Does anyone have experience with an at home occult fecal blood test? Like this one? https://a.co/d/09tlPYOZ

I took one today as I have had to travel for work for the last 2 weeks and my movements went from 1 good type 4 a day to a type 5-7. I thought maybe it was just a fluke since traveling for 2 weeks and not sleeping well and unable to control my food options as well turned my system on its head. The test came back positive for blood despite no visible blood. I am scheduled for my first 4 week Skyrizi injection this weekend so I guess I'll see how I do after the injection and retest next week. If I don't improve, I'll reach out to my doc.

I know these tests are not Dr prescribed and I'm not sure on their sensitivity but I wanted to see if someone else had used them before.

Guys, guys it happened! This is the only group of people who will understand the glorious feeling of a solid type 4, clean wipe poop after a 15 month flare!!!! I wanted to jump for joy in the bathroom.

Those of you who are struggling, please know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Advocate for your health and keep on pushing on. It was a long journey for me to be where I am now. Hoping to have a calprotectin test in a month to confirm remission, but based on my average movements, things are looking good!!!
