> Does distilled water take some flavor from the plastic container it is put into?

Depends on the plastic. There are many many kinds of plastic.

> It heats the water into steam, which then goes over and condenses back into water and falls into a plastic container than came with it.

Use a different container. Glass is good.

> I'm thinking maybe I can add in some lemonade mix or something to cover up the unbelievably nasty taste.

Don't do that. The nasty taste is nasty stuff.

> I found this webpage http://www.durastill.com/myths.html and MYTH 4 is about unbelievably nasty taste, which is the symptom I am having.
>
> Anyone know anything about these toxic gasses which are somehow responsible for the unbelievably nasty taste(or UNT as it is known to scankologist)?

It's not toxic gases, per se. It's plasticizers and unpolimerized plastic. Not good for you. Get a different container, fast.

> Without using a carbon filter... shouldn't they just rise up and go off somewhere? I'm thinking it might be the plastic giving it that funk taste, since water bonds with anything apparently.

Not anything. Think about oil and water.

Water will dissolve many things, but not all things.

> Can I get casein or anything else that might be bad from the plastic? Caseins are the bad thing in dairy products, and are apparently used in making plastics.

I can almost guarantee, without even seeing your container, that it has no casein in it. I'll bet the plastic is sort of transparent, a little bit milky, and a greyish off-white colour.

> I see many webpages saying that you should avoid gluten and casein, so that is why I'm worried about the plastic.

Ditch it.
