S2E90. Do You Really Have IBS? How Men Can Get a Faster, Clearer Diagnosis in 2026
Have you been told you have IBS…
but deep down you’re not 100% convinced?
You’re not alone.
Many men start a new year stuck in diagnostic limbo — unsure whether their IBS diagnosis is accurate, incomplete, or missing something important.
In this episode, Glenn breaks down how men can kickstart 2026 with clarity, whether that means confirming IBS, reassessing an old diagnosis, or finally understanding what should have been checked in the first place.
You’ll discover:
• Why IBS is often a diagnosis of exclusion
• The most common gaps in how men are diagnosed
• What questions actually matter when speaking to your GP or specialist
• How to avoid years of trial-and-error and unnecessary restriction
• What “a good diagnosis” really looks like for men
This isn’t about self-diagnosing or spiralling down Google rabbit holes.
It’s about becoming informed, confident, and prepared — so you can move forward without doubt hanging over you.
