      I hope not. Remember, these symptoms could be a lot of different things. My goal is to raise awareness to make sure you go and get checked. And the check will hopefully be negative for cancer. Prayers for you to find out what is going on, and that whatever it is, you receive excellent care and it goes away.

    I had simialr symtoms but instead of nausea I had more stomach gas (flatulence)Then the usual eat and an hour later in the bathroom It happened in 2018 and I lost a chunk of my bowel But how it was discovered is I went to have my teeth cleaned and my dentist said my blood pressure was so high he would not touch me and sent me to my doctor She then sent me to a surgeon and well within 3 weeks I had the colonoscopy and was in for surgery I recall it as it was Christmas eve day.I was stage 4 colon cancer >yes we are lucky to have been found as Quickly but my advise to everyone is to have colonoscopys regularily Thanks for putting this embarrasing subject out there I hope for your continued health

      I’m so glad they found it. I am going to assume you are doing well now. Thank you for sharing your symptoms. It is interesting how different they can be from person to person. The biggest lesson is, just like you said, if it is different, talk to your doctor. And get those regular colonoscopies! May God bless you and keep you healthy.
