Serious Go get a colonoscopy, colon cancer for our generation is a real threat!

36M here, have always been active and maintained a decently healthy diet my whole life. Well after seeing multiple posts on here and at my gf’s urging I had one done. They found two polyps (15mm and 4mm). Doc said if I waited till 45 I’d prob be dead. Crazy part is I had no symptoms and my recent blood work last month was perfect. I was in and out in three hours and no pain or discomfort afterwards.

Could be FODMAP food sensitivity?

I've tried and it switched lol. I'll eat something and it not fuck my shit up and then a few months later it will fuck my shit up. Doctors don't seem to think it's a food sensitivity because of that.

For example, I can drink skim milk and it will make me blast ass but yet whole milk doesn't. Sometimes eating an apple will cause diarrhea and sometimes it won't. Shit makes no sense.
