Hannek, I pretty much agree with you. I'm always skeptical of anecdotal evidence because it is so easy to have it lead down the wrong path. The thing is, when you are trying to find out what is making your body go crazy, it becomes extremely personal, and you don't have the luxury of pursuing strictly scientific research. You have to figure out what you can with the best information you can get and make the best decisions you can.
Just because your suspicions can't be proven through the standard , doesn't mean they aren't true. Best of luck with your efforts.
