I was a kid, but still remember my aunt barphing in my grandma's kitchen sink--all the while running the garbage disposal. Gross! She was a nurse and still thought this was a brilliant idea. :blink:

Actually, that IS a heinous, but nonetheless brilliant idea. Let's face it - - vomit is, after all, the stuff that garbage disposals are made for. And the sink is elevated for the Erect Vomiters.... . . . ...yup, gotta go with the elevating toilet seat. Like a sudden sink-with-garbage-disposal right in yer loo!

Moi?

POeter! Ya gotta clean up barph, and sing lonely sonnets, and swab decks. .. . .an' I forget what else.. . .. ...

I'm thinking something like the chairs that hair stylists use.

Um, no. Waaaaaaaaaay too slow. Can you imagine running to the toilet, a large barph eminent, and having to crank the bowl up to chest height with your foot? A nightmare, at least with the speed my digestive system expels things. Gotta be a button - -a big one, right on the wall where you stand... . . . .. .and it's gotta move that sucker up FAST.

However, what about the spinning option that these hairstylists' chairs have? Any way we could incorporate this? If you hit the bowl from the side, perhaps, you could have it centREd. . . .

I was perusing some of the other threads and instead of reading "Am I Barking up the Wrong Tree" . . . I read . . . you know where this is going . . . "Am I Barphing up the Wrong Tree" . . . and thought . . .they're probably standing when they barph up a tree . . . followed by . . . I hope they can put an arch on that barph or it's coming right back at them.

Boomerang barf. :rolleyes:

OK . . . obviously too much vomit talk.

I was wondering what the correct tree for barfing is. Maybe a pine tree type. Low branches, lots of pine needles to fall off and cover the barf.

Obviously, this button must be on the doorjam so it can be pushed on the way in. Any more time spent on it could end in disaster. :unsure:

Righto. How about installing a bunch of them -- one on the arm of your couch, one on your nightstand, on your car dashboard for the times you're dashing into the house to barph, holding it through the garage, the kitchen.. . . . . . ...

:lol:

Remember the Flowbee? We need something like that. The mouthpiece could look similar to what the Top Gun pilots wear. The suction would instantly carry everything away from the face and dispose contents immediately. No clean up!

especially when you consider that the males with the penii can often not even meet the target accurately

Do NOT even get me started on THAT one!!

Nope, the actual barph tree is a ginko tree. We have them on some city streets in DC and in the late summer they drop these little, baby ginko seeds/fruits. They drop a lot of them. Tons and tons all over the sidewalks. And they rot and smell exactly like barph!

Unfortunately they are very tall trees so barphing up 'em wood be nigh impossible. Of course it's only the female trees that produce the smelly fruit. The male trees are highly prized for their stately elegance and refined manners. Insert uppity tree snorphing sound here. So only the males trees are planted now. They have talked about ways to "discourage" the female trees mating habits, including chemicals and little chastity belts for the flower heads. But the trees are too tall to make that practical.

mushroom Proficient

Haha, I know those trees. Those fruits are supposedly to attract the males who are well acquainted with barph from their college beer-drinking days. Maybe you did not go to college?? :unsure: Some females will do whatever it takes to attract some males :rolleyes:

Hmmmm.. . . . ..gotta make the field easier to steer from, methinks.. .. ...take all temptation away, and those stinky female flowers would slow production, methinks. . . . .

They have talked about ways to "discourage" the female trees mating habits, including chemicals and little chastity belts for the flower heads.

:lol: Perhaps psychiatric arborists are needed to be called in.. ... . . .. ..arboreal promiscuity could be a field specialty, and there may be well-documented methods to address this - - approaches like giving the male trees horrific leaf trims/prunings, or manipulating the male trees' appearance to have them seem thin, needy, lacking any material wealth.... . . .. and absolutely discouraging the male species from standing quietly, branches moving slightly in the breeze, and listening, listening, listening, to the constant, confessional female tree-chatter around them. BIG thing to discourage.

Yep, that would be a great start.

Are we done barphing now? Perhaps we can start a new, more upbeat topic: coughing, snotty noses, menstrual cramps, carbuncles?

"Hacking up" tis really the best part of a cold or phloo.

Hope it ain't strep, Leeeesargh!

I would rather work on an attachment to the toilet that raises the bowl, quickly, to, say, chest level. DH's nose won't clog, Shrooomie's knees would be saved..... . . . ..one could raise it up for easier cleaning. Though ill users would have to be certain to lower the bowl after barphing - - not such a good thing for anyone racing in with sudden bowel issues. Helluva thing, managing to climb up to a chest-high bowl.. . . . . ...

Hmmm. . . . . . ...may need some refining.. .. . . .. :rolleyes:

Now it's my turn to join the barf brigade but I also have D. So I need a bucket and the toilet. I HATE flu season!!!!!! Now that's Peoter is back I suggest that Kareeng and Em become his Queens (with perks).

Gotta run....... literally!

It's a pherry fenomenon. Groups of people end up sitting in the same booth. After a couple years of seeing the same group of people every day for half an hour you end up knowing each other pretty well.

There are similar groups of ladies who have bonded over putting on makeup and doing their hair in the ladies room.

I don't think there are any mens room groups....

You have faerie friends? Do they have sparkly wings? Magic dust? Do they know Tinkerbelle?

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
