Bowel FIT Type Health Test

So easy to do, results in 5 mins. I am over 75 Having bowel problems, got a bit scary. phoned NHS bowel centre they said not eligible for a bowel kit, go to doctor, our doctor only doing phone consultations.so order this test, very easy to do, nervous waiting the 5mins, results negative, lifted a cloud off my shoulders. will do this test every year. If you are having problems even if not do this test better to be safe than sorry.Buying one for my 50yr old daughter.

I used this test along side the NHS bowel screening test, for peace of mind, rather than having to wait 2 weeks for the result. Both tests, fortunately, were negative. I found the FIT test fairly easy to use, I didn’t collect samples over 3 days as it advises in the notes, collecting one sample was bad enough! You have to wait exactly 10 minutes for the results, which is quite tense, but the result was very clear. I would definitely use it again.

Easy to use

I orginal did a test with the doctor which came back positive I did two more including this home test. They can give false positive results if you have hemorrhoids at the time.

This item is very bad. Doesn't show results at all.

I have suffered from years with bowel issues. My younger sibling has bowel Cancer so whilst waiting for a Dr’s appointment, I did a test with another cheaper brand. 1sr one was faintly positive, next one negative. I then tried this test - much easier to use with clear instructions and was a negative. Will still see the Dr but this has made me feel more at ease.

very good

I'm not sure how to feel. I done this test and it came back positive. Literally in 5 minutes two pink lines, and i only doing the sample for one day not 3 like suggested. I went to GP about the positive test and they said they won't accept private tests and I had to do one of the NHS ones.. which came back negative.. so now what. How often is this test a false positive?
