Since 1994, in my mid-fifties, I have been allergic to tap water that is not treated with reverse osmosis. I lived in Hawaii at the time, but found no matter what state I went to, I would, within 10 minutes of ingesting water, have severe cramping and the runs. I am now able to use the reverse osmosis water piped into some grocery stores. I have to be very careful what I eat at restaurants is not made with water, including reconstituted juice. I hate having to quiz the servers. When I eat at close friends or relatives homes, they, thankfully, use reverse osmosis water to cook with on my behalf. I can use distilled water, but understand it is not good for you on a regular basis. I wish I had some answers, too. At least it is good to know we aren't the only one with this problem.
