most hilarious wacked out theory I've heard on the Internet in AGES

[rm]

Remember yesterday when I posted that thing about the scam celiac bread?

Okay, now scroll down in comments until the "spy guy" starts talking about how intelligence agencies love people with celiac disease and why.

HAhahahahahaahahahah.

The Internet is so fucking WEIRD.

It's relatively common for celiacs to have what some people term "gluten fog" in the sense that we feel a bit slow and stupid in a head cold (but without the sinus thing in some cases) sort of way.

So vaguely he's talking about something kinda related to symptoms, but the words are all wrong (because hey, I do have neuropathy issues too, and the thing he is talking about would not be those).

Is that similar to/the same as the "brain fog" reported by many sufferers of chronic pain and/or "fibro fog"?

I can't even conceive of the mind that can go from that to "that's kind of like hypnosis" to "that means you'll have super-memory while you're suffering it" while referring to poor short-term memory a moment later and not realize there's anything weird going on.

I suspect so. I don't have fibro, but a lot of people with celiac do, so it may in some cases quite literally be the same thing.
