I read about colon cancer the other day and it said one of the signs are 'thin stool's. For some reason, my mind went back to one particular day when I noticed a movement with extremely thin stools. It kind of looked like 'long worms'. I remember noticing this as odd at the time, but did not give it much thought. Now I am freaking out about it. I haven't really noticed having this again, although I might have, and just never paid attention. Apart from that, I have no other symptom that would indicate possible colon cancer (no anemia, no blood, no weight loss etc). I am only 24 years old, and of course I probably don't get enough fiber in my diet. Plus at the time I was under enormous stress. Could there be causes such as this that would cause an instance of 'skinny stools'. Please help, any ifo would greatly help.
Thank you.
