would be concerned about going more often or suddenly being constipated or having diarrhea for weeks on end. I went to the GI twice now and he told me it's normal and just based on what people eat and nothing to be worried about. I don't go any more often and sometimes they are normal (for me), but it seems like at least one per day (I go twice a day usually) will be sort of a mushy consistency. My brain has run through the gamut of explanations from IBS to UC to CC. I've been analyzing my poop for about a month and a half now and I can't figure out why they are softer/more mushy than normal. I have to say this worry takes the cake both in OCD checking and grossness factor. My current fear is colon cancer too (a new one for me). I have slight stomach pains for like 30 seconds and I've never had blood in my stool (only when wiping). I read that it's rare to have colon cancer under the age of 40 but still I'm so sure I have it. All Ive eaten is acidic and processed foods but yet I'm so sure I have Colon cancer. I just can't be logical with my health anxiety. I try to rationalize with myself and think that if I had a tumor that my poop would always be pencil thin. It's essentially a tumor in the Colon and it restricts your bowel movements and causes constipation.
All I saw was Colon cancer, so it prompted me to do some research. I did what almost 90% of everyone with health anxiety does, I Googled it and regretted it. I always told myself I don't have enough symptoms to worry about Colon cancer but now I suppose I do. I don't have a real reason why I was so worried about it but I am.
I've been fixated on Colon cancer for a few months now.
