Could be lots of things. Anxiety or IBS would probably be two of the more likely explanations. Or a tummy bug. Think diarrhea can cause thin stools, so those are probably connected and the grumbling could be too. Odds are it's nothing that serious, but it's good you're getting it checked out.

Just came across this forum. I had a qfit test done & the reading came back >400. I am waiting on a colonscopy test. Anyone know what this reading means? Cheers

That reading means there is blood in your poo. That's it, really. It sounds like quite a lot of blood, but the FIT test gives no indication of what is causing the blood, just tells you it's there. It could be many things, diverticulitis, a polyp, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, cancer...probably a load more I've never even heard of too.

Best of luck with the colonoscopy.

That's the same reading I got. I'm waiting on a test aswell, I'm assuming it's a colonoscopy as my GP said it will involve a camera to see where my bleeding's coming from.

Hope your colonoscopy goes fine.

I had a colonscopy on Monday. I have been diagnosed with diverticulosis, which would explain the blood in stool. I hope all goes well with you...

Hi,

Ive recently just had a positive FIT test (test for blood in the stool) yet Im being made to wait 3 Weeks to even be able to discuss this with my Doctor. I was wondering if this normal and what your experience was like.

Also im happy your problems ended up not being anything seriously nasty like cancer.

You were right Margaret, i went for colonscopy on Monday and was diagnosed with divertculosis, which would explain the blood in stool...

Hi i never got to see my doctor & still haven't..once the qfit was done i was red flagged for a colonscopy. I waited four weeks on the procedure. I was told straight away what i had but i still haven't heard a word from my doctor. The colonscopy was fine, i never took the sedation. It took around 30 mins from start to finish. I had a good experience, i hope yours goes well. Thank you at least i know now what is wrong with me & it wasn't my imagination....

I had a SIGMOIDOSCOPY in January 2019 - I already knew that I had piles,they said I had 3rd degree and that was where the blood was coming from. They also found 2 sessile polyps,largest of which was 3mm. Was told that I needed a full COLONOSCOPY - I cancelled it ! I am absolutely terrified to have a COLONOSCOPY - reading what other people have said re their experience.
