How can dietary changes ease IBS symptoms?
IBS patients often experience a sour stomach, leading to symptoms like bloating, cramps, and changes in bowel habits. Certain foods can worsen these symptoms, such as dairy, spicy foods, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners. Eating small meals, drinking enough water, and avoiding trigger foods can help. Fiber-rich foods and probiotics may also be beneficial. Since everyone is different, keep a food diary to track what works best for you.

Why do I have inflammation and burning near anus?
An anal fissure means there's a tear near your anus. It happens when you have hard, difficult bowel movements. Or it can occur with diarrhea. This will cause pain and burning when you use the bathroom. Eating foods with fiber helps make your stool softer and easier to pass. Drinking lots of water is good too. Warm baths can soothe the irritated area around your anus. If symptoms don't improve soon, see your gastroenterologist.

This kind of pain can be a result of constipation, air in the bowels, or even a muscle strain.

Could I have colon cancer at 22 with these symptoms?
It seems you're worried about your health, especially colon cancer. Having that cancer at 22 is rare. Your arm weight loss could be from anxiety causing muscle loss. Seeing a therapist is good, but talking to your doctor about your worries may help reassure you. Take slow, deep breaths and try relaxation methods to ease anxiety.
