COLONOX at-Home Colon Screening Test Kit – Easy to Use Fecal Occult Blood (FIT or FOB) Colon Test for Early Detection (1 Test)

Easy directions and quick results

I’ll be blunt: I’m a hypochondriac. My latest fixation is colon cancer due to the increasing rates of diagnosis in younger adults. I’m not old enough for regular colonoscopies, nor do I have any health markers that qualify me for colonoscopies at my age. Plus I’m not going to go through the bowel prep unless my doctor tells me that it’s time for a colonoscopy.This kit does my brain a world of good through the reassurance of a simple fecal test. My husband and I plan to do one each year until we start regular colonoscopies. We still see our GI doctors annually, take psyllium capsules daily to per our doctor’s recommendation, we drink lots of water, and we work fiber into our diets regularly to reduce our risk of colon cancer. Even if this kit provides a false sense of security, we’re being proactive enough in our daily wellbeing that we’ll recognize them if any red flags arise in the future.It’s just nice to have some sort of tangible “security blanket” to help me combat my anxious thoughts whenever my hypochondria hits. You really can’t put a price on peace of mind.

Easy to use instructions and good price

My husband is at the age where they tell you to get a colonoscopy but he doesn’t want to, so I suggested we do this at home test first and if it’s positive we have one. I ordered the 2 pack just to be on the safe side.You just tape the paper under the commode seat like a hammock. Then you twist off the blue cap end on the vial and poke your stool in 6 different spots. Place the tip back in the vial and screw it on tightly, shake and then turn it over to the red cap side. Open the foil pack and pull out the test device, open the red cap end and squirt 3 drops of this solution in the hole where it shows drops. Then you wait 10 minutes.I guess we will wait a few days and do the second test. There is a faint line on the bottom and the kit shows if there is a faint second line then it is positive. I guess if the next one does the same we will be going to the doctor whether he wants to or not.This is a very simple test to do though. It is especially good for those that do not want to get a colonoscopy.

Sorry for the crappy photo, haha, but this was after 15 minutes. Showed nothing. It said after 30 minutes , not to read the test, so just for the heck of it, I put a drop of water over the sample seeing if that would do anything and then hours later it showed 2 lines, so now I don’t know what to think. I followed the instructions, which said to shake well. I’m not sure what it was mixing with because there was only a tiny amount of fluid in the tube (as in a drop or two), but I shook it well and did my 3 drops. Also, my first attempt with the paper they give you to poop on, the poop went right through, so I just got a few paper towels to collect it the next time. Just a waste of my money.

Excelente fácil de usar y un resultado inmediato

Ordered overnight delivery. Nice small packaging and great instructions with a u-tube video as well. The results were fast and seemed accurate. I will have the result confirmed when a MD does the same test. I was happy I ordered the home test.

Cheap convenient home test. But the little paper for catching your... Specimen is terrible. Plan to have to use something else.
