A member asked:
I still have a lack of appetite at 22 should i consider the chance of gastric or colon cancer?

No : Unless you have a strong family history of early stomach or colon cancer, please do not worry about it. Get exercise every day, as vigorous, as you can tolerate.

Lack of hunger: Loss of appetite can occur from a number of diverse causes. Since it is noticeable to you and concerns you, it is important to talk about this with your primary care doctor, who can discuss your symptoms, examine you, and work out a follow up plan. Stomach and colon cancer are rare at your age, but a thorough discussion of your onset of symptoms and family history would help. See your doctor.
