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?

http://thegfcfcookbook.blogspot.com/2009/12/every-celiacs-nightmare.html

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.

delusional.
paranoid.
and that's if its true.

i also like how noone engaged with him, and the waters closed after him.

*snrk* WTF?

I still don't know all that much about the symptoms of celiac disease. If you don't mind, ignoring all the amazingly crazy [and, wow, his website is difficult to read], are the symptoms he's implying in any way connected to reality?

His definition of neuropathy is certainly not the same as the [ulnar] neuropathy I experience, although that could be due to lazy use of language and locality.

Well for bat-shit crazy, you can't do better than the Interwebs. Only thing about this situation that could almost make me smile.

Oh, dude, R, been meaning to link you this - apparently Big Booty Bread Co. (http://www.bigbootybreadco.com/Big_Booty/Bakery.html) in Manhattan offers gluten-free items because they use yucca flour rather than wheat. Thought it might be up your alley. Haven't been there yet so I can't attest to the quality, but I keep hearing good things about the place.

I like how he says his spell checker stopped working. How does a spell checker cease to function, exactly?

But, dude. What a fucked up story. I don't have celiacs, but am diabetic. I would be beyond livid if, for example, something contained sugar that claimed not to. It's a fear, actually.

I read that earlier and all I could think was, "what?" Lol

Because of malabsorption caused by intestinal damage, the symptoms celiac disease can cause can be quite varied, and it wouldn't surprise me if some forms of mental illness could result.

B12 deficiency can cause dementia and celiacs have problems getting enough B12. That said, I have no idea if what's meant by "dementia" in the deficiency bears any resemblance to what we're seeing here.

This guy just reads like a garden-variety crank, and it seems celiac is the least of his problems.

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).

[marcmagus]

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.

[rm.livejournal.com]

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.

Well, if you ever decide you want a new career....

My favorite part of the spell checker comment is... nothing was spelled wrong. He has plural/possessive issues, but spell checkers don't catch that.

Didn't you know? Neuropathy is sexy and gives you SUPER SPY POWERS.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get my tinfoil hat.

[rm.livejournal.com]

It's like A BAD FANFICTION.

Hey, if it's a story, you totally don't need science, right?

Okay, that may be the GREATEST SENTENCE ON THE INTERNET. EVAR.

And that scares me. A lot.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

No way. I'm sure there's some really impressive Glenn Beck-flavored crazy that outdoes this. Possibly only just...

You've met Timecube, right?

And http://gloria0817.net/ is not so much with the sane either; she has this epic battle with GoDaddy because she refused to contact the .co.uk registry after her divorce and subsequent name change.

Well, you don't have to be left out. He seems to sell 'sugar-free' candy, too!
