bright red blood instead of dark blood is a good sign I've read.
I was always told the bright blood is just from some form of inflammation closer to the skin, but darker blood is from internal issues. I'm not a doctor and this is not legal advice, but if I had multiple days in a row of light blood in my stool I'd be concerned, even though it is the "good" color.

Very true, but the article mentions a lot of people being diagnosed aren't fatties. It's gotta be something environmental. I'd put money on plastics, but I'm not a scientist.
I also hold the view that we have no idea what “overweight” is nowadays, especially if you just go by how someone looks.
We believe overweight is normal, but that is a different topic.
This phenomenon is definitely multi-factorial. Environmental via intake of destructive substances, such as referenced plastics, among others, and just general unhealthy activity.
In the year 2024, with the information we have available, it is absolutely insane how unhealthy our society is.

In VERY simple terms, bright red is “closer” to the exit.

Agreed. Early detection is key.
I had bleeding in my stool in my early 30s due to hemorrhoids/anal fissures. My Gastro doctors suggested a colonoscopy just to rule out any other underlying issues. Fortunately, that was not the case but he did find 2 pre-cancerous polyps that he removed. He said if I would have come in at 45 years old for my first one like typically recommended, it probably would not have been good. There is no history of colon cancer in my family.
My cousin is a Gastro doctor also and she is seeing more cases in younger adults and they are now suggesting your first colonoscopy earlier now.

Since birth, a steady diet of Hot Pockets, Totino’s Pizza Rolls and Taco Bell will do that to you.

Bringing up how obesity is one of the biggest issues in our society is considered taboo.

Doctors do not know why cancer, especially colorectal cancer, is becoming more common in younger adults. Some hypothesize that increasing obesity rates, sedentary behavior and unhealthy diets could be playing roles.

Not so much blood in the stool, but bright red blood upon wiping. When the hemmys are bad for me it's a sharp pain right before stool exits. Blood not an everyday occurrence
No unexplained weight loss
No abdominal pain
No change in shape or consistency of stool

I don’t believe you.
Height? Weight? Body fat %?
And do you practice resistance training and aerobic conditioning?

Kinda like how there is currently a huge movement to address all of the problems with it, right?
Or is that the body positivity movement? I get them mixed up sometimes. They are so very similar.
One statement does not a discussion make, but what does a fish know.

Turns out microplastics aren’t a good substitute for fiber in your diet.

High fat, smoked/BBQ meat, processed foods, cooking food in plastic bags (Sous Vide) ... Shocking

Have increased fiber a lot. Will try the posture thing. I started a new job in 2022 that has me sitting a lot more than I used to and the hemmys have become more prolific. Theyre internal too which makes me more worried...not to ruin the lunch hour but bright red blood instead of dark blood is a good sign I've read.
Probably still gonna get in to a procto soon.
Also, want to make it clear...I'm not a fatty.
Someone on here once suggested rutin (rutin is contained within red apple skin) capsules. Take a few if you're suffering from issues of hemorrhoids..
Ultimately it seems like an issue of circulation.
Good blood pressure + un-kinked body really helps everything line up and flow properly.
If you do glute bridges daily you'll notice your poop shape get a lot better. Stretch your psoas and like I said plenty of water.
The shape and style of your poop really indicates your diet and digestion.
Evaluating the simple non-pharm things you can do is always the best first step because there's no risk involved.
Even your bladder function can be effected by your core muscles if they're unbalanced and tight. I've experienced it.

I'll preface this by saying I know the OT and message board users in general are renown for being honest with heights and weights.
I am a legitimate 6'4 200 pounds. Not sure on body fat percentage.
I do resistance training twice a week. I do zero aerobic exercise. Skinny-fat adjacent.

My god, Salmon. That was in reference to it not getting properly addressed and it is taboo to discuss the topic on a wider scale. Our society actively avoids having tough discussions about such a detrimental topic.
But you know that, or at least I hope you do, because otherwise…oof.
And even doctors have started avoiding the topic because they will be sent to HR, lose patients, or face other issues.

Thanks to a genetic issue, I have to get scoped on an annual basis. I produce polyps at an abnormal rate. Just get them burned off each time. Other option is to remove the colon and I don’t feel like crapping 6 times a day going that route. I’ll get the annual 10 diminutive polyps removed.

Time to invest in the company that makes Colo-Guard.
Numerous companies are working on blood tests to replace colonoscopies. Some are in phase 2 and 3 trials now. In 5-10 years, you will be able to be screened for colon cancer with a simple lab draw.

I’ll have to do the same thing to keep on top of it.
