Shortly after I lay down I ask my granddaughter to bring me a bottle of water from the box. She says the water has white stuff floating in the water. I tell her to bring the water to me. I see a lot of white cloud like particles floating in the water. I get several more unopened bottles from the box they all have this stuff floating in the water. My bowls and stomach have not gotten back to normal yet.
