Hi . When you get loose stools you cut back a little on the

amount you take every hour by 150 mg, which is 850 mg. When you reach

bowel tolerance at 850 mg you cut back another 150 mg, and so on, until

you feel better.

Thank you, Bee. I will give that a try. I need to buy smaller amounts of

vitamin C tablets, or get the powder. I only have 1000 mg tablets. Btw, I've

staved off many colds and flu by taking lots of vitamin C. I love it!

+++Hi . If your vitamin C is a tablet you can cut them up.

If not, you can dump out capsules to take smaller amounts (mix it into

water).
