Pale & Thin Stools - Bowel Disorders Message Board

I am a male in my 30’s.
I got Hemorrhoids many years ago and pending diet would occasionally get bleeding. Over the years I also noticed sometime certain foods like peas and olives would not get digested and pass through my system undigested. Still though I brushed this all aside and then last year my stools got thinner and pale, one time almost completely colorless.

I was really worried at that point but eventually it went away and I figured it was changes in my diet or stress that had caused it as I was trying to lose weight. Then this past year it started again, but this time it hasn’t gone away.
Occasionally my stools are more normal in size but those times I find it is quite painful due to my hemorrhoids.

Could these symptoms be from stress? Or could it be something cancer related? My grandmother died of Colon Cancer so I am worried about that. If it was cancer though, wouldn’t it have caused serious problems since I first noticed these systems over a year ago?

Thanks to anyone who can help give insight about this.

Have you ever considered doing a cleansing program? Due to your family history I would definately see a doctor just to ease your stress about the cancer.
I suffered with hemorrhoids and irregular bowel movements until I used DrNatura's "colonix" system 8 years ago. It eased my hemorrhoids and it definately helped me become regular. I continue to cleanse each year to keep my system in top working condition. Let us know how you are doing.

when you use that cleansing program how long do you use if for for the first time?you say you use it once a year does that mean you use use it once or a few times?does it help people who get diarrhea or just constipation?did you get anything out of you like on there web site?

I agree that you need to see a doctor and tell them about your digestive and stool issues!

thanks for the input... I am going to try and clean up my diet, increase my level of exercise and see if it makes a difference... if not, then I will go into the doctor.
