Altered bowels habits

Tina Brown

I am worrying about my bowels at the moment. I go about 6 times a day only to pass small soft amounts that are yellowy/brown in colour. I do pass a lot of wind too. I was on doxil and have just been switched to carboplatin/taxol. I am quite worried about a blockage but have had a CT scan, an x-ray and a ultra-sound and my doctor has not reported anything untoward.

My unusual bowel movements started before I went back on chemo & I wondered if the cancer cells be pressing on the large colon? Is there anyone out there that has experienced similar things?

Could it be your diet?
Have you been on a soft diet? (rice, toast, bananas, applesauce). That can cause those yellowish stools.
