    So almost a week ago I bought a Brita filter pitcher. I've been using it a lot and ever since then, I've been having some stomach pains and have been going to the bathroom more than usual. I've been drinking a lot more water and cut down to about one cup of soda a day. I'm thinking about going back to bottled water and seeing if I start to feel better. What should I do??

    The increased water would cause more bathroom visits (yes, I mean number 2) but I am not sure about the pain.

    Maybe it's not used to not having all the added metals (among other things) to the water?

    The pain could be from drinking too much water on an empty stomach, possibly. But I guess it's better to be safe than sorry- if it lasts for a few more days, i'd go to a doctor.

    Is there anything you've been doing or eaten different lately other than the filtered water?

    bottled water is filtered water that is just sold in a bottle.
