Well, for my stomach and gut it is more than just taking Vit C as my connective tissue is just hanging there. Result: delayed/nonfunctional peristalsis, reflux, gastritis and strange digestion, you get the idea.
I took C some time ago for some weeks but didn’t notice any improvement.
Thanks!

Hi again Samuel and all others suffering with gut issues,
I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again and again because it’s important. Many people have certain food intolerances, therefore end up with deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals which are needed by our bodies to carry out day to day functions. Even in those of us without intolerances AND who get a well balanced diet, these deficiencies STILL exist. I know because this was proven in me. The poor digestion, slow gut motility at times, poor absorption, etc all contribute to these deficiencies. If you are too deficient your bodies (cells!) start breaking down. It is essential that we replete any vitamins and minerals that are deficient.
Don’t expect to see miracles, some people are so deficient that it takes a long time for their body to repair, so it’s a long term strategy and not one that you can see results in a few weeks. In reality, our bodies are really struggling to cope and we must give them all the help we can. I have found that B vitamins help with gut issues, especially slow motility. Hope this puts it in perspective.
Regards
