A member asked:
Is it possible to get diarrhea from consuming to much vitamin c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You bet: Vitamin c, is an essential nutrient , is water-soluble, and your body doesn't store more than it uses. Daily vitamin c from food is easy with a well-balanced diet. Some people take high-dose supplements of vitamin c to enhance their immune-system functions. Too much vitamin c in your diet can result in stomach upset and bouts of diarrhea.
