Introducing the Bowel Health Test Kit – a quick, easy, and private way to investigate your bowel health from the comfort of your own home. This test kit is suitable for anyone experiencing abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or unexpected weight loss, and provides a simple way to detect hidden fecal occult blood.

This bowel health test is ideal for individuals who wish to investigate their gastrointestinal well-being or identify potential reasons for abdominal discomfort, alterations in bowel movements, or unexpected weight loss. Unfortunately, many people avoid consulting their GP for various reasons, including being too busy, not wanting to take up their doctor’s time, or feeling embarrassed about their symptoms or bodies. For some, requesting a stool test kit can be an intimidating task.

Fortunately, a home bowel health test kit eliminates this discomfort. Whether you want to utilise the kit to uncover the root cause of specific symptoms or obtain peace of mind that there is no blood in your stool, home testing is fast, convenient, and confidential. It is important to note, however, that a positive result is not indicative of any specific ailment and should always be followed up with a doctor’s visit.

Instructions

To gather and analyse your stool sample, follow these simple steps:

1. Start by securing the provided collection paper to the toilet using the adhesive tabs.
2. Carefully defecate on the paper, making sure not to contaminate it with urine.
3. Next, use the blue applicator included in the collection tube to take a sample of the stool. Be sure to insert the applicator into at least three different areas to ensure it is well coated. Remember, you do not need a large sample, just enough to coat the tip of the applicator.
4. Screw the applicator back into the test tube, ensuring it is tightly secured, and then shake the tube to mix the stool sample with the liquid in the tube.
5. Flush the remaining stool down the toilet.
6. Open the foil pouch and remove the test strip.
7. Unscrew the lid on the opposite end of the test tube and break off the tip of the dropper.
8. Gently squeeze 8-10 drops of the liquid onto the reaction tube.

By following these straightforward instructions, you can successfully collect and test your stool sample in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Reading the Results

Understanding Your Bowel Health Test Results

Your Bowel Health Test Kit’s reading should clearly indicate whether or not blood has been detected in your stool. It is crucial to read your results precisely five minutes after placing the specimen in the testing liquid. Reading your results after ten minutes is too long.

A positive result, indicating the presence of blood, is indicated by two coloured lines – one on the control line (C) and another on the test line (T). In contrast, a negative result, indicating the absence of blood, is indicated by a single-coloured line on the control line (C) only.

If the control line fails to appear, the test is invalid, and no result can be ascertained. This could be due to an insufficient amount of specimen used, and it is advisable to repeat the test using a new kit and carefully follow the instructions.

By paying close attention to the lines that appear on the test strip, you can accurately determine whether or not blood is present in your stool, providing valuable insight into your bowel health.
