myCARE Bowel Health Test, Fit Faecal Immunochemical Type Test

Relatively easy to use with quick result.

Lovely thanks

I was sent a poop test for my 60th from the NHS which I duly sent off within 3 days of receiving it. It was my first and it was only after receiving notification that it wasn't normal that I realised I might have a hemorrhoid which might affect the outcome. So being the hypochondriac that I am I decided to take a home kit to allay my fears before my online consultation. I Googled and read reviews and bought this kit based on the fact that it Google says that home tests are 92% accurate and that 5% of the remainder give a false positive. So when the online consultation happened I was pretty confident that the NHS would just sent me another test kit to iron out the discrepancy - but they don't do that. I put it down to bureaucratic restrictions and reluctantly agreed to go for a full colonoscopy utterly believing that it would come up with nothing nasty. I had the colonoscopy today and 4 polyps of varying sizes were removed for analysis. I had absolutely no idea that I had nasties growing in my colon. The fact is that 1 in 10 polyps will develop into cancer. I have been told that mine look ok but I'm not going to know for sure for another couple of weeks and that's fine because even in the worst case, it's all been found early. This test kit was very easy to use and I'm sure in most cases it is accurate but please don't believe it is as accurate as the one provided by the NHS. Stay safe :)

These home testing kits are cheap and easy to use. It is questionable whether they can tell the difference between human blood and animal blood so for the bowel kit it is better to change your diet (eg - no red meat). I used one of these kits alongside an NHS one - the home test was negative but the NHS kit was subsequently positive ( a microscopic test). As a result I was advised to have a colonoscopy. The result is pending.

Followed the instructions perfectly and have used these types of tests before with no problems. Didn't get the C line at all and then noticed that the card inside wasn't actually lined up in the window at all so think the one I received was faulty. Really disappointing as these are not cheap. Wouldn't buy this brand again.

Very easy to use and speedy result.

Useless product, took this test on the same day/time as I sent a stool sample to the hospital. This product showed no presence of blood in the sample. Two days after I received the result from the hospital test which showed very high levels of blood in my sample and I was advised to attend a hospital ASAP snake oil rubbish I suggest not for anyone to buy this as the readings are totally inaccurate

I followed the instructions, but the test kit didn't give either a positive or negative result, absolutly no hint of control or test line developed.
