Family history: Unless you have family history colon cancer occurring at a very young age, you are unlike to have colon cancer. Increase you intake of fiber and water. You may take metamucil and drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. You may increase your intake of fiber foods https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
