hello, i am a 16 year old boy when i go to the toliet, my poop is a dark brown colour and I can see patches of like orange in it, is this blood in the stool? I am asking this question because I am worried that i might have stomach cancer?
Alexander - If I were you, you're first place to go ask someone is your parents, not the internet. Your parents would probably find a doctor for you, which is much more helpful than some anonymous answers.
Airmax - 1. it could be dehydration in your dark brown colour poo 2. it could be your body didnt digest things. or you ate alot of oily or things that were orange 3. waiit for like 2-3 days and see what happens then go to your docs i thought i had all the cancers in the book once k not all but alot
G'hound - No. If you had a bleed high up in your GI tract (where the stomach is) the poop would be very black and tarry. The orange could be undigested veggies or fatty material. Maybe your digestive enzymes from the Pancreas are not right as a result of eating too much fatty and greasy food? If you eat TV dinners read the pack and don't chose ones with more than 10g fat per 100g of food. Avoid batter and pastry for a while too. Ask your doctor for tests including Gall bladder.
Julia - very unusual to get bowel cancer at your age. blood in the stools is usually obvious red or black and tarry and very offensive. this is probably something you are eating. try eating 3-4 pieces of fruit and 4-6 veg every day, high fibre bread and cereals and 6-8 glasses of water. build up to the fruit and veg over a week or two if you don't usually eat much or you will get stomach cramps x
