A member asked:
My stomach keeps gurgling and feels uncomfortable at times, causing pain on and off. could it be bowel cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: This problem is common and very rarely due to cancer. The primary care physician needs to review lifestyle habits and diet, and may suggest changes or even a medication trial. Should these fail, the next step is to see a GI doctor who may decide to scope the stomach.
