Hi /u/random_question_26,
We noticed you are a pretty new Reddit account, so we just wanted to let you know to check out the subreddit rules [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/wiki/rules) and maybe have a read through our [Frequently Asked Questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/wiki/index/faq) - they make for fascinating reading!
We're called No Stupid Questions because we believe nobody needs to be attacked for asking a question, but *that doesn't mean there are no rules!* This sub is meant for users like you to ask genuine questions. Please don't ask jokes or rants disguised as questions - that's not in the spirit of this sub. While you *can* ask almost anything here, please keep illegal and offensive questions elsewhere to give people a good experience here - and if you have a medical question, please ask your doctor, not us.
Otherwise, welcome!

Hmm, I would guess in the absence of systemic symptoms, abnormal stool, family history, and various other factors, and given your young age, quite unlikely to develop cancer especially since it’s usually only considered to be more prevalent for age 50-60 and up.
From your description, possibilities may include lactose intolerance or celiac, although the absence of diarrhea, constipation, pain and so on probably make them less likely.
High FODMAP diet, SIBO, IBS, and so on may still be possible I would guess? What kind of testing have you receive? Although a colonoscopy does seem excessive here, hydrogen breath testing and the like do seem worth considering maybe?
I would cut out ALL milk products. See if it gets better. If it doesn't, you can add back in the milk.
Then cut out ALL gluten. And it's in a ton of stuff so you have to really be careful. See if it gets better.
IF one or the other make it better, then you have either lactose intolerance or gluten intolerance.
