“What the Heck is Spirochetosis?”

In this episode of The Poopism™ Podcast, host Barbie talks with Noah about his journey navigating gut issues that started early in life. After years of being dismissed and misunderstood, Noah finally found support in his 30s—along with a few game-changing tools that transformed his daily routine: a squatty potty and a Japanese-style bidet. Together, they explore how small changes, persistent self-advocacy, and staying curious about your symptoms can lead to real breakthroughs.

From managing IBS flare-ups to the importance of getting a colonoscopy, this episode sheds light on the kind of gut health conversations that don’t happen nearly enough.

💬 In this episode:

* Speaking up about gut pain—and being taken seriously

* Why Noah became a bidet believer

* The overlooked power of toilet posture * What a colonoscopy can reveal (including spirochetosis)

* And, finally being able to travel and have fun without fear

If you’ve ever felt stuck, dismissed, or just tired of digestive discomfort, this episode is full of practical insight, lived experience, and encouragement to keep seeking answers.
