Fit test results and symptoms

Hi. I have been having upper abdominal pain on and off for some time. Did a fit test about 3 months ago due to a lot of blood when passing. Doctors called it a flash in the pan as I have hemeroids and test was negative. Had a colonoscapy 16 months ago due to symptoms which was clear apart from hemeriods.  Moving on started with mixed bowel habits recently and blood in stool with upper abdominal pain and had a positive fit test of 64.5 . I don't know much about the numbers but was wondering if this was quite high as I belive anything after 10 is a risk. Lost my fiancé at 47yrs old to bowel cancer so has heightened my concerns. 

  • I am no expert, but I don't think 64.5 is super high, as people have gotten results well into the hundreds. I think somebody may have once posted here with a result of 900 or 1,000.

    And all it tells you is that you have blood in your stool. With hemorrhoids, there would be a reasonably high chance of that anyway. And lots of things can cause blood in the stool.

    Sorry about your fiancé. That must have been really awful.
