Does colon cancer cause diarrhea?

I was reading about colon symptoms today and learned that alternating between constipation and diarrhea is a common sign. It is definitely something worth discussing with a gastroenterologist.

Great, as if dealing with random loose motions wasn't stressful enough, now we have to worry about this! Yes, it can cause diarrhea, so just get it checked and sleep peacefully.

At my age, any spicy food causes diarrhea! But yes, if you have chronic loose motions that don't stop with simple curd-rice, it could be a sign of colon issues.

Yes, sudden changes in stool consistency are a key symptom and should be evaluated by a doctor.

Yeah, my uncle had continuous watery stools for weeks before his diagnosis. Don't ignore persistent diarrhea thinking it's just a bad stomach day.
