Ok, I am 25, and today I go to the bathroom and noticed that my stool looked bright red. I thought maybe it's not blood. Maybe it just looks really red due to something I ate. The second time I went today, it was obviously blood. It was bright red and much more than the first time. It is not hemrriods or anything like that as there is no pain and I know what that feels like. I do know that I also get this pain on the left side of my abdoman and sometimes it moves to the right, but it is mostly in the left side. (Kind of right above my navel.) I had a scan on my gallbladder about a year ago to make sure I did not have gall stones. That was all clear, but the pain still comes and goes. This is the first time I have ever had blood in my stool before. It was also kind of loose and mucousy. It worried me bc my grandfather has colon cancer and there is also different types of cancer that runs in my family. I called the Dr. and they are gonna call me back to schedule an appointment. It didnt seemed like they cared or they were too worried about it. Am I being parranoid??
