Symptoms

Having diarrhea or constipation
Feeling that your bowel does not empty completely
Finding blood (either bright red or very dark) in your stool
Finding your stools are narrower than usual
Frequently having gas pains or cramps, or feeling full or bloated
Losing weight with no known reason
Feeling very tired all the time
Having nausea or vomiting Partly digested food enters the colon from the small intestine. The colon removes water and nutrients from the food and turns the rest into waste (stool).
