I have been experiencing digestive issues for the past 5 months, including constant nausea, diarrhea (3-5 times a day), excessive bloating, and a sudden 20-pound weight gain without changes in diet or exercise. My mother had colon and cervical cancer at a young age, and I have also had issues with dark red to almost black blood.
