Welcome back to Bathroom Break -- The best IBS podcast on the internet! ;)

On today's episode, Matt (@glutenfreestreetgang) and Christine (@myibslife) are discussing their weirdest, wildest, potentially uncommon IBS triggers they've discovered over their years of living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

These unhinged IBS triggers include:

• Sparkling water
• Getting TOO hungry
• Being on airplanes...?
• TikTok dances
• & MORE

What are your weirdest IBS treatments? Let us know on Instagram!

A few breakout quotes from this episode include:

"I feel like stress is one of the most annoying IBS triggers because it’s just so hard to get to the root cause and fix it. Life is just always stressful for so many reasons, let alone sh*tting your pants like once a week... You know?” — Christine (⁠@myibslife⁠)

“You heard it here first guys — Airplanes are the newest IBS trigger” — Matt (⁠@glutenfreestreetgang⁠)

"One time I tried learning a really high intensity TikTok dance and I gave myself a flare -- And I remember I was like ‘...This is my lowest point.’” — Christine (⁠⁠@myibslife⁠⁠)

"I really hope that someday when our planet is dead and aliens are looking through the ruins of society, they find a hard drive with this podcast on it and listen to it like “what the f*ck are they talking about?” — Matt (⁠⁠@glutenfreestreetgang⁠⁠)

Welcome back to Bathroom Break -- The best IBS podcast on the internet! ... Did ya miss us? ;)

On today's episode, Matt (@glutenfreestreetgang) and Christine (@myibslife) are playing the beloved game of "smash or pass" ... But with common treatments or "cures" for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Here's what we came up with:

• Miralax is your toxic ex that really doesn’t do much for you
• Reducing stress is so attainable yet just a bit too far out of reach most times
• "Eating healthier" is a toss up
• We are total haters when it comes to probiotics
• We’re sluts for yoga
• And you’ll have to listen to hear the rest :)

What are your "smash or pass" IBS treatments? Let us know on Instagram!

“Gut flora gives me the ick” — Matt (@glutenfreestreetgang)

"I feel like a lot of people are going to hate us for this episode" - Christine (@myibslife)

The internet is both a beautiful, and a terrifying, place to be.

Welcome back to Bathroom Break -- The best IBS podcast on the internet! ;)

For today's episode, Matt (@glutenfreestreetgang) and Christine (@myibslife) scoured the internet for the WORST IBS advice they could possibly find on social media... And were able to fill an entire 35 minute episode only after 30 minutes of research. Yikes.

A summary of the bad advice in question:

• The Whole30 Diet
• The Bloom Nutrition Phenomenon
• "Deworming" Yourself
• An All Carnivore Diet
• Eliminating Tap Water
• & More... Unfortunately

As mentioned in the previous Bathroom Break episode, "Is social media the best place for IBS advice?" there are both pros and cons about the uprise in discussions about Irritable Bowel Syndrome on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and all social platforms. Just always be cautious of who you're following, take advice only from credible sources and ALWAYS ask your doctor before taking any new supplements or medications!

A few breakout quotes from this episode include:

“I dont trust anything that says the word ‘superfood.’ What does that mean? Like, chocolate cake is a ‘superfood,’ ok? I will be taking no questions at this time.” — Matt (@glutenfreestreetgang)

"Take it from 2 people on social media…. Don’t take advice from social media — Matt (@glutenfreestreetgang)
"From your 2 favorite dumb*sses on the internet, just trust us on this^^" - Christine (@myibslife)
