Feeling Gassy or Bloated
Feeling gassy or bloated is by no means an uncommon experience. The main cause of gassiness and bloating is irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, which is the inability to break down certain types of food. However, both can also indicate that someone might have colon cancer. Cancerous tumors within the lower intestine impede food waste and as this waste builds up it can lead to feelings of gassiness, bloating and discomfort. If this is something you can relate to then ask your doctor to set up testing for colon cancer.
