Good morning,, I've just had a telephone consultation, I was told my fit test came back at 200.  is this a bad sign ? I have to have a colonoscopy in the next 2 weeks,  any advice ? x

  • The FIT test number just tells you how much blood, if any, is in your stool. A result like 200 indicates there is quite a bit of blood in your stool, but it doesn't necessarily indicate anything about what is causing it. It could be many things, including IBD and cancer, but also diverticulitis, a polyp, an ulcer and probably lots more I don't even know of.
