Good morning from deep freeze NH. As you can see from the photo that trying to keep warm and in front of the stove. Is your tap water killing you? Our tap water is safe as they say.But was wondering if tap water is killing me? I drink a lot of water.I was thinking could this be the cause of my stomach problem? So I switch to bottled water to see if this make any difference? Well it did not.Which I was sort of surprised by this. We are still working on this. How is your tap water there? photo mine

@amadeo it has always been in the water. I assume for disinfectant.....maybe it is chlorine. I should ask the water company.

Our tap water is safe and delicious at home. We drink filtered water and bottled water in Florida. I've read that too much water is as bad as too little.

@amadeo It's worth a shot. I hope it helps. Water is good for us, but not too much. I drink about 4 to 5 glasses a day, sometimes less, sometimes more. I never force myself to drink it. A gentleman here drinks a cup of hot water first thing every morning. I drink a 10-12 ounce glass of water first thing every morning to replenish the organs after sleeping, before I even think of coffee. If your stomach still hurts, let your physician know immediately.

When I lived in the city - there was a special water filter at my residence - so I felt safer drinking the tap water. There is no filter at my home here in the country, so I boil the tap water before drinking it.

We often drink purified water just to make sure its safe for drinking and as for our tap water , nothing seems to be wrong with it. I think it is safe but still we prefer to buy purified ones. You must be having a sensitive stomach. I wonder what causes your stomach to ache.

@amadeo well 7 glasses in a day is not too much some even drink more than 7 glasses in a day. I bet it is about moderation and not to drink 3 to 4 glasses in a row.

We have safe tap water. I have heard recently that too much water will give you stomach problems including heart burn. So that is something to consider speaking with your doctor about.
