Am I dying? Help me?

[Anonymous]

So my bowl movements are out of control. Lately I've been pooping every three days but then I poop everyday. Its odd. After I ate grapes tonight, I went to the bathroom and took a poop. My poop is now mixed colors but mostly its light brown. So when I flushed the toilet, I saw bright red dots in it. My poop isn't long through. I've been having salads lately, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, croutons, bacon bites with ranch. I'm scared now. My stomach won't stop making noises. Im so scared to get a endoscopy and a colonscopy if I get need one but I'm so scared to do it. I don't want them to be painful... and I heard you are awake :( I don't wanna have colon cancer! I'm only 16. When I was little, my poop used to be big and long! Its always clog the toilet. I'm scared tht I'm dying soon. it's been over a year since my problems started! When I had depression, I tried to overdose myself with prozac. And my poop is green and a mixture of colors now.

talk to a GI.
it's less scary than you think.
And a colonoscopy isn't scary. I've had..., well, I've had a lot. Three this year. Prep (which is just not eating for a day and drinking a gallon of laxative mixed with Gatorade) is much worse than the procedure.
There are a dozen problems it could be, without being silly and guessing cancer, and most of them are very treatable.

thats normal from eating healthy your body is using the nutrients from the healthy foods, so not much is going to be wasted out the other end, but its still better to see a doctor to be safe, and never ever overdose. cause thats stupid.

[Asker]

I thought poop are supposed to be big and long.

[Opinion Owner]

not always, that only happens if you eat a lot of junk food your body doesn't process plus eating too much dairy foods does that too, i dont think you need to worry, and do you eat things with small seeds, those red dots could be that.

[Asker]

Tomatoes maybe?

[Opinion Owner]

yup, definitely that.

[HousePanda]

I get your fear, but GAG isn't the place to ask this question. GO SEE A DOCTOR Endoscopy/Colonoscopy are not a big deal, you are knocked out cold and most of the time won't remember anything about the procedure. But you probably don't even need those, as it sounds like its what you're eating.

[Asker]

Well Im scared to see a doctor because she's prob gunna tell me I have to take thek and they literally scares me to death

[HousePanda]

I have terrible medical related anxiety (think hyperventilating panic over flu shots and convincing myself i have cancer) but those tests are nothing, and if you truly think something is wrong finding out early would be a lot better than letting it go and potentially becoming serious is not worth the fear over a quick and painless test. They would most likely do blood work, and an upper GI scan (its literally an X-ray while they position you, you stand and sit, nothing internal and painless) and go from there. You're young and seem healthy, chances are they'd say its your diet. You should really see a doctor if you're that worried.
I was convinced a wart on my foot was cancer for so long that one day i broke down and showed my mom and she just laughed and put freeze away on it. Your fear is irrational.

Probably just an upset GI track. Take it easy on the food. Eat non inflamatory foods and eat slowly and consistently. As far as the blood it's probaby just an anal fissure, you'll fine. Quit freaking out before it effects your body

[Asker]

What type of foods?

[KittieCat]

For now I'd restrict on grease, processed foods, dairy, and anything else that pisses your body off

[Asker]

Well my mom doesn't cook and I don't know how to cook good. We usually snack on stuff. And for the past two days I've been eating salads and fruits

[Asker]

With corn pops n milk

[KittieCat]

Learn how to cook, stop eating the corn pops w/ milk. Is there anything inflammatory in your salads?

[Asker]

cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, ranch dressing, croutons, and bacon bites

[KittieCat]

I'd avoid everything but the veggies.. I don't know your body but it's a safe start

[Asker]

But it won't be tasty

[KittieCat]

Do you want your body healed?

[Asker]

I do. And I'm trying to work out

[Asker]

I'm 196 lbs and I'm 5'9

[KittieCat]

Might not wanna work out heavily with an upset body.. wait till you're healed

[reptocarl]

First stop worrying. It's what you're eating. Second colonoscopies don't hurt. I've had two wide awake and like watching it on the screen as the do it

[Asker]

Can they put you to sleep during them? And my mom doesn't cook. I don't know how to cook well

[reptocarl]

They sometimes sedate you and there's nothing wrong with you

[Asker]

Well if I ever need them, I hope tht happens. I have a bad gag reflex

[SavageMaster]

It might be IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) causing bowel problem... and Minor Gastritis (Inflammation in the inner lining of stomach) causing this. Don't worry you're not dying. Just consult a doctor and get endoscope.

[StarryNights]

Lol! I tried and failed not to laugh. You think you're dying because you have rainbow poop?

[Asker]

Its supposed to be brown. Not black, yellow, red, green, etc. And if you see blood in your poop then something is wrong. you don't know my body

[StarryNights]

Oh, wait, I'm sorry you saw BLOOD? I missed that part. Not a laughing matter. Feeling a little tipsy from wine and read your post differently from the way sober me would. Can you call someone who will take you to Urgent Care?

[StarryNights]

If you are really concerned and don't feel well even off the toilet, then make that trip or even go to an emergency room just so they can check you out and make sure it's not something serious.

[StarryNights]

That was really tacky of me. I'm sorry. I hope you're okay.

[slatyb]

you are probably fine but FFS go see a doctor.

[Anonymous]

Calm down and talk to your parents.

[Asker]

I don't have a dad but my mom seems like she doesn't really care

[Opinion Owner]

No harm in speaking to her about it still

[Asker]

I already have

[Opinion Owner]

Then I would suggest just going to the doctor or the hospital

[SnatchFinderGeneral]

What... the... fuck...
