There is very little good food left to eat. It has finally begun to affect me the same in last 2 months. Hubby has had his share of gastro intestinal troubles also. I have a 16 yr old niece with all the same symptoms. The doctors who saw my husband have no answers as they do not believe that it is related to our food and water being slowly poisoned and slowly poisoning first the people who may be most susceptible. I don't think the entire US population is going to understand this until it is too late. Do the best you can to see what you might be allergic to. We shouldnt be allergic to foods but a lot of people who never had allergies before, I have found now have them, even my own grown kids. One is lactose intolerant and the other both gluten and lactose intolerant.
I would see a naturopath or ayurvedic trained Dr. if I could afford it out of pocket as they are likely the only ones who can figure out what you can eat now and what to avoid. I cried the other day when I discovered another couple foods I can no longer eat. I have a friend who went to one. She was close to death and is now alive and healthy many years later but it cost her a fortune to see a Dr. who wasn't one of the traditional Drs. I'll bet if you start asking around over the next yr or two you'll find friends who are also having health problems. The stop gap answer is local farm grown organics but even that won't be safe for long if government doesnt reverse what is happening. You probably dont have cancer now but colon cancer is on the rise so Drs. only test all people over 50 for it now routinely when it used to not be a routine thing. It developed after genetically modified and pesticide ridden foods were brought to market and okayed by Food and Drug asso. as safe to eat for humans even tho not tested.
Its going to take probably your generation to help turn this around in a few years when you're an adult and can vote and protest. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

I am pretty sure your problem lies with diet. Is there any new foods, oils, deep fried stuff, cheeses, lactose that could be causing constipation and runs on a loop because they haven't been discovered as causing this issue? I would start there and try to rule out X, Y, Z foods or oils. Junk foods like chips and pop can do it and sauces of any kind.
More than likely you have IBS or irritated bowel problem as all of the symptoms you listed are direct symptoms of this. The only other thing I can think of is celiac disease which is a royal pain as your body no longer tolerates gluton.
You need to see your doctor and have him/her isolate the problem and remedy it. It's really nothing major. I'm not a doctor but do know you aren't dying or suffering from something that will do you in. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

On my dad's side, my grandmother had cancer as well as my grandmother's daughters (my aunts). My cousins need to be more aware than I do (since it was their MOTHERS who had it) but I still need to be conscious.
I cannot tell you whether or not that you have cancer but I can tell you you're at risk. This is *always* something you need to bring up to your doctor. Let them know who has had cancer in your family, their relation to you and how many times, etc. when you go. That will be very important as well as letting them know your symptoms. From there, the doctor can make a better judgement and decide what kind of tests or diagnosis to give.
Also, ask your doctor what kind of other things you should be weary of just all throughout the year (such as checking for lumps in your breast, etc.) so you can perform self-examinations. If you feel something isn't right or feels different than the check you gave yourself a week/month ago, you can let him/her know the changes.
Keep your guardians in the loop as well, they can always remind you to check yourself if you forgot, or if they see any changes in you that you haven't seen yourself they can help you out.
