Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Unlikely colon cancer as typically not that painful after eating and your age is a bit young. My hunch is you are on a medication for heartburn, maybe it is not working anymore…, you are also on metformin which can cause abdominal complaints….  Talk to your doctor, there are some tests he/she can do and send you to a gastroenterologist if no answer from labs/ultrasounds.

Yes, but...: Colon cancer can very rarely cause obstruction of the duct draining the gall bladder(cystic duct)  or liver(common bile duct) by growing directly into these structures and causing an obstruction.  This can lead to cholecystitis just like that caused when the obstruction is caused by a gall stone.  It is a more serious situation but i believe that I have seen it only once in my 36 year career!
