Alot of people can't handle acidic foods.Some times OJ bothers me also.As for vitamin C , high doses 3,000 to 10,000 mgs a day can definitely cause Bowl Intolerance in some people. harry!

One last pointer a good non- acidic vitamin C is ESTER-C. Its Calcium Ascorbate.Try using that and stay off orange juice and maybe that might help ! harry!

Some people have a high tolerance for ascorbic acid and some a low one. Orange juice by itself is something of an allergen for lots of people.

How high is the dosage of the Vitamin-C tab?

I get sick if I take Vit C and too much OJ on an empty stomach.
Are you eating meals with the vitamins? And how much are you taking?
You might be taking too much and then if you are not eating with them - then forsure you will be sick :(!
