When I read of this, it never crossed my mind that she might be Pentecostal. There are a lot of "radical" Christians out there.

Honestly, when I read it, I never thought she could be anything but pentecostal. Pentecostals have mostly a completely different view of fasting than mainstream Christianity.
Off the top of my head, I can cite 7 cases in my past of people doing extreme fasts, and in my now, 20+ years of mainstream Christianity, I know of none.
I know I can't prove this and some will think it's just part of my anti-pentecostal bias, but for me, it's an easy call.
