My story, and I can only emphasise what he says in the video. If it ain't normal, get it checked out.

Last November had my annual COPD lung scan in a mobile scanner parked up at Lidls. A couple days later , receive a phone call, we want to another scan. Quickly followed by an an appointment with a lung specialist. During the course of the questions and answers, he asked if I had any other medical problems. Yes, I think I have irritable bowel syndrome. What makes you think that? My pooh isnt quite the same. His ears prick up at this.
Get home and within a couple of hours a knock on the door. The full package, instructions, potion to mix up and take 24 hours befoe a colonoscopy.
Bottom line. Two months to the day from Lidl car park I am told I have inoperable, incurable bowel and lung cancer. My general health would not tolerate surgery, nor any aggressive interventions. Palliative care only.

If you are fit and seemingly healthy, and something just ain't right. Get to a doctor

Obviously we have spoken about your condition previously during a private message but don't you think that in most cases,and by the time a G.P finally decides he's seen and heard enough of you and refers you to the appropriate department,in many cases it's too late?

That aside,I hope you are having a 'good day' if that makes sense.

That puts everything else in perspective, stay strong and never give up.

Good advice too.
