The Colonox FIT test is the same fecal immunochemical test, also known as immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOB), that healthcare providers use to screen for signs of gastrointestinal disorders. It uses antibodies to measure hemoglobin proteins in the stool, identifying hidden or unseen blood.

The test is simple to use and easy to read. Start by collecting a small sample of fecal material in the provided tube and shake the tube vigorously to mix the sample with the solution. Then, squeeze a few drops of the solution into the test well and wait for the results. A positive test indicates the presence of blood.

What does that mean? Blood in your stool is abnormal and indicates bleeding in your digestive tract. Bleeding is often a sign of disease, such as colitis, diverticulosis, anemia, hemorrhoids, polyps, colorectal cancer, or other conditions that may need treatment.

Healthcare providers commonly use the FIT test to help diagnose these conditions. However, the American College of Gastroenterology also recommends it as one of the primary tools for colorectal cancer screening.

The College recommends yearly FIT tests for adults aged 45 to 75 to reduce pre-cancerous growths and colorectal cancer. Those with a family history of colon cancer or conditions that increase the risk of cancer, such as colitis, may need more regular screening.

It’s essential to note that while the Colonox FIT may be a helpful colon cancer home test kit, it only identifies unseen or hidden blood in your stool. The test doesn’t diagnose any health conditions but can help you track your digestive health. Discuss your test results and any symptoms with your provider for further testing.

Test Parameters

Leukocytes

Leukocytes (leukocyte esterase, simply white blood cells - WBC) are the cells of the immune system that protect the body against infections. It is quite normal for a few white blood cells to be present in the urine. High levels of white blood cells in urine will result in a positive test result, which may suggest an infection, such as a UTI. Positive leukocytes in urine test may also indicate inflammation in the urinary tract.

Nitrite

Normal urine contains chemicals called nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different chemicals called nitrites. Nitrites in urine may signal a urinary tract infection (UTI). However, UTIs can be present despite a negative Nitrite test. The nitrite in urine test also provides an indirect method for early detection of significant bacteriuria (bacteria in urine).

Urobilinogen

Urobilinogen is formed from the reduction of bilirubin, a yellowish substance found in the liver that helps break down red blood cells. Normal urine contains some urobilinogen (up to 1.0 mg/dL). If there is little or no urobilinogen in urine, it can mean the liver isn't working correctly. Too much urine urobilinogen (> 2 mg/dL) may indicate liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, hemolytic anemia, or liver damage due to drugs, etc.

Protein

A protein in urine test measures the concentration of protein excreted in the urine. Proteins, usually found in blood, are substances that are essential for the body to function correctly. Protein can leak into the urine if there is a kidney problem or kidney infection, such as nephrotic syndrome. The presence of protein in the urine is named Proteinuria. A urine protein test is vital to know albumin levels to assess kidney health.

A urine pH test analyzes the acidity or alkalinity of urine. A neutral pH is 7.0. The higher the number, the more basic (alkaline) it is. The lower the number, the more acidic urine is. The pH of urine may change during the day going from acidic pH in the morning to more alkaline in the evening. Urine pH is an important marker for overall health screening. Various conclusions can be drawn about the state of health from the normal urine pH.

Blood

Blood in the urine is not a normal finding, but it is not uncommon and not necessarily a cause for alarm. Your healthcare practitioner will investigate further to determine the source and underlying cause. Blood in urine is termed Hematuria. Several factors can cause Hematuria, including UTI, kidney infection, menstruation, and strenuous exercise.

Specific Gravity

The kidneys' primary function is to maintain a healthy fluid and electrolyte balance. The specific gravity of urine measures the ability of the kidney to concentrate or dilute the urine. Urine specific gravity provides information about an individual's hydration status. Concentrated urine will have a high specific gravity, whereas dilute urine will have a low specific gravity.

Ketone

Ketones are chemicals (a type of acid) made in our liver. Everyone has them, but they're more prevalent in people who fast or are on low-carb/high-fat diets or individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes that inhibit the body's ability to produce sufficient insulin. High levels of ketones in urine (referred to as ketonuria) may indicate insufficient insulin levels and help monitor type 1 diabetes. Keeping track of ketone bodies in urine helps to monitor ketosis when on a keto diet.

