A rapid at-home stool test for hidden blood (FIT), a marker commonly used to help assess bowel health and flag the need for further investigation.
1 biomarker as listed by Check My Body Health.
This test looks for faecal occult blood, meaning hidden blood in a stool sample that is not visible to the eye. A positive result is commonly used as a prompt to seek further medical investigation, since blood in stool can have a number of causes.
Among the FIT tests we track, it is priced well below the £59.50 group median, at £14.99. Only MyHealthChecked's equivalent test, at £10, is cheaper; the rest of the group, including Medichecks, Selph, Thriva, Bluecrest Wellness, LetsGetChecked and Blue Horizon Medicals, cost £55 or more for the same single marker.
It scores well for value for money and for collection convenience, since it is done entirely at home with results in minutes. It scores lower for results and follow-up because, like the rest of the range, it is not doctor-reviewed as standard, so any positive result relies on you seeking your own GP follow-up.
This suits you if you want a low-cost, immediate first check for hidden blood in stool, for example if you have noticed changes in bowel habit and want a quick initial read before deciding whether to see a GP. If cost is the only factor, MyHealthChecked's version is £5 cheaper; if you would rather have professional interpretation built in, none of the tests in this comparison group include doctor review as standard, so you would need to arrange that separately regardless of which you choose.
You collect a small stool sample at home and run the rapid test yourself, with the provider stating a result in five minutes and no need to post anything to a lab. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard, so the provider recommends speaking to a doctor if you get a positive result or have ongoing symptoms.
This single-marker FIT test checks stool for hidden blood in around five minutes at home, and at £14.99 it is the second-cheapest FIT test we track, after MyHealthChecked's £10 version. Results are not doctor-reviewed, so a positive result needs following up with a GP.
