A member asked:

I have had very loose stools for 2 weeks with right abdo discomfort. off my food. bloods ok, stool results normal. scan nxt wk. advice? cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get scan - see doc.: Lots of things can cause this. Cancer does not jump to the top of my mind especially if there was no blood in your stool. One must certainly consider many other things. I suspect your doc is on top of this. I assume that your stool was checked for all the right things...... Endoscopy may be in your future.
