    Hello all
    For those of you on vitamin c have you had any gastrointestinal problems?

    Sort of. I'm working now to determine my bowel tolerance. Up to @14 grams today. But yesterday, I got a 1KG bag of ascorbic acid in the mail and misread the label. I had intended to take 3 grams after breakfast, so I added 3 teaspoons to some water and chugged it, thinking it was 1g per tsp. Well, it's 1 gram per 1/4 teaspoon for the stuff I bought, so I accidentally took 12 grams after breakfast instead of 3. Ooops. lol I had a little gas for a few hours, but nothing worse than that. And, i felt great all afternoon. Don't know if it was exactly because of the vit c, but here's hoping. :)

    Did you work up to bowel tolerance? Once you do, you are supposed to back off a bit to the point where you no longer have GI issues.
