He added that he and another colleague found in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Current Biologyopens in a new tab or window that the anti-emetic domperidone, which "works on the stomach but barely crosses the blood-brain barrier," reduced disgust avoidance. "The fact that it worked suggests the stomach itself is involved in disgust avoidance behavior," Dalmaijer said.

An off-label use of domperidone is that it can induce lactation in women who are not pregnant. This is useful for adopting mothers. It occured to me that new mothers have to be less disgusted with dealing with stool, urine, and spit-ups.

I doubt it makes them less conservative.

Manual evacuation of the bowels? Like every single day?
Humm-idda-humm-idda....I am “not qualified” for that level of personal care. I would have to pass on this very lucrative way of making money.

They needed to spend money on a study to figure this out? Before I became an RN, I trained as a nurses aide, just to make sure I could handle the gross stuff, before I enrolled in nursing school.
