when eating chinese food on random occasions, i go through abnormal and possibly benign symptoms.. it does not happen all the time but on random occasions but more noticeably when the food tastes bad.. i do watch my diet very carefully and most of the time the food eaten at the same chinese restaurant has been good.. but just last weekend when the food was bad, i noticed the following symptoms;

1. the following morning and sometimes an hour or two after eating, one
of my balls (testicles) gets numb with an uncomfortable tingly sensation

2. difficult bowel movements and more frequent

3. ever since reading up on how to self-check for possible colon cancer by the finger during shower test, ive noticed a swelling or bulge in the front wall.. (this is my main concern)

so could this be a possible case of food poisoning or contamination? this restaurant is a 4 star and most of the time the food is good but like i said previously on random occasions the food can taste awful followed by the above symptoms.. the symptom of swelling in the colon usually goes away when i start jogging and maintain a strict diet.. so based on that, i plan on starting a daily jogging routine next week so am assuming most likely these symptoms will subside as they did before..

just would like to know if anyone else has ever had those symptoms?

Hi One,

I am just wondering if the food tasting bad in and of itself is not a symptom.

Yes, the thickening of the front wall of your colon is a concern... even more than all the others. Talk with your medical team about all of this ASAP.

Good luck

One,
Concur with Jim, you need to have a medical evaluation to determine if this is something serious. Good luck.
