A member asked:

Will mucus in stool cause a false positive for blood in a fobt stool test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: But depending on the test method there are other causes of false positive. Did you do a guiac test of FIT test. FIT test has fewer false positives, but it only detects colonic bleeds.
