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. . . . .

: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?

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....

      The first set of results show two positive results for celiac disease, so at the very least it looks like you could have it, or at the least NCGS.   Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.      
    • Scott Adams
      Elevated tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and they are a key biomarker used in its diagnosis. However, there are some rare instances where elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in conditions other than celiac disease. While these cases are not common, they have been documented in the literature. Below are some examples and references to studies or reviews that discuss these scenarios:  1. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS)    - NCGS typically does not cause elevated tTG-IgA levels, as it is not an autoimmune condition. However, some individuals with NCGS may have mild elevations in tTG-IgA due to intestinal inflammation or other factors, though this is not well-documented in large studies.    - Reference: Catassi, C., et al. (2013). *Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten-Related Disorders*. Nutrients, 5(10), 3839–3853. [DOI:10.3390/nu5103839](https://doi.org/10.3390/nu5103839)  2. Autoimmune Diseases    - Elevated tTG-IgA levels have been reported in other autoimmune conditions, such as type 1 diabetes, autoimmune hepatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This is thought to be due to cross-reactivity or polyautoimmunity.    - Reference: Sblattero, D., et al. (2000). *The Role of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase in the Diagnosis and Management of Celiac Disease*. Autoimmunity Reviews, 1(3), 129–135. [DOI:10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3](https://doi.org/10.1016/S1568-9972(01)00022-3)  3. Chronic Liver Disease    - Conditions like chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis can sometimes lead to elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to increased intestinal permeability or immune dysregulation.    - Reference: Vecchi, M., et al. (2003). *High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Role for Gluten-Free Diet?* Gastroenterology, 125(5), 1522–1523. [DOI:10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gastro.2003.08.031)  4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)    - Some patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may have elevated tTG-IgA levels due to intestinal inflammation and damage, though this is not common.    - Reference: Walker-Smith, J. A., et al. (1990). *Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease*. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 10(3), 389–391. [DOI:10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020](https://doi.org/10.1097/00005176-199004000-00020)  5. Infections and Parasites    - While infections (e.g., giardiasis) are more commonly associated with false-positive tTG-IgA results, chronic infections or parasitic infestations can sometimes lead to elevated levels due to mucosal damage.    - Reference: Rostami, K., et al. (1999). *The Role of Infections in Celiac Disease*. European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 11(11), 1255–1258. [DOI:10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010](https://doi.org/10.1097/00042737-199911000-00010)  6. Cardiac Conditions    - Rarely, heart failure or severe cardiovascular disease has been associated with elevated tTG-IgA levels, possibly due to gut ischemia and increased intestinal permeability.    - Reference: Ludvigsson, J. F., et al. (2007). *Celiac Disease and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study*. American Heart Journal, 153(6), 972–976. [DOI:10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ahj.2007.03.019)  Key Points: - Elevated tTG-IgA levels are highly specific for celiac disease, and in most cases, a positive result strongly suggests celiac disease. - Other conditions causing elevated tTG-IgA are rare and often accompanied by additional clinical findings. - If celiac disease is suspected, further testing (e.g., endoscopy with biopsy) is typically required for confirmation. If you’re looking for more specific studies, I recommend searching PubMed or other medical databases using terms like "elevated tTG-IgA non-celiac" or "tTG-IgA in non-celiac conditions." Let me know if you’d like help with that!

      I called zero water and they state their filters do not contain gluten or gluten containing ingredients. 
    • trents
      I agree. Doesn't look like you have celiac disease. Your elevated DGP-IGG must be due to something else. And it was within normal at that after your gluten challenge so it is erratic and doesn't seem to be tied to gluten consumption.

      Hello! I want to share my situation. I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching one year ago. I thought I could have celiac disease so I did the blood tests. The results were ambiguous for me so I saw the doctor and he said I needed to do tests to check whether I had any parasites as well. It turned out I had giardiasis. After treating it my symptoms didn't disappear immediately. And I decided to start a gluten free diet despite my doctor said I didn't have it. After some time symptoms disappeared but that time it wasn't unclear whether I'd had them because of eliminating gluten or that parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. Giardiasis also damages the small intestine. The only way to check this was to start eating bread again as I thought. Now about my results.   These are my first test results (almost a year ago) when I had symptoms: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months. Symptoms disappeared. And I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   Nowadays I didn't have any symptoms except tiredness but I think it's just work. I think it was this parasite because two years ago, for example, and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten food. But I'm still not sure especially because the Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG results are sometimes high. What do you think? @Scott Adams
