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.

S3E108. Why Your Gut Reacts the Second You Eat (It's Not What You Think)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You eat something. Within minutes your gut kicks off — bloating, cramps, straight to the bathroom.
So you cut that food out. Then it happens again. And again. Before long you've got a list of foods as long as your arm and you're still suffering — anxious around meals, missing out on food you love, and no closer to understanding why.
If you've been eliminating foods for months and nothing is improving, there's a reason. And it's not the reason you think.
In this episode, CharlieJeane reveals the hidden gut mechanism that most men with IBS have never heard of. The same one that confuses IBS coaches, gurus, and even medical professionals every single day.
Tune in to discover:
Why reacting within minutes of eating doesn't mean the food is the trigger
What's actually happening inside your gut when symptoms strike
Why your growing list of "safe foods" could be making things worse
The truth behind your flare-ups — and what to do about it
If IBS is shrinking your world one meal at a time, this episode will change the way you see your symptoms for good.
