I know, right? If I get sick again this time, I'm doing the thing where you smear poop on the card or something LOL I mean, it's like 88% accurate or something. I think that should be close enough and better than nothing.

@krisingle1 People can only substitute this test for a colonoscopy if you have never had a polyp removed. The DNA from a removed polyp remains in your system forever, giving a potentially false positive from the poop smear test because once you’ve had a polyp, the smear test will always be positive.
