Such symptoms do not suggest -- do not even hint -- of cancer.

Postprandial or following meals bloating is a common and non specific symptom that is not even related to pathology many times, but rather to quality, quantity and mechanics of food ingested. If you have reason to believe that colon cancer may be at the root, maybe based on family history, by all means talk to your doc about your worries. Otherwise colon cancer appears less likely.
