Can Frequent Flatulence After A Change In Diet Be A Sign Of Stomach Cancer?

My diet changed a year ago after I was made redundant (not eating as well as I did as I have very little income) and for the past three weeks I have been farting a lot. Is this a sign of bowel cancer? My mother died from it 30 years ago so I am wary of it

Instead of worrying about the flatulence , you need to be worried about the family history. It is essential you enroll in a screening program immediately as you are a high risk candidate.

Flatulence can be a very unspecific symptom, unless you have abdominal pains with cramping, mass or lump feeling in your abdomen , bleeding while passing stools.
Change your diet habit slowly identifying the causative food.
