I had on and off tummy problems for the first couple of years I lived over on this side of the Pond. The food and the water are different here and it takes your system a while to adjust.
Like it or not, all foods and water have some benign "bugs" (bacteria, chemicals, etc.) and when you change continents, you're encountering things you have yet to develop a tolerance (or immunity) for. If you think it's the water, then try bottled water for a while to see if that helps.
A doctor may be able to give you something to calm your stomach a bit - and rule out anything out of the ordinary.
