Positive Fit Test

Hi everyone, so I have been having some trouble with my bowels, what started out with what we thought was viral gastroenteritis I had lingering issues. Cramps, and urgency to open my bowels and some pain in lower left abdomen. Dr did blood tests etc and a normal stool sample and these were OK. They then asked me to do a fit test, I was called into Dr's and told this has come back positive last Thursday the 24th. I received a call today with an appointment fora colonoscopy on 24th July. Can anyone advise on similar experience, and outcomes other than cancer, also what to expect with colonoscopy I am very nervous about it all. Thank you so much.

    I was warned before a recent fit test that they are so good at detecting blood they can be really worrying when you get a positive result, if you have the odd 'pile' or fissure it will be positive, not always cancer.

    It's good you are having a colonoscopy as you will get results on the day and will find out what the problem is.
