24 FIT TESTRESULT.

[Pakleo]

Had fit test done and came back with elevated level of 24. But I have anal fissure which is not fully healed. Is it possible that high level of FIT TEST IS because of this anal fissure. Please share if anybody else had same situation. THANKS A LOT.

I have been referred for colonoscopy. Before FIT test all other tests were normal including for IBD. I was wondering whether anal fissure is causing high reading of FIT test. Can you ask your GP to give you the result of your FIT test.

[Hidden in reply to Pakleo]

I would say the anal fissure as in bleeding is causing it as was my colitis

[Hidden in reply to Pakleo]

I can ask for the score I do need to see about the referral to IBD specialist too but I won't be taking any more meds I self cured last time

I will say this my uncle had bowel cancer and he was cured first visit that was 2o years ago,

[Pakleo in reply to Hidden]

Very happy to know that your uncle has cured.

[Hidden in reply to Pakleo]

Please try not to overthink on the fit test I know loads that have had a elevated reading and it wasn't cancer even if is it's so easy treated now 🤗

I am only 17.no family history. All my tests for IBD were also negative.only this elevated level in FIT test. Really worried. Need assurance that high level of FIT test was due to anal fissure. Any one with any knowledge please respond.thanks.

Hi Pakleo,

Thanks for posting with us. You have lots of good feedback here👍. The elevated FIT could very well be from your fissure. It could be from other issues as well like piles. The thing here is your doctors want to be sure and have ordered the colonoscopy. You are young, but symptoms need a diagnosis no matter the age. You will get some great information from the procedure and hopefully you can get on a path to being well and not having to speculate if something else is going on. It would be so easy and wrong to say no further investigation needs to happen because you are young. Sounds like you have a good medical team.👍

Good advice to not over think it. I think you’re on a great path to get definitive answers. You’ll get some peace of mind soon. Glad to hear there are no family issues at play here.👏

Also, please let us know what you find out. That kind of information can be beneficial to others as well.

more than likely especially as it’s not healed , my fit test came back positive due to piles .