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellowish substance made during the body's normal process of breaking down red blood cells. Bilirubin is found in bile, a fluid in your liver that helps you digest food. If your liver is healthy, it will remove most of the bilirubin from your body. If your liver is damaged, bilirubin can leak into the blood and urine. Bilirubin in urine may be a sign of liver disease. Bilirubin levels should be tracked, e.g., using UA strips in liver patients.

Glucose

When blood is filtered in the kidneys, some sugar remains in the fluid that will later become urine. High glucose in the urine, known as glycosuria, is usually the result of abnormally high blood sugar levels. It is important to note that a urine glucose test is not a replacement for a blood glucose test. A Glucose blood test measures the glucose levels in the bloodstream. In contrast, urine glucose test strips measure the amount of glucose in urine secreted by the kidneys.

Test Parameters

Leukocytes

Leukocytes (white blood cells - WBC) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious diseases and foreign invaders. A few white blood cells are normally present in urine and generally yield negative results. When the number of WBCs in urine increases significantly, this screening test will become positive. High levels of WBCs in the urine suggest an infection, such as a UTI.

Nitrite

Normal urine contains chemicals called nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different, similarly named chemicals called nitrite. The presence of Nitrite in urine indicates possible asymptomatic infections caused by nitrate-reducing bacteria, which may be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). To detect UTI, the presence of Leukocytes in urine is also considered. UTI can be present despite a negative Nitrite test. The Nitrite test also provides an indirect method for early detection of significant bacteriuria (bacteria in urine).

Health Facts

most common outpatient infections in the United States (US)

There are over 1 million colorectal cancer survivors due to early detection.

Colon cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosis among men and women in the United States.

A FIT test widely used for at-home colorectal cancer screening shows significant potential in early detection of cancerous conditions.

Regular testing has been shown to decrease advanced-stage colon cancer and GI diseases by 30% in the US.

The American Cancer Society recommends colorectal cancer screening beginning at age 45 for adults at average risk.

The risk for colorectal cancer increases significantly if you have a genetic disposition or a family history.

At-home colorectal cancer screening tests are convenient, private, and cost-effective compared to traditional colonoscopies.

Buy this test!

Okay so I purchased this test and just did it and sadly it is positive for blood in my stool. I was having some issues which is why I purchased it and now I know. Called the doctor today to schedule a colonoscopy. Praying I don’t have colon cancer but at least I know to get checked now. Please, everyone should test themselves because you never know.

Simple enough!

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.

Where to get a stool test?

Stool tests can be obtained through various channels depending on your preference. You can request a stool test from your doctor or a medical clinic if you’re experiencing symptoms or need routine screening. They typically provide a collection kit for you to use at home, which is then sent to a lab for analysis.

Many pharmacies also offer over-the-counter stool test kits, such as those for detecting blood in the stool or other gastrointestinal issues. You can purchase these kits directly and follow the instructions to send the sample to a lab.

Another convenient option is purchasing at-home test kits online from companies like Diagnox. These kits allow you to collect the sample at home and mail it to a lab, making the process simple and private.

In addition, some specialty diagnostic labs offer stool test kits directly through their websites, providing options for testing gut health, microbiomes, or colon cancer screening. Whichever method you choose, make sure to select a reliable, accredited service with clear instructions for sample collection and submission. If in doubt, consulting with a healthcare professional can help guide your decision.

Urinalysis strip (dipstick) is a narrow plastic strip which has several square-shaped pads of different colors attached to it. Each small pad represents a component of the test used to interpret urinalysis. When dipped in the urine, pad colors change in response to the chemical characteristics of the urine. The color changes are noted at specific time intervals and compared against the reference color chart/key.

What does colon cancer poop look like?

Colon cancer can cause noticeable changes in stool, such as blood, which may appear as dark, tar-like, or maroon-colored stools. You may also notice narrow or ribbon-like stools if a tumor is causing an obstruction in the colon. Persistent changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation, are also warning signs. If these changes are ongoing, it's important to seek medical advice.

What are the silent signs of colon cancer?

Silent signs of colon cancer can be easily missed, and occult blood in the stool is a key indicator. Occult blood refers to hidden blood that can’t be seen but is detectable through stool tests. Its presence often points to colon polyps or cancer, even when other symptoms like fatigue or bowel changes aren’t noticeable. Regular screening for occult blood, through tests like FIT or FOBT, is essential for early detection, allowing for prompt treatment before the cancer progresses.
