Water-come On!

I guess no more drinking from the tap for me. But the filtered refrig. H2Ois way downstairs in the kitchen!!!

Do you react differently to the tap water upstairs than you do downstairs? The reason I ask is because I am trying to figure something out at my house.

I have a well. I have an expensive filtration system. The only water in the house that smells or is discolored is the upstairs cold water. It smells like sulphur and is tinted brown. Downstairs sources are totally clean.

I have talked to two other people in totally different towns with the same scenario. Upstairs smelss of sulphur downstairs is fine.

I think the vertical plumbing lines have become home to a fungus. I think this is may have contributed to my candida. I don't know how to test this theory though.

Simple explanation is that the gases just float up through the water ... the filtration system might get rid of solids but not the gasses that are produced.

I was raised in the country with our own well. Drank our well water all my life as did the rest of my family. Didn't do us any harm.

How do you know ? Most of us would have said the same about our mom's homemade bread until we got diagnosed with celiac disease.

Your presumably here for a reason, my celiac disease was triggered from well water which doesn't mean it would never have developed but saying it never did any harm is a bit of a stretch.

When we lived at our last house city water and swimming pool. We were having a hard time holding the chlorine level in the pool. We noticed that the tap water smelled of chlorine and tested it ~ the level was higher than the swimming pool we dumped about $300 worth of chlorine into! We had to add another chemical to the pool water to keep the chlorine in it.

We now have a very deep well, reverse osmosis system, and water filtration system.

By the way if you drink bottled water from Nestle, you are drinking water from Michigan IMO practically stolen from Michigan.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
