First of all just because you at at high risk Does Not mean that you are going to get cancer and it certainly doesn't mean that you are going to die of cancer. Stop panicking.You are way farther ahead than most people because now you will monitor this situation closely. This actually helps you prevent yourself from getting cancer. What you need to work on now is getting stools to pass regularly.There are lots of things you can try.Power pudding.I highly recommend this.Take 2 tablespoons of dry oatmeal and mix it with 2 tablespoons of prune juice and then mix in two tablespoons of applesauce(any flavor). Now eat this every single night around bedtime. Also go out and buy yourself Miralax.Between the two you will start to get regular again and that alone will help prevent cancer(along with your regular colonoscopy's.) Best of Luck!I hope this helps to ease your mind.

You need to see an internist and have a colonoscopy to check for any polyps and/or disease process.It also wouldn't hurt to see a nutritionist so you can be instructed on what to eat to get you more regular.Good luck...

First of all...take a deep breath. Just because you have a high risk of getting colon cancer doesn't actually mean you will end up getting it.If you don't already see a gastroenterologist, now would be a good time to get established with one. A gastrointestinal physician will have the most recent information on how to treat mega colon.In the meantime, start taking Metamucil to bulk up your stools and colace to soften them up making it easier for you to go to the bathroom. For any emergencies, your doctor may recommend using a small Fleets enema to help jump start your GI tract (which will avoid an embarrassing ED visit)Stop thinking that your going to die. You have a long life ahead of you if you follow your physician's recommendations. Good luck.
