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

Personal anecdote and not a doctor, but mine went away, or rather is managed, with weight loss assisted with GLP-1.
In retrospect I wasn't being honest with myself in regards to how much I was eating or the quality of said food.
When I first started GLP-1, my appetite (really cravings) mostly went away and junk food beyond a tiny handful made me incredibility sick with flu-like symptoms.
Now that I'm at my goal weight, still taking a maintenance dose of GLP-1, I can cheat a bit more without side effects, but a burger and fries or a pizza will absolutely trigger my IBS to this day if the meal is over ~500 calories.
Eating clean and not overindulging has caused the opposite problem. I have to supplement fiber or I won't poop for a week. Its not uncomfortable constipation either, there just isn't a lot of waste there to eliminate.
Good luck on your pooping journey!
edit: Also seconding a bidet!
I've heard so many good things about GLP-1.
I find if I stay away from junk food for a while, and try it again, I realize how terrible it makes me feel. Bloated, or sugar crashing, or tired. That's not even IBS-related, it just has that effect on everybody.
