Second Generation FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test) for Colorectal Cancer (2)

It arrived quickly. Instructions were very understandable. Test was simple and results were available in 5 minutes. My first test was negative and I took the second one a week later and it was negative. Yay!

Recommend by my physician

The test is easy to use . Be careful interpreting the results . I was taking iron supplements when I did the test . It showed positive results 2 times. I had my colonoscopy scheduled . In the meantime I did a lab test but it took a lot of time for the results come back . I bought another set of tests , stopped taking iron supplements. Results came back negative. Luckily hyper plastic polyps were removed during colonoscopy. They were not the reason of my anemia . So , my learning is always talk to your doctor and redo the test . Lab tests came back negative as well. Do not freak out right away .

This test was negative, but my doctor wanted me to do Cologuard which came back positive, so I had to endure a colonoscopy without anesthesia which was not fun. Nothing - not a polyp, nothing. Mr. doctor said Cologuard was better. Not in my case. This test was accurate.

Great product! Easier than Cologuard and less messy. Plus nobody calls you, emails you, and texts you, 3 times a day urging you to return the test like the other brand! Cologuard wouldn't stop urging me to return their test even after I asked them to stop and so I didn't use it and won't. It's worse than car warranty ads!My doctor was very happy I used it and had no problem accepting the results. I'm good for another year and there are TWO tests in the box.

I used the second test out of a two test pack purchased about one year ago. That version had suspension paper to keep the stool sample high and dry. I was supposed to collect the "dry" sample and wait between 4 - 7 minutes for the results. Well I missed the paper and decided to grab a wet sample from slightly below the water surface. I also missed checking the test window by going 1 minute over. POSITIVE! I had a positive reading. Given that I had completely failed to follow the directions I called customer support to see if that mattered. A live person answered the phone on the first try. He confirmed that my sample was contaminated and the I could not rely on the positive result being correct. I ordered a new kit (with different directions) and got my second negative.I bring this up because at least one review stated they got a false positive as well causing then to get an unneeded colonoscopy. Please confirm you followed directions to the letter to avoid a possible scare. If you have any problems call customer support. They are great.PS. I attached both the older (01/2023) and current (01/2024) kit pictures in case you have any questions of what I used.

I did two home tests, one week apart and they were both positive for polyps or colon cancer. I scheduled a colonoscopy and I had neither. The description says it is testing for DNA not simply blood in the stool. But the discrepancy with the real test results made me wonder.

I knew I felt something was wrong when I saw blood in my stool prior to this two weeks ago and since then it was impossible to use the restroom no matter how much fiber I ate. This week, it took almost 5 days to finally have a bowel movement. I used enema, which had no effect, I've used magnesium citrate to FINALLY get the amount I needed for the test (that took more than 16 hours to work instead of the usual 30 min-6 hours it said on the instructions. Thank God. I'm not sure how accurate this test kit is, but I know my body and something's up. I almoat ignored this critical condition because everyone said there was nothing wrong with me. Don't listen to them. Get the test done. Save your colon!
