Some people just don't know until its way too late. Its a general rule to see a doctor in your 40's- 60's . If you have a family history of Irritable bowels/ stomach problems talk to a doctor about it .
Keep a healthy diet and steer away from red meat. Get a colonoscopy every 5- 10 years. Keep your colon clean.
