Those tests are obtainable from a PCP here in the states.

If they come back positive, there’s a ton of reasons why and it will result in a diagnostic colonoscopy. Working as a non clinical person in GI, take advantage of the preventative screen at age 45. A colonoscopy is the best way to know what’s happening, but if that’s uncomfortable, get that first one and then the home test every year.

The bowel prep is the worst part. Chill it and grab a straw.

I’ve been told by multiple folks that I’ve made scheduling a colonoscopy almost fun.
