Stress, Fatigue, Stomach Pain, Bloody Mucus Stools, Dizziness, Loss Of Appetite. History Of Biological Grandmother Having Stomach Cancer. Serious?

Hi, My daughter is 21 yrs old. She has been under a lot of stress. She has been having symptoms such as: fatigue, stomach pain, some bloody mucus stools, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite. She is adopted and the only health information we had on the birth mother's was that the birth mother's mother had stomach cancer. Could this possibly be my daughter's problem.

Hi ! Did your daughter frequently have food from outside like fast and fried food ? This could have caused some stomach and intestinal infection resulting in the bloody mucus stools, nausea, and loss of appetite. The fast food from outside also may contain some ingredients in them to which she might be intolerant like gluten/lactose sensitivity. This can be known by trial and see after which kind of food she is getting these symptoms. I would suggest you to first go for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and then go to your family physician with the report. In case of infection, he may advise you for some specific antibiotic/antiamebic drugs which may cure your daughter's condition.

It is not necessary that the grand daughter will also develop stomach cancer specially at this age. But one has to be watchful also and in case the symptoms increase or persist, you can discuss out this with the treating doctor about some special investigations which may clear your concern.

I wish your daughter an early recovery.

as such there is no chances and the history suggests can be hyperacidity and intolerance or allergy to foods
it can be major food like milk wheat potato chana
get ultrasound abdomen to rule out mechanical blockage or gi organ involvement it will be normal
get blood serum tests for specific antibodies for milk weat potato chana
withdraw the food accordingto result and you can get benefit in few wk
any food can cause any problem at any age
