Hello!

I’m 38 and had a positive FIT test a few weeks ago, mine was 74, like you I haven’t ever seen blood in my stools. I had stomach pain (upper GI) rather than lower GI and some discomfort in my rectum area. I also lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks but I think that was due to anxiety and stress. 

had the colonoscopy last week and it was completely clear, so not sure where the source of the blood is but my GP thinks from gastritis (stomach inflammation). 

I was terrified and honestly assumed the worst, but I read that 96% of positive FIT tests are not cancer. 

have you had Blood tests done? If you haven’t got any lower bowel symptoms it’s unlikely to be cancer at age 37.
