Well what made you go in to get checked?


Bright red blood when I wiped and sometimes in the bowl for a few days at a time, sometimes a pinch kinda feeling when I was pooping. It would happen for a few days and disappear for a few months, then rinse/repeat. Basically exactly what hemmeroids do.

I would see blood IN the poop very, very rarely, but towards the end I would see it more. I had this go on for nearly 5 years before getting checked and ended up with stage 1. They said if I waited another year it could have been a whole different story.

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.


I know 45 is now the recommended age. But I believe most doctors are not going to just willy nilly give you a preventative colonoscopy before that unless there is a serious reason to.

I was having some problems and got an endo and colonoscopy. they found a small polyp, nothing crazy, and removed it, and all else was clear. but with my endo, turns out I have barett's esophagus. thankfully they caught it early, and now that I'm on protonix every day my symptoms with heartburn are gone. doc said it's a bad thing to have because oftentimes people don't even have the symptoms I did (light, albeit steady acid reflux), because it's my lower esophagus. said your stomach acids basically cook your esophagus and oftentimes you don't know you've got cancer until it's too late.

one thing that helped more than any is eating carnivore, plus i rarely eat more than once a day. my bowel movements are hard and healthy and regular unless I divert from my diet and eat something with alot of carbs and/or sugar. anything processed, especially after dark, and i'm awake half the night on the toilet starting at exactly 3 am.

we early millennials/gen x'ers really did grow up eating shite for food. I remember coming up the people on the TV said don't dare eat eggs, ruminant meat, real butter, or cook with animal fats. use vegetable oil spread instead. pop a meal in the microwave; it's healthy because the package says low fat. don't cook with beef tallow, cook with seed oils, and have that processed poison from subway: it's healthy because it's got lettuce on it and it's a sandwich, not a burger, etc.

the fact that we are dying earlier across the board for the first time in a hundred years and young people's guts are ate up with cancer, and yet we're still going by the food pyramid that big food and their bitch boy the fda puts out, and nobody questions it, is madness. it's the definition of insanity.

there's no such thing as an essential carbohydrate or sugar. outside of high performance athletes, you can go the rest of your life without carbs, and nobody, I mean nobody, needs refined sugar to survive. you do however need sodium and protein or you'll die.

and I know this will get downvoted, but the average everyday american doesn't NEED 3 full meals a day, let alone snacks with it. in that case, our digestive system is the only one that never gets a break: it's churning up the trash poison that we put into it every day all day and when we sleep. we eat too much, and we eat poison, while they tell us to eat more of the same crap that's causing it.

This.

Most people don’t need to eat an actual “meal” until lunch.

Breakfast was maybe bread and butter or oatmeal in the past.

Not exactly a scientific reference. Just one person saying “a lot of them are not obese”.

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.


Well, eating like shite really has nothing to do with weight really.

You can "lose" weight eating a diet of only donuts, or skittles, or steak. A calorie is a calorie from the standpoint of your body burns X each day. However, its obvious the human body processes 1,000 calories of candy differently than 1,000 calories of chicken.

So, you can eat like shite and not be a fatass...

I am not speaking from a position that I am some perfect specimen, but I had bad gut issues about 7 years ago. This forced me to look at many medical tests which in the end resulted in just a bad diet even though I was in good “shape”. Now I stick to mostly eggs, rice, meat, fruit and veggies. Less than 5% of what I eat has any added processed chems and I have even switched to sourcing my meat from ranchers and having it butchered. Its actually cheaper, but associated with an upfront cost. I also dont drink.

I used to eat lunch and then dinner. And I caught a type of colon cancer. It’s under control now but that’s after 19 operations and finally an ostomy. It started when I was 55 but I have always felt at least ten years younger than I was.. I think the sunflower seeds I ate like every day was a part of the cause….

Be careful with the Metamucil. It can make problems worse if you aren’t drinking a lot of water. Says so on the box.

I thought I was dying until I quit taking it and my problems went away.

Especially in those who keep volunteering for social experiment injections. Third world countries don’t have this issue.

*Something* is cause cancers in ALL demographics, in ALL parts of the human body in recent years - especially troubling -- prematurely in younger people.

Invisible Bio Particulate. Chemicals. Heavy Metals. Franken-Foods. Meds. GMOs. Dirty Electro-Magnetic Frequencies. Vaxxes. Sky-Spraying.

Coincidental and nothing-to-see here?? Or possible direct Cause & Effect? (*By-Design*?)

Naah.

Any change in bowel movement pattern that persists beyond expected is justification for doing one. I was hesitant to jump on the bandwagon. But I’ve seen more and more “young” cases and advanced polyps at young ages. I’ve cut polyps out of folks in their early 30s that would have certainly been cancer at 50 (the recommendation at the time I did the procedure, though it’s now 45). I also had one in their 30s that I sent elsewhere to have a colonoscopy that wound up having cancer. One of my med school classmates who is extremely fit and health conscious developed colorectal cancer in her 30s (and appears to be doing well from the Facebook updates I see).



There are a handful of things. Diet is high on the list. There’s a study linking charcuterie consumption and colon CA rates in the French population. Charcuterie isn’t far off from one of the favorite foods of Acadiana- smoked sausage. A processed, often cured, and smoked red meat (though the stuff around Acadiana blows the French junk out of the water). Here is a map of “hot spots” for colon CA around the USA:






Of the identifiable risk factors, red meat consumption, cigarette use, obesity, sedentary lifestyle (sort of difficult to separate from the last one).
Here is one of several studies that discusses colorectal cancer rates among immigrants (in Canada in this one). Most will show low rates of colon CA in first gen/off boat immigrants from Asia. Their children tend to get colon cancer at roughly the rates of the ‘host’ country (this one discusses their low rate diminishing over time. On mobile, somewhat lazy, but I feel like that bolsters the claim that environment, in particular diet, has a lot to do with colon cancer rates rather than reading through and finding the ones out there that show that a bit more clearly than this one).



If there’s anything you take from this, if you grew up in Louisiana, particularly South LA, you should take any bleeding, any change in your normal habits (again, if you get sick and have diarrhea for a week, you get a week or two to be normal. If you’re constipated after eating a pound of cheese, you’re normal. But if you went once a day and now go once a week for no reason, that’s a problem) seriously and see a doctor about it. The vast majority of these WON’T have polyps or cancer, and the procedure DOES carry risk, but the risk is there, and screening is pretty effective at prevention.

Laptop computers.

Laptops receive a wireless Internet signal that projects small amounts of radiation toward the abdomen in the process. Over time, radiation exposure is very well documented as causing cancer.

Also, restricted blood vessels have been known to cause cancer (for example, women who wear bras have a much higher breast cancer rate than women who don't wear bras). As far as laptops go, some heavier laptops weigh enough that they can cut a little bit of circulation on the abdomen temporarily. Not a big deal short term, but longer term use can obviously build up.
