Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been told by my doctor that I have anaemia of which my father had all. Both he and myself allso have coeliac disease, of which we have had for 37-38years. My dad had cancer of the throat which he was cured by an operation but my mother died at the age of 40 from bowel cancer which spread to her liver. my Dr wanted to find out wether I am losing blood in my stools to cause my anaemia. My stools are most often like pebbles. I have now been booked in to hospital for a colarsectamy,.....could there possibly be a problem?
