Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for hooking "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
You are having less fibers in your diet.Pellet like stools or small pieces of stools are suggestive of this.Due to this stools are unable to evacuate properly.This leads to development of colonies of bad bacteria's yeast and fungus causing lots of gas formation.
One bowl of sauted veggies in morning
One bowl of fruits in evening.
Take isabghul husk 10 mg thrice daily.
Take Probiotic VSL#3 twice daily.
Eat light vegetarian home made food for 2 week.
Take tablet activated charcoal tablet sos for gas.
You would be perfectly fine in 21 days.
Stomach cancer presents with aggressive symptoms which may include severe gastritis not controlled by medicines severe pain.
lastly golden rule of medicine is first rule out common things then move to higher diagnosis.
follow what I said for 10 days and revert back.
However in case you are panicked and wants to be 100% sure go for an endoscopy to calm down your mind.
Hope I was helpful,
