[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 653204, member: 18516"] I'm glad you finally got a referral to a Gastro. Dr. It's probably not cancer as weight loss is usually a symptom. The fact that you are constipated can be what is causing all your pain and just feeling yucky. I had cancer (lymphoma) 20 years ago and had to have major surgery which involved taking many biopsies from throughout my guts. Between that and all the radiation I received my gut has never been the same. I suffer from constipation constantly and if I don't address it daily it's not fun. I make sure I take a good probiotic and use plain psyllium husk as it doesn't have the sugar that Metamucil does. I also drink Senna tea each evening and make sure I drink plenty of water at least 1/2 gal a day. Also, artificial sweeteners are really bad for your gut. You might want to try a vegetable laxative to help get things moving along. There are many things that can be out of whack in your gut that are not cancer. Hoping you get to feeling better soon. Let us know how it goes. Enjoy your days off. [/QUOTE]
