davide.h 26 Posted August 23, 2022 I just read online that incidence of pancreatic cancer rise between ages 35 and 39, the age range I'm currently in. That worries me a lot. I didn't know it happened this early. Should I speak to my doctor about this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davide.h 26 Posted September 1, 2022 Now I'm really scared because of my light colored stool! I hope this doesn't mean I'm sick! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, when the body processed waste - it begins as dark green! Then, through chemical changes in the body, it turns tan/beige, and then the dark brown that we all know and love. It can be other colors depending on foods and dyes. Grape Kool-Aid can turn my poo green as can blue food coloring! Pepto Bismol (Bismuth) can turn it black! If your poo is beige, it just means it didn't have as much time to process as normal. It's not a big deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urine color tells you hydration. It is supposed to be slightly yellow, like weak lemonade. The darker the yellow, the more dehydrated you are - the kidneys are processing available water. It can also lead to constipation if there isn't enough water to get things moving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many days ago. It takes time for Pepto Bismol to go through - at least a day to even start seeing dark poo. If you have not had a lot of bowel movements, you would still be seeing dark poo under your body clears it out. It's not a permanent condition by any means.

There will be times when stress and things might leave you vulnerable to panic/anxiety flareups. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
