Have you ever had this test using a home kit?	BLDSTOL1	1 Yes		This is also called a fecal immunochemical test or F.I.T. or a guaiac-based fecal occult blood test also known as gFOBT. The FIT test uses antibodies to detect blood in the stool. The gFOBT uses a chemical called guaiac to detect blood in the stool.	250
