• “FOBT uses a chemical reaction to check for a protein found in red blood cells. Some foods, medicines and vitamins can interfere with the FOBT, causing an inaccurate result. For this reason, you will need to avoid certain foods for 2 to 3 days before the test, such as rare or red meat, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe, cauliflower, horseradish, mushrooms, parsnips, radishes, turnips and zucchini. Large amounts of citrus fruits and vitamin C — more than 250 mg per day — and certain medicines, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), should also be avoided, as they can also interfere with the test. The FIT test is not affected by foods, so there are no dietary restrictions.”–Livestrong.com
