Beyond Bathroom Blues
Welcome to Beyond Bathroom Blues, a podcast for men living with IBS.
Hosted by CharlieJeane, a Registered Dietitian (RD), Sports Nutritionist (MSc), and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist — alongside Glenn, an Army veteran who has lived with IBS since 2003, the show brings together professional expertise and real-life experience.
Our aim is to meet men where they are on their IBS journey and provide calm, practical insight to help them better understand their symptoms, reduce overwhelm, and regain a sense of control.
Inside each episode, CharlieJeane shares over 12 years of experience supporting men with IBS, while Glenn offers perspective from managing symptoms day-to-day in real life, alongside the mindset shifts that support long-term IBS management.
Together, we focus on clarity over confusion, understanding over guesswork, and sustainable strategies — rather than quick fixes.

Have you been told you have IBS…

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.
