Why test
Symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain, or changes to your bowel movements can be a sign of a bowel health concern.
We also know that many gastrointestinal problems in the early stages such as colon cancer, ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, and fissures can cause hidden blood in stool and may not always show any visible symptoms.
Screening for gastrointestinal issues allows you to check for the presence of non-visible blood in your stool. If a specific concentration is found, the results will indicate a positive result, suggesting an abnormality in your bowel health.
This test has been designed by healthcare professionals.
What our customers say
Clear instructions and easy to use - a great product and a great price too!
I am too young to have the NHS test but have a history of the disease in my family so was keen to have a test. I found the test relatively easy to use and received reassuring results in no time at all.
Worked exactly as advertised. Clear instructions and easy to use.
When to seek medical advice
Positive result
If your result shows two coloured lines in both the control (c) and test (t) regions, it means occult blood (non-visible blood) has been detected in your stool sample. A positive result indicates that you could have a gastrointestinal issue. These issues may not show any visible symptoms, so it is important positive results are followed up with a medical professional.
Negative result
When one coloured line is in the control (C) region but not in the test region (T), it means that no faecal occult (non-visible) blood has been detected in your stool sample.

Intended use
This at-home test is designed for adults aged 18 and over for the collection of a stool sample. This test has been designed by medical experts to give you an indication of your bowel health. However, you’ll need a secondary analytical test or consultation with a healthcare professional to confirm the status of your bowel health.
