A member asked:
Is it possible for a 23 year old to have esophageal cancer? i think i have gerd, been having acid reflux. today my bowel movement was blackish and had a dark streak. had some squid the other day, worried

Likely related: Your stool changes are likely related to squid ingestion. Acid reflux will have to be addressed with your doc, in order to prevent long term damage. Esophageal cancer is not likely, but obviously cannot be ruled out given circumstances.
