When I moved from the coastal city to Arizona, I had no appetite and no energy. I went to the doctor to have my stomach and intestines checked out. I wonder if it's not acclimatized? Or does Arizona water contain too much copper? Thank you!

No one told you not to drink water from the hose around here? Stick to bottled water.

I think most bottled water is filtered. Filtration will not remove Arsenic or Copper.

Arizona water has copper

Well it is known as the 'Copper State'.

How long have you lived in AZ? Two weeks? 3 months? 6 months? Testing yourself is only half of the equation. Did you get your house water tested to find out what's actually IN IT? Just because it has copper or some other naturally occurring mineral doesn't mean its bad...the concentrations of those minerals matter so testing the water is necessary to determine whether there's an actual problem or not. Besides, "no appetite and no energy" are terribly vague symptoms. So many other things could cause both, including chronic low level dehydration and not tolerating the more intense heat.

I lived in Arizona for three years. When I moved to Arizona from Hawaii on my first day, I had pizza and pineapple juice for dinner. Stomach pain and headache, nausea and weakness began three hours later. Then the symptoms disappeared two days later. But it happens all the time. Another symptom: hot mouth, hot throat, dry lips. Dry skin, dry hands and feet. I don't know what's wrong with my body? What kind of doctor should I see?
This dry heat is killing me

What does that have to do with copper in the water?

Sure, but the water is not bottled here to my knowledge.
