Overview:
Check for hidden blood in your stool with a simple FIT home test kit.
Our Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) Home Test Kit is a simple, non-invasive bowel screening test designed to detect hidden blood, also known as occult blood, in your stool sample. Hidden blood may be linked to bowel health concerns, including colorectal polyps, inflammation, haemorrhoids, or bowel cancer.
This home test kit allows you to collect your stool sample privately and conveniently at home, then return it for laboratory analysis. Your results are presented clearly, helping you understand whether further medical advice may be appropriate.
The FIT test may help identify an important marker linked to gastrointestinal health. It does not diagnose bowel cancer and should not replace medical assessment if you have symptoms.
👉 Order your FIT home test kit today and take a proactive step towards understanding your bowel health.
Who Is This Test For?
This FIT home test kit may be suitable for individuals who:
- Are aged 40 or above, or have been advised to check bowel health by a healthcare professional.
- Have a family history of colorectal cancer or bowel polyps.
- Want to check for hidden blood in stool from home.
- Are concerned about bowel health or gastrointestinal symptoms.
- Have noticed changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhoea or constipation.
- Experience abdominal discomfort, unexplained fatigue, or anaemia.
Red Flags: When to Seek Medical Attention
Please seek prompt medical advice if you experience any of the following:
- Visible blood in your stool or rectal bleeding.
- Severe or persistent abdominal pain.
- Significant unintended weight loss.
- A persistent or worsening change in bowel habit.
- Symptoms that are new, unexplained, or causing concern.
A home FIT test should not delay medical care if you have worrying symptoms.
What This Test Does:
The Faecal Immunochemical Test checks your stool sample for human haemoglobin, a protein found in blood. Detecting haemoglobin in stool may indicate hidden bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal tract.
A positive result does not mean you have bowel cancer. It means blood has been detected and you should discuss your result with a GP or healthcare professional, who may recommend further investigation.
A negative result is reassuring, but it does not completely rule out bowel cancer or other bowel conditions, especially if symptoms are present.

Checks for hidden blood, which may be linked to bowel cancer or other gastrointestinal conditions. Further medical assessment may be needed depending on your result and symptoms.
