Connection between colon problems x arthritis?

[Guest guest]

Ever since I got bit by a nasty spider I have been having problems

with drinking water. Even the smallest amount of some kind of

bacteria in it cause me lower abdomen pain and arthritis. Right now I

am boiling all my water, but it is a problem going away from home as

even bottled water and re-constituted concentrated fruit juice are

most often (but not always) full of bacteria. Otherwise, I have no

problems so long as I don't ingest some bacteria laced water.
