Hi all, I’ve recently had a lot of weight loss, I have ulcerative colitis which isn’t active at the moment. I’ve just had a fit test come back as 33.20 ug/g. Last year I was diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis, should I be worried about this result. I’ve just come off a feeding tube because of the weight loss, all I know is that I have a lot of inflammation that is mainly in fundus area, nausea vomiting, loose bowels. Thanks in advance xx

  • Hi  It may well be that your existing issues are causing the fit test result. Has your doctor arranged for a colonoscopy to check things out? Only 1 in 10 colonoscopies results in a cancer diagnosis but it’s a good way of seeing what could be causing your problems 

    Take care
