I have just joined this discussion forum and I wondered if anyone can help me. My problem is that I cannot seem to tolerate Vitamin C in any form. The problem occurs approximatly 5 - 6 hours after taking it. I exprience pain in my gut and have to stop taking it. I have read of the many benefits of Vitamin Cand would like to find out if anyone else has experienced this kind of proplem. I have tried various forms including Ester C which, reportedly in the UK, is the most easily digestable form. I have tried products from various manufacturers including Solgar, Biocare and Lamberts but they all have the same effect.
I would welcome your advice

Thank you for your reply. What a knowledgable person you are!
What is the difference between sodium ascorbate and sodium bicarbonate? I am a complete pleb when it comes to ascorbates!
I will certainly do as you suggest.

"I have not been able to achieve the ascorbate effect with mineral ascorbates orally. Mineral ascorbates are fine forms of vitamin C but when you are really sick, the mitochondria are failing in their refueling of the free radical scavengers with electrons. The ascorbic acid carries 2 extra electrons per molecule where the mineral ascorbates seem to carry only one (plus per molecule the mineral ascorbates are heavier due to the mineral weighing more than the hydrogen the mineral replaces). So the mineral ascorbates are not potent enough to accomplish the ascorbate effect. There may be other reasons that we do not appreciate additionally." -- Dr. Robert Cathcart, III, M.D. http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/esterc.htm
