In order to determine what type is best for them, they should probably discuss it with their physician. Whether it be a gastroenterologist or their primary care physician.
A person that's of average risk can use the other tests ... a FIT test, a barium enema, a Cologuard ... The occult stool for blood test, the fecal test, is again out of favor. The guidelines are trying to get people to do whatever they can to be tested. The gold standard again, is a colonoscopy; most people would like to direct people to have that done. But if people aren't willing to do that, if there are some cost restraints, if there is something related to people's fear of the colonoscopy, of having sedation, then by all means, anything to try to get people to get tested would be preferable than nothing at all.
