This fits the bill and applies to more than studies. Someone I've dated was actually gluten-free for a decade, only to find out it was because she was mis-diagnosed in some official doctor's assessment.
They basically ended up saying "we got it wrong" after like 12 years of her thinking gluten was poison to her.
I knew it was bullshit because we loved grilled cheese sandwiches, but she'd say she shouldn't eat them... but guess what, if you can eat gluten and feel fine the next day, you're probably not gluten intolerant.
