Question 5

Does gas x cause rashes? and i have a bubbly sound feeling in stomach with or without eating is this a sign of colon cancer?

Accepted Answer

I don't know what gas x is but exposure to something you are allergic to can certainly cause a rash.  As far as bubbling in your abdomen, its called peristalsis where the intestines contract and relax like an accordion to move stuff along. This is entirely normal. Nevertheless, you are almost 40 years old and due for your first colonoscopy to screen for colon CA. This is the only sure way to tell.

I hope you are wrong and there is no cancer but even if so, 3 weeks would not affect the outcome.  I know waiting can be hard but try to gather all your optimism during the waiting period. Again, i truly hope there is no cancer there.

Question 10

I've been having long sometimes smelly flatulence problems since yesterday and it won't go away. could this mean i have colon cancer? 19 year old/male

Accepted Answer

This might be a sign of a transient food intolerance, with such a short history.
Early stage of stomach flu/gastroenteritis can present like this.
If symptoms continue with diarrhea, blood in stools, poor appetite and severe colicky abdominal pain for more than a week, you need to have it assessed.
Family history of such illness is useful history.
