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

Hi Hariett,
I too have been referred for a 2WW colonoscopy, mine is on Tuesday. I am so scared! My fit test was positive at 400! My faecal calprotectin was negative so I do not have IBD so even more worrying!
what are your symptoms? I have a lot of abdominal pain, acid reflux, severe bloating, belching, change in bowel habit and coccyx pain.
good luck for your colonoscopy!
Lisa
Hi Lisa my FIT tests were 112, 129 and now over 200 so going up all the time. My calorotectin was borderline at 93 so not sure what that means exactly. I also have bowel wall thickening so that’s worrying too and just found out my nan had colon cancer so even more worrying! I have stomach pains occasionally but I feel more worried about the high fit test, bowel thickening and family history of colon cancer. I’m waiting for a date for my colonoscopy - good luck on Tuesday - let us know how it goes x
