29 yo.3 months after having baby stools changed, narrower and more frequent.been 3 years, still narrow and ribbonlike,frequent,soft.worried re cancer?

Narrow stools.: Consistently narrow stools imply rectal narrowing. It could be that you have an apple core lesion of the lower GI tract. Also consider very late onset Hirschsprüng's disease or some in lower GI intestinal blockage. You should see a really good GI doc soon and get a good thorough workup and treatment plan. Good luck.
