Hi guys, I know it might sound stupid but in a sense in this forum everyone sooner or later we look stupid ...
My fear is colon cancer. I suffer from irritable colon and to avoid anxiety for no reason, I avoid eating tomato because I always check my stool. Yesterday I ate pasta with tomato sauce and for lunch fresh tomatoes. Today in the stool (inside) I noticed red marks. I tried to analyze a part of it, and it looked similar to the sauce, but who knows, it could be blood. My rational part tells me that it would be an exaggerated coincidence that I started bleeding right after eating tomatoes, but my irrational part pushes me to write here. Has this ever happened to you? What do you think? Thank you
