Still rather a direct visual over a blood test if I was worried. Maybe start with a scope to establish a baseline and use the test to monitor the in between.

We do not eat food.
We eat food substitute chemicals.

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.

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

True but I’m pretty sure genetics play an even larger role. If you have an immediate family member who had colon cancer, the overall risk doubles. And if you have UC or Crohn’s disease, the risk goes up even more.
Improved diet can help but it’s not the determining factor in whether or not someone gets colon cancer

Neighbor died of this. Not fat, no family history. Dead at 45 years old.

Get a genetic test.
I received a recessive gene mutation (MUTYH) from both parents. What happens is that the body’s natural mechanism to repair a mutated dna sequence (the start of a polyp) doesn’t exist with me. Therefore I make polyps by the boatload.

Have to wonder if today’s standard American diet of highly processed foods play a role in this.

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 abdominal pain
No change in shape or consistency of stool
GO. GET. CHECKED.
Colonoscopies save lives. If there's even a chance that polyps are causing the bleeding, you want to get them removed before they have a chance to turn into something serious.

All the refined vegetable oil is a big contributor. Crisco, Canola etc.

I’m 34 and just had a colonoscopy due to bleeding, fortunately nothing serious

My fiber target is 35 grams per day. Surprised my colon has anything in it at all, much less cancer.

What did they say was cause of blood?

Obviously diet is a big part of all of this and eating ultra processed food isn't good. I turned 40 in August and over the past few years I've been more conscious about what I eat. I made an effort to cut down on bagged food, lunch meat, and less booze. I eat a cereal that has a lot of fiber and that with a cup of coffee clears me out constantly.
I wonder if the huge increase with vaping in your people could be an issue. We know smoking tobacco can lead to an increase in colon cancer, could vaping do the same? I see so many young people hitting the vapes constantly. Older people don't really vape, and if you're seeing an increase in young people, what is the variable that changes everything?
Both groups eat badly, it's not like processed food just came around in the last ten years. TV dinners were all the rage starting in the 50's and fast food has been an American staple forever. So why are you seeing young people all of a sudden seeing this spike, it has to be something.

It's probably due to all of the "Flaming Hot" flavored shite they eat.
