A member asked:

I had been taking 1000mg vit c after dinner with no problems, when i switched to taking it after breakfast i get diarrhea. can't figure out why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That is hard to expl: I can not figure that out either. it may just be a coincidence. You can determine the cause by stopping your Vitamin- C for 1 or 2 days of go back to taking it in the evening/ bed time. You will find out what is going on.
