A member asked:
I'm having constipation, could it be familial adenomatous polyposis and what are the other symptoms?

Constipation can : Occur without the familial adenomatosis. If you feel you are at risk for fap, you need to see a GI or colon and rectal surgeon and get a colonoscopy. Only then can your constipation be addressed properly.
