I am scheduled to see a gastroenterologist in june. in the meantime, what tests or screening can i ask for to rule out a bleeding ulcer?

FIT: Fecal immonoblot testing (fit) is a stool kit you can do at home testing for microscopic blood in your stool. If you had any bleeding, like that from a bleeding ulcer, it would be positive.
