Accidentally dumped too much Vit C powder in my drink...was going to throw it out-forgot to throw it out- and drank all of it. It must be like 6000mgs or something. What is this going to do to me [Frown] ?

You'll get bad diarrhea, and probably an acidic upset stomach -- that is almost a guarantee. The body can flush vit C out quite effectively, thankfully.

You may herx from this, too -- I've heard that can happen. I'd suggest you drink a lot of water in the mean time, and avoid anything acidic in your belly.

Depends on how much your body can tollerate. I am taking 4g a day with no problems... I know some people who can take 20g without side effects.

I think the only side effect is diarrhea.

If you have any candida problems it could flush out some of the yeast. The first time hubby had a candida rash on his groin was after doing a vitamin C flush.

If you get diarrhea from this it should clear up within a day or two at the most. Vitamin C is used up or flushed out very quickly.
