A member asked:
I have gas. i'm also 19, if this will affect anything, could i have colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: it you are 19 and have gas, it is not a typical symptom of cancer. you are unlikely to have colon cancer unless you have strong family history or other alarm features (blood per rectum, weight loss, anemia, etc)
