An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Trying loperamide (generic name for Imodium) to help with IBS. When I have to poop frequently and it always feels like there's more in there, it can ruin my day. So I finally went out and got some of this stuff and it seems to help.

I suppose I have IBS - got tested for everything else and it all came back negative. Thankfully, I'm not celiac as I love bread. Got blood tests, ultrasound, colonoscopy (horrible to prep for that), everything seems OK. Doctor shrugged and told me, "it's IBS I guess".

Hoping to learn to manage it because I'm trying to get in shape. Not being able to eat because I feel disgusting is derailing me.

Happy pooping, everybody.

Psyllium and flax seed meal are on my list to try. I'm OK for electrolytes, according to my blood tests. Even though I'm lactose intolerant, yogurt is fine, so that's my source for probiotics. Good suggestions!

A breakfast with kefir, psyllium, flax seed, raisins, oats and coffee and you set up for a good solid poop.

Psyllium is also a prebiotic where kefir is strong in probiotics.

A good balance of soluble and insoluble fibers is key.

Unfortunately, kefir is something that I can't handle. Odd, because yogurt is fine.
