don't know about the Vitamin C for sure but yes you can be allergic to citrus. You can actually be allergic to anything food or non food. I'm not sure what it is in citris that one would be allergic to or even if it is the same for all but I would think maybe it is the acid levels in it. Citris can also be a migrane trigger for some. I would still make sure you take a multi vitamin with Vitamin C in it but stay away from the citris itself.

Take care,
Amanda

How much are you consuming? Diarhea is very common (and harmless) side effect of consuming too much vitamin C.
