Can Change In Atmosphere Affect The Bowel Movement?
Hi, my husband and I have lived at our present address for the last 5 years, shortly after movong here we both noticed a huge difference in our stools. They are incredibly soft, very frequent and have an orange tinge. Our water has a very high limescale content and we also live 1000 feet above sea level. Our dietry habit have remained unchanged, the only changes being environmental. Could this be reason for our changes, and could this be damaging in the long-term?
