I think she makes some good points, generally. I find about 5% of this unsolicited advice is potentially useful, and 95% falls into her description. I know people mean well, but don't see the bigger picture SIGZ identifies, as a form of patronising and ableism.
Like most people these days, I have Google and know how to use it. I know how to sift through and sort the well-meaning but ill founded "advice" from the sound information with some empirical basis. I have had people telling me that perhaps I need a gluten free diet, have I tried that? I respond (truthfully) that as someone with coeliac disease, I am entirely gluten free and have been for a long time. Or they tell me that as some prescription worked wonders for them, I should try it. But we are all different and I am not them.
I get where SIGZ is coming from. It can be very wearisome at times.
