Question : Hello, I%E2%80%99m having investigation done for potentially irritable bowel. I had a fit test done and my results have come back normal. Looking at the results though it says the number is 3 (image attached) Does that mean there was traces of blood detected and is that normal?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query. I had a look into the report. It is normal. If you can share the whole report I could assess better. This looks like there is no blood in stool.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.

Thanks. Can you also help me. I have had a faecal calprotectin teat. Mine has come back as 165 ug/g. Is this bad? I also had a fit test and that came back nornal.

Could this be IBS?
