The “Dread Gazebo” is one of those inside jokes that everybody in the D&D/RPG community is supposed to know, but that makes it really hard to actually learn. Everyone references it, but nobody actually tells the original story. I played D&D for years before I got up the nerve to ask why everyone made jokes about gazebos.
me watching incredibly gory gross stuff: *yawns*
me watching something that’s giving me second hand embarrassment: nope nope NOPE i’m out g2g i’ll be in the other room for the next 5 hours i can’t do this nOPE
The man had been a home-brewer and was regularly exposed to the brewer’s yeast,
the fungus used to ferment beer. He likely had an antibiotics treatment
that had killed off his original intestinal flora and replaced it with
brewer’s yeast.
From then on, carb-rich foods such as bread or bagels
would ferment after he ate them, making an alcoholic brew in his
gut within the next 24 hours.
He took daily anti-fungal
medications for six weeks to kill off the yeast and followed a very
strict no sugar/carb/alcohol diet, until eventually he was back to
normal.
