hello all in regards my precious post on stool I went to the hospital and did my fit test.
Result came out as follows
No blood in stool
Undigested food seen
Spores cells positive .
Just checking on my result didn’t notice the spores cells positive because my doctor didn’t say anything in regards that just told me all is fine .
Now am home just checking the result does the spores cells have any thing to do with colon cancer since they positive .
Don’t want to get on google and get paranoid
Hi Mooora ,Thanks for posting your update. Glad to hear no blood was detected in the stool, that's great news.
Please keep in mind this site does NOT offer medical advice and we are not medical professionals.
I would recommend that you contact your doctor to find out exactly what that means. I understand that this can cause anxiety, hearing "everything's normal" and then you see something about "spores".
This is not an area I am very familiar with, you might have more luck posting in the IBS Network healthunlocked.com/theibsne...
The only time I've ever heard about spores in fecal tests is in relation to c. diff, which is a bacteria and treated by antibiotics. Again, this could be unrelated, but I know that c. diff is far more common than most people think (I remember reading somewhere that 500,000 people in the US get c. dif each year, and many people have no symptoms).
However, if you were having a FIT because of GI issues, and you had spores present, (or even if you had no symptoms and were doing a regular colorectal cancer screening), your doctor should explain to you what the spore mention on the report means.
Try not to panic, but do speak to your doctor to find out what that result means. Your doctor should always review test results with you, and perhaps the spore result doesn't require any treatment, but it is something that he or she should discuss with you.
And remember, if you ever feel that you and your doctor are not a good fit - or that your health concerns aren't being taken seriously, consider getting a second opinion, or even switching doctors. That might not be needed here, but we always like to remind people that you do not need to stay with your doctor if you have concerns that aren't being addressed. In general, we are very quick to change other things in our lives (for instance a hairstylist that we are not happy with their results, or even a grocery store if we find their prices too high, or the staff is not helpful, etc.), but for some reason, many of us are hesitant to seek second opinions or even change doctors, even if we aren't happy with them, or just feel it isn't a good match.
Bottom line: try not to get too anxious, but your doctor does owe you an explanation about the spore mention. And if you do google, there seems to be a lot of medical articles about bacteria but none of it is very reader-friendly for those of us who are not medical doctors.
The IBS group may have more insight, or even the Crohns and Colitis group - the members in both of those groups have a lot of experience with stool tests and may have some ideas.

Hi Mooora ,Did the doctor perform any type of physical exam, where they inserted either finger (a digital rectal exam) or any type of device into your rectum? If so, that can cause bleeding.
Please monitor your stools and bowel habits as you have been doing, and contact your doctor to find out what other options exist.
This site does not offer medical advice, but we are here to share our experience and offer our advice, but it should not replace speaking to your doctor.
It is pretty hard to tell from a photo what's going on unless the blood is very obvious. This doesn't seem to be a situation where it is 100% definitely blood. However, we recommend that you speak to a medical professional to find out for sure if there is blood in the stool and any issues.
Please keep us updated, we're here for you along the way.

I did ultrasound where all organs were checked and came out fine .
Nothing was inserted in my rectum
Did some complete blood count test where it showed everything was fine
The words from my doctors was that I am
100% fine and I have nothing to worry about
I don’t know if anxiety is getting a better part of my brain
