I wasn't thinking of your comment when I wrote that :( (And I've been drinking filtered or bottled water mostly.)
I'm desperate for solutions at this point, and anything that might help I'm willing to try (within reason). I mean, I've heard everything from "my cousin had West Nile Virus, then she developed celiac disease" to "Did you eat something bad?" And I'm frustrated by this whole thing (obviously...)
And I understand that people are trying to express sympathy and empathy and all those things humans do, and I shouldn't be a callous jerk and throw that off, but it's like, sometimes things come across as "off the wall suggestion" and that's OK, because like I said, desperate (because all the obvious things have been tried and rejected), but sometimes it's more like the person doesn't quite get that there's this thing called "difference in scope and magnitude" (yet they're trying to be nice... so I shouldn't be a jerk...)

So it's all a big frustrating mess.
