Hi, so I'm a 14 year old girl who is terrified they have bowel cancer, I'm quite healthy you could say, I guess, although I don't do much exercise, but I mean here is the problem; When I walk after eating food, I get a kind of stitch where my stomach is located I guess on the left side higher part of the abdomen, usually on the way to school after eating jam on toast, but it doesn't stay for very long - i'd say for about five seconds and then it goes, but this has been happening for 5-6 weeks now and I'm starting to get concerned. Yesterday, I was pretty gaseous too, but it was the time I started worrying about it so it could have been that. I should probable mention I have a lot of issues with diagnosing myself with all sorts of cancers, in the past three months, I had mistaken myself with leukemia, ovarian cancer and stomach cancer. I'm very health conscious and hypochondriac I guess you could say as I also have OCD, which I had CBT and counselling for which didn't help really just made it worse. But I was thinking maybe it was because I have been eating quickly or because I might be on the cusp of a growth spurt, but either way I've been in fits of worry, panicking myself for this past week, I was just asking if you think this is anything to worry about?
