Does this sound like Ulcerative Colitis or Colon Cancer?

$20 you're diabetic.

The 'alcohol' smell (which I bet is also a fruity smell) is actually ketones, and the thrush you have on your tongue is common in diabetics....your immune system is in the dumper from high blood sugar.

You need an A1C blood test.

let me know.

i thought so too, as it sounded a lot like Diabetic ketoacidosis according to OP symptoms but what seems confusing is Tanner said that he got checked by a doctor, i presume any "real" doctor could tell such diagnosis from just smelling the acetone in his breath or his symptoms ?! or at least request tests ?!

i hope you got checked Tanner

Diabetes also runs in my family. My sister's sugar got so low recently she passed out at work. She doesn't look like your typical diabetic. She's got an athletic body type and reasonable eating habits. I never thought to look into that until you mentioned it.

Since you said that you should get checked ASAP, to avoid any serious complications.

And you'd be surprised [Type 1] diabetes is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the pancreas, resulting in a lack of insulin and [Type 2] was thought to be related to older overweight/obese people but turns out it is autoimmune too .
