I am 76 and have an appointment to see a surgeon for what my GP called lipomas in my tummy, however I have bowel changes in appearance, not any bleeding, pencil shaped stools or loose when I have spent my life having to take tablets to relieve constipation now I don't. My belly is bloated. I can feel lumps and get cramps in my tummy too not colic but cramp as in the leg, I do not jump to conclusions and read about things and have got them all I just would like to have your opinion.
