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!

I too had high fit test refered for urgent suspected cancer colonoscopy also had change in bowel movements and acid reflux/heartburn. To cut long story short had colonoscopy. A large rectal polyp was found. 5cm so very large. Had to have it removed by TEMS procedure because of the size. Biopsies taken and was benign so dont assume the worse. Not always as bad as you think but I would urge anyone with symptoms to get checked ASAP as I left it for nearly a year.
Thank you. Im trying to stay positive
Yes please do. I know its hard and only natural to worry but you have done the right thing getting it checked out
