About this test
Our Bowel Health Test is a fast, reliable way to check for hidden blood in your stool — a possible early warning sign of a gastrointestinal issue.
Many digestive conditions, including ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, fissures, and even bowel cancer, can cause microscopic bleeding long before more obvious symptoms appear.
This easy-to-use test quickly identifies the presence of Faecal Occult Blood at levels as low as 50ng/ml. This gives you an early indication that something may need further attention.
It’s perfect for anyone concerned about conditions like ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, fissures, or even bowel cancer.
Using a rapid chromatographic immunoassay, this CE-marked test delivers accurate results in just 10 minutes, ensuring you get accurate results without the need for lab tests.
You can buy this test as part of our Digestive Health Bundle.
