I agree FIT kits are great especially to ease your mind if you're worried about colon cancer.
But the FIT kit can be difficult to use with two main problems. It's like bobbing for apples only much less fun. You can't urinate or it ruins the sample. I don't know about you guys but I find it almost impossible to avoid urinating when defecating.
And with that happy mental image have a nice day everyone! And remember to eat lots of fibre.
- dv_dt 8y agoStill seems better than a colonoscopy experience if it's as effective a screen.
- lambda 8y ago> I find it almost impossible to avoid urinating when defecating Can't you just urinate first, flush, and then defecate?
- ASalazarMX 8y agoFishing out poop from the toilet? No. Buy latex gloves and poop in your hand like every self-respecting primate.

- modbait 8y ago...then fling it right into that envelope!
- Doxin 8y agoThe sample is not allowed to get wet at all.
- lambda 8y agoOK, so urinate first into a toilet, then defecate into the container. The point is, it's pretty hard to urinate with an empty bladder.
- simulate 8y agoThe FIT kits I've received have tissue that you use to keep the stool out of the toilet and you can urinate around the tissue. Here's a somewhat graphic video that explains how to use it (this may be NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOhjxfkf4tw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOhjxfkf4tw
