Hi all,
i am 24 years old male, I have been to pakistan in nov-dec 2005, and during my stay there I suffered from a recurrent diarrhea for 3 times within a week, and for the last time, I had watery diarrhea for 7 times within 3 hours. I went to see er doctor in pakistan and she gave me ciproxin and it stopped the diarrhea on the next day but my stools became loose and yellowish with alot of undigested food and vegetables in it. After finished up the ciproxin, I went back to see the gi specialist in the same hospital and the dcotor checked on me, after listening to my symtoms, where by only yellowish stools with undigested food and mucous, he said I was having acute inflamation on my rectum due to bacteria infection even tho he did not run any stools test on me. So, he gave me a kind of probiotic, rabecid and colenticon. Things got improved where my stools were more brown but still abit loose sometimes, but this time, the mucous on the toilet paper had some visible blood stroll in it. I was freaked out. So I flew back to my country to see a local gi specialist, he checked on me, as usual due to my healthy look as I do not have any other kind of symtoms other than the problematic inconsistent bm, he said I was suffering from colon inflamation due to bacteria infection. He gave me flagyl, motilium, zentel and two tablets which I forgot name which only needed to take once for a week. Things got improved where my stools where more solid and not so loose, but still mucous was there on the toilet paper. On the fifth day of the medication week, I suffered from diarrhea again with bloody mucous after having two burgers on the previous day for lunch. I continued with the medication and the diarrhea subsided. I went back to see the doctor and he said I was improving and I do need to run endoscopy unless my diarrhea got worse but this time I told him about my stomach problem where I have alot of bloating after each meal, he gave me abox of klacid and motilium for a week and ask me to go back to see him after completed the medication. After taking the medication, my stools starting to formed better and more brownish, and the subsequent stools which were originally loose was getting more solid as well. But today, after I have taken the last pill of the medication, and the first bm in the morning, the first 2 stools were normal but the subsequent stools were abit loose again, and the toilet paper still has mucous with visible blood strolls in it. In the afternoon, I had another bm and the stools is abit yellowish with lotsa undigested vegetables, mucous but with no blood. I do not have any fever, dizziness, weakness and abdominal pain. But I do have inconsistent urge to toilet every morning, and my bm would be sometimes once for or twice everyday. My appetite is still good, I have been taking very clear non olily food for the past two week such as poriddge, steam cooked fish, steam cooked chicken, vegetables for lunch or dinner and noodles or bread for breakfast. I lost around 2kg after my trip to pakistan. I have somekind of uncomfortable feeling around my rectum and anus. I am really worried now because I have taken alot of medication and yet the problem still cannot be resolved. And it has really affected my work as I need to travel to 3rd world country frequently for projects. So, I 'd really appreciate if some one can give me some useful advices and opinions. Is it possible that I might have colon cancer?
