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
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!
Ive been trying to lose weight over the past two years and was on a very strict (hardly any fibre) diet. Been losing weight steadily and going great. However, I noticed around November diarrhea which would come and go until finally decided to go the doctors in February.
Took a Calprotectin test which came back at 290 which obviously caused concern. I was told to try a FODMAP diet and noticed pretty quickly stools went back to normal. However I knew something wasn’t right and pushed for a FIT test to be sure. Which has now came back as >200
I am currently beside myself with worry. I am 38 and have a two year old and five month old and I am terrified of the prospect of having cancer and potentially missing my beautiful daughters grow up.
On top of that I went to the doctor today to get my 2 week referral for colonoscopy and while examine my abdomen the doctor said she could feel it being slightly harder near the upper right side of belly button. When pressing on it, it was slightly tender.
Can anyone help me with some slight reassurance or possible help to get through these two weeks while awaiting the colonoscopy. I am so scared
