Alice the Camel Jun 2022 8:18am, 30 Jun 2022 11,403 posts	0 Alice the Camel I can’t wait for my poo stick to arrive! As GimmeMedals said, there’s a family history and I’m getting towards the age where they started getting diagnosed (60s). I’ve asked my GP a few times considering the history but been told I must wait. It’s been 9 years since I last tested when we lived in Belgium - they test from age 50 there (but it’s not a free health service).

bigleggy Jun 2022 8:45am, 30 Jun 2022 7,006 posts	0 bigleggy At what age should I be expecting a poo stick in the post ? The only time I've ever given a poo sample was for a private health assessment work paid for. Is this an NHS thing or are you lot Bupa types ?
