Suppose you are a diabetic, and are putting out excess glucose in your urine. Let’s also suppose you have some kind of yeast infection in your bladder. Could the yeast ferment enough glucose to produce an…expressable…quantity of carbon dioxide? Is the plumming capable of producing gas? ---

Apparently, this was one of the side-effects of my dad’s hernia, before he had it fixed. ---

Pneumaturia (air in the urinary tract) is almost always the result of an unnatural communication between said tract and the GI tract, or vaginal canal. ---

Oddly enough, just last week we just did a Gastroview enema on a fellow that had this exact condition: a colovesicular fistula. I believe this condition is most often the result of radiation therapy to the immediate area. As for the OP…I’ve never heard of it originating from a diabetic source. ---

Y’know, I could have sat down and thought about **stuff** for some time. Just sitting around and thinking about stuff. And I’m pretty sure it would have taken a loong long time to come up with the OP’s question. ---

> [@drastic\_quench](#): > > Ha! > > “We will fight your ignorance even if we have to hold you down and blow dickfarts in your face!” I really really wish I hadn’t checked back into this thread. I have a mental image of a cartoony elephant sneezing through his trunk at some poor guy on the ground. The trunk has single-node waves rippling through it from the force of the air currents. Now replace trunk with penis. Gah! Dickfart was not a word I wanted to see today. Or ever, really. _runs off to develop memory-loss technology, or find a rufie, whichever comes first_ ---

My coworker are looking at me funny. It’s hard to silently stifle laughter. Can we change the SDMB slogan to this: “We will fight your ignorance even if we have to hold you down and blow dickfarts in your face!” That’s a petition I’d sign.
