I'm glad you brought up the subject of ascorbic acid because I was
planning to ask about it myself.  I HAVE tried large doses (3,000 mg in
one dose) recently when I had what felt like a sinus infection, and
while it did seem to help the sinuses a lot, it also seemed to "mess up"
my gut.  Not diarrhea, but just a weird, irritable feeling.  Does anyone
know if it could cause irritation in a sensitive colon or if that was
probably just a cleansing effect and would eventually go away?  It has
so many benefits, I hate not to take it.

Then again yesterday I took only 500 mg of citris bioflavanoids capsule
and last night got cramps and diarrhea.  Same question -- sensitivity to
citris maybe, or just "cleaning house?"  Anyone else have this
experience with ascorbic acid or other forms of vitamin C?
