Description
Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) can only be detected by carrying out a bowel cancer test kit... you can't even see it in your stool or on loo paper! That's why you need to test RIGHT NOW!
The FOBCHECK allows you to test yourself at home for signs of faecal occult blood (FOB) which could be a sign of an intestinal condition. Conditions associated with FOB such as colon cancer, colorectal growths (polyps), bowel cancer, diverticulitis or other serious diseases of the intestine. FOBCHECK is a test kit that makes it possible for you to test your stool for occult blood with immediate results.
Whether you are experiencing unusual abdominal pain or simply keeping an eye on your health, FOBCHECK is the home FOB test you can rely on.
This test is useful to detect blood found in a number of gastrointestinal disorders, e.g. diverticulitis, colitis, polyps,and colorectal cancer. It is intended for self-testing as an aid in the diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal disorders. The FOBCHECK One-step Faecal Occult Blood Test detects 40 μg/L human Hb as the threshold level.
Frequently asked questions about this home-use faecal occult blood test kit
What is faecal occult blood and who should do the test?
Faecal occult blood is blood in your faeces that you cannot see in your stool or on your toilet paper after you use the toilet. FOBCHECK is designed to detect it. You should do this test, because blood in your faeces may be an early sign of a digestive tract disorder for example growths (polyps) or colon cancer.
How long does the test take?
You can get results in only 5 minutes!
How often should I take the test?
It is recommended that you test for faecal occult blood every year after you turn 50. Some doctors suggest that you start testing at age 40 if your family is thought to be at increased risk. Follow your doctor‘s recommendations about how often you test for faecal occult blood
How accurate is this test?
This test is as accurate as the test your doctor would carry out but you must follow the directions carefully. For accurate results, you must prepare properly for the test and get a good stool sample
Why does the occult blood level of stool test matter?
FOB tests that detect the lowest concentration of human Hb can give you the earliest results of digestive tract disorders. FOBCHECK could detect 40 μg/l human blood haemoglobin in a sample
Does a positive test mean you have hidden blood in your stool?
No. A positive result means that the test has detected blood. This does not mean you have tested positive for cancer or any other illness. So if the result shows the positive result, further testing and examinations should be performed by the physician to determine the exact cause and source of the occult blood in the stool.
If the test results are negative, can you be sure that you do not have a bowel condition?
No. You could still have a bowel condition that you should know about. You should do another test after a week or so. This is necessary because if you have polyps they may not bleed all the time. Additionally, blood may not be uniformly distributed in faecal samples.

- This test is very easy to perform Review by StrayCat
-
Whilst most of us are aware that faecal occult tests are available on the NHS to certain age groups, it is a home test like this that puts those of us not in those groups minds to rest. I would not class myself as the 'worried well' as a GP once said to me, I would class myself as a proactive person taking responsibility for his health. No matter it seems as though many GPs take a disparaging view of this. This test is very easy to perform, and there are two provided. So you can double test if you are in doubt, or share it with a friend if all clear. This product really is as easy to use as it claims on the packet, together with the privacy and discretion aspects involved with a test of this nature. (Posted on 27 March 2015)Product Rating
- Easy to use test Review by Maeve

Easy to use test, my husband and I decided to test ourselves after our dear friend developed colon cancer after showing no symptoms at all.Product Rating
Both our tests were negative and maybe more for 'peace of mind' than anything else, but I would recommend it. We just wish John (our friend) had taken one before it was too late. Also it is easier testing a stool sample at home rather than sending it in to the GP surgery! (Posted on 9 April 2015)
- Good test, Review by SImona

Good faecal occult blood test, easy to use and it alerted me to go to the GP and I have been referred for further tests. I just felt something wasn't right and this gave me the confidence to mention it to my GP to further clarify. I'm health and 45, but there is a history of bowel problems in my family.

- excellent Review by Andy

I messed up a state (Ireland) initiated bowel test for those over 60 years of age. I got a positive result. I realised that I cut my finger and put it in by mouth. I believed this is what gave the positive results because any blood contamination will show as positive. I then decided to purchase three of the FOBCHECK tests and do them over two weeks. All were negative thankfully so no need for a colonoscopy. However, I will do the test in the national programme again in two years (which is the national interval for all adults over 60 years). I think its particularly important to read very carefully the instructions to do the test correctly. The service from this company is second to none. Regards Andy.

Second Very light pink line appear after 7 minutes is that valid or not?Product Rating
Dear Jan
Please refer to the instructions for the home use bowel health test kit - a copy can be found in the details section of the page here http://www.stressnomore.co.uk/fobcheck-fecal-occult-blood-test-82452.html
The Faecal occult blood test should be read within 5 minutes for an accurate result, leaving it at 7 minutes invalidates the results.
Let me know if I can help you further

- Only 1 test in pack Review by Tory77

Good product only I've read that some people got two to check if unsure, I only got one and actually would have preferred two as the first one is like a practice test and I wasn't quite sure I'd done it right! Do t want to pay again in I indeed have actually done the test correct! Great test just really disappointing there was not two! (Posted on 7 June 2017)Product Rating

I have not used my test kit yet but the instructions seem easy to follow and I feel more comfortable doing this in my own home. I will be getting the national bowel screening test soon as I am 60 next month, but want to do a home test first. (Posted on 23 October 2017)Product Rating
