I'd say you're really jumping the gun in even assuming something like that could be wrong. It's very unlikely. If you continue to have problems, see you're doctor. Chances are, it isn't anywhere near as serious as cancer.

It's possible. Most likely it is just digestive problems. Maybe an allergy.

I was once at a seminar on colon cancer , which was given by a cancer surgeon. Someone asked him " what was the youngest person he saw who had colon cancer. His reply? "19." He added, " while colon cancer in young people is quite uncommon, it is not entirely impossible."
