A FIT (Faecal Immunochemical Test) test to detect occult (hidden) blood in stool samples. Blood in stool can be an early sign of bowel cancer or other conditions such as polyps.

The Newfoundland Bowel Health Test, available at The Root & Tincture Apothecary, is an advanced at-home diagnostic tool designed to detect hidden (occult) blood in stool samples, a key indicator of potential bowel conditions such as colorectal cancer or polyps. Utilizing faecal immunochemical test (FIT) technology, it offers a reliable, convenient, and private means for individuals to monitor their bowel health from the comfort of home.

Key Features:

High Accuracy: The test provides over 99% accuracy, ensuring dependable results for users seeking to monitor their bowel health.

Quick Results: Obtain results in just 5 minutes, offering prompt and actionable insights into your health status.

Dietary Independence: Unlike traditional guaiac-based tests, this FIT does not require dietary restrictions, making it easier and more practical to use.

Ease of Use: The test includes straightforward, step-by-step instructions for seamless at-home administration.

Who Should Consider This Test:

Adults Aged 45 and Above: Regular screening is strongly recommended for individuals over 45 as part of routine health checks.

Family History: Those with a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, particularly when a first-degree relative was diagnosed before age 50.

Personal History: Individuals with previous colorectal polyps, colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.

Unexplained Symptoms: Anyone experiencing symptoms like abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss may benefit from taking this test as part of a broader diagnostic approach.

How It Works:

1. Sample Collection: Use the stool collection paper provided in the kit to collect a stool sample, ensuring it is free from contamination.

2. Sample Application: Use the blue applicator to collect samples from three different areas of the stool.

3. Mixing: Insert the applicator into the specimen collection tube, secure it tightly, and shake to mix with the buffer solution.

4. Testing: Add 8-10 drops of the mixed sample into the reaction tube, immerse the test dipstick, and wait for 5 minutes.

5. Result Interpretation:

Positive Result: Two colored lines indicate the presence of occult blood.

Negative Result: One line in the control region confirms no detectable occult blood.

Invalid Result: No line in the control region indicates an error, requiring a repeat test with a new kit.

Advantages Over Traditional Methods:

Unlike traditional faecal occult blood tests that often require dietary changes to prevent false results, the Newfoundland Bowel Health Test’s FIT technology is unaffected by diet. This ensures greater reliability and user convenience.
