Can dead water-borne pathogens cause immune response?

Hi all!

Drinking water at my house is from roof water into a tank. It is filtered through 3x different sized microbial filters and then UV treated before it gets to the tap.

However, I am constantly having regular, recurring gastro and immune response symptoms. I do have several diagnosed ongoing chronic autoinflammatory and autoimmune syndromes, so it's definitely not just the water causing me problems, but...

My question is, with an immunocompromised person, or someone with active autoinflammatory and autoimmune issues, is it possible that dead pathogenic material or cellular parts in the drinking water could be exacerbating my immune issues and causing recurring flares?

Any input greatly appreciated!

New panuveitis user here, absolutely delightful. Is nausea and ear pain common too?

Hi all, currently enjoying my first bout of panuveitis, which is honestly just horrendous. Do others also suffer with terrible nausea and ear pain? I have severe head, face and joint aches too, but thought that was probably par for the course?

I do have several existing autoinflammatory and autoimmune conditions, so my ophthalmologist and rheumatology team are presuming at this stage that the uveitis is just another delight to add to the multi-system ridiculousness that is my body.
