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.

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
