Hello and thank you for posting.

I am sorry you are worried about the colonoscopy. Lots of people, with various health conditions, have this procedure. Luckily these hospital teams do them everyday, so they will know what to do to make this as safe as possible, to get the answers they need. Sometimes they will assess someone face to face and then might choose to do less invasive test such as CT colonography. Sometimes colonoscopy teams will liaise with other medical teams, like cardiology to ensure people are triaged carefully and thoroughly.

There are many different reasons for a FIT result of 200, inflammatory bowel, diverticular disease or polyps could be the cause, but only a camera and biopsies can confirm this.

Take care and I hope things get sorted for you.

If you want to talk to the nurses on the helpline then call 0808 800 4040, lines are open mon-fri, 9-5.

Sarah.
