Hi everyone
I have had suspected IBS symptoms for about 9 months now. Tried all the peppermint tea and watching my diet, but no avail. Doctor suggested doing more bloods and stool sample, however the nurse gave me the qFIT test instead of the other one (for crohns/colitis). It's come back with a score of 112 which is apparently high so I've recently (like yesterday) been referred to a gastroenterology specialist, my referral letter states the urgency as Red Flag.
I've got an appointment, but in the meantime my head is working overtime. What does a Red flag really mean? Has anyone else been in this position, is it all precautionary language or should I actually be concerned?
