Type 6 Stool Bristol Chart lately....Help please
Good morning, last couple days been having some issues with IBS. Once I have breakfast in morning with a cup of black coffee no sugar it helps me go to the WC, Last couple days been having like gases and urges me to go one again and I discovered stool Type 6 Bristol scale. Not black, no blood either, but, it scares the hell out of me since I am diagnosed with PTSD and Anxiety and Hipocondriac so I am thinking this could easily be Colon Can***. This makes me go into a panic attack. I would appreciate some tips suggestions. I´ve had a Colonoscopy done back in 2013 with 2 biopsis. Also I am intolerant to Lactose. i am living in constantly fear and it´s driving me insane...feel tired exhausted in my mind.
Anxiety is exhausting and draining for sure. To be in a heightened state all the time has to be awful, and living like that can and well give you or exacerbate PTSD. I wish there was something we could say so you could know one way or the other but, unfortunately, bodies just don't work like that. 😔 The best bet is to head to an oncologist and just dive in and get the tests done. When I had a cancer that affected my bowel I certianly did have blood in the stool, and even then I ignored it for far too long. I have felt that anxiety like you, especially surrounding my heart and after the heart attack, and sometimes all that quelled it was going to the ER and getting the tests done. Eventually it subsided but I also have meds for when it gets really bad! You are not alone for sure. Keep on keepin' on, DPM
