I was having semi solid to mushy stools which looked greenish brown since a month. Since 3 days I have started taking psyllium husk powder after dinner and now my stools are better but they look like rubber or a jelly like substance. Half of my stool has a very dark colour. Why is all this happening. I don't have any family history of cancer. I have never smoked or drink but I am scared that what if its colorectal cancer. I am a 20 year old female and how common is cancer in my age.

It is not cancer. First of all, you stop taking psyllium husk powder. Its stomach infection 1.take home-cooked, fresh light food. 2. Drink boiled water. 3. Take ors.4. Avoid fast foods, spicy and fried foods 5. Curd is good for you. If you are so much scared you can go for colonoscopy or ct scan or MRI for details you can consult me.
