Reg colorectal cancer

I have been having mild abdomen pain for about two months. Showed it to two different doctors, got an abdominal ultrasound done and they said everything's normal and gave medicine for gastric trouble. However I'm really worried since I'm also getting occassional constipation and slightly flat stools at times though I did not notice any blood. Should I just go to a proctologist and get it checked out?
