Hello,

I have had some bowel issues for a while. Currently on Lanzsrapole for heartburn and an anal fissure.

The fissure has been around for a while and is slightly higher up then your regular fissure. It hasn't yet gone and I can still feel pain.

I also have constipation, passing stools around every 3 or so days. I have taken some laxative meds to ease this.

I was asked to do a FIT some months ago but totally forgot however did it earlier this week. I got a reading of 200> and have been referred for colonoscopy on 2 week wait. I am absolutely petrified about this and yes I have been looking at Dr Google.

Does anyone have any experience of FIT tests possibly passing a fissure on the way out hence elevating the result? I'm tempted to pay for a private one and ensure I'm on laxatives and see if that makes a difference in the reading.

Feeling very anxious and sort of a I don't know what to do space.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
