I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy in 1 week. I always had normal stools, then recently stopped Mounjaro and I took Doxycycline for an upper respiratory infection. Immediately like overnight 2 weeks ago I developed constipation. Now I have thinner stools ( flatter and this morning I had at the end a pencil shaped one- mix of flat with pencil shaped) I also have hemorrhoids so one day they were acting up. I decided to do a IFOBT which was positive I am so worried for colon cancer. I am 36 without hx of colon cancer or family hx ( grandpa had CRC but diagnosed at 86) I had a rectosigmoidoscopy at age 33.5 which was normal- didn’t find any polyps at all I am basically a wreck. Anyone else experienced these abnormal pencil shaped stools and what did ended up being?
