I have! Unfortunately, for me, it burned my stomach. I've learned my lesson multiple times when it comes to Vitamin C additives/vitamins. You have to be careful with it because many products have added vitamin C in the form of absorbic acid. Putting absorbic acid into your irritated stomach?? Yeah, I don't think so!! I get my vitamin C naturally in the foods I eat. :) .......... That's just my experience

Ok thanks. Will not try it then. Thanks for sharing....but I'm very sorry that you've found out first hand. :-(

i can handle limited amounts of vitamin c and avoid anything with it added in as I always react to that. I can now eat oranges and mandarins but only eat a little each day.

Ditto, Vit C hurts.
I can eat a few canned mandarin oranges chopped up in plain yogurt but that's about my limit. To get enough Vit C I take an extended release tablet which doesn't start to dissolve til it gets past my stomach... I take 500 mg once a week.

It makes it hard in the very early stages when our immune systems are struggling and there is so little we can handle. I'm constantly amazed at our differences and what I can and can't eat. I couldn't eat raw vegetables for two years while others always could do salads.

hi,
For me, Vitamin C tablets are a No-go zone too. found out first hand too. I eat apple once a day. That is my Vitamin C fix...

I miss apples.... and cukes, and celery.... getting hugely annoyed with being stuck eating stewed meats, rice, and spaghetti squash.

Vitamin C is not a citrus, but I would stick with real food and not supplements.

Does anyone have a list of "gastritis-safe/friendly" foods one can eat that contain vitamin c?

papaya is very high in vitamin c, and also in vitamin a (beta carotene). Papaya doesn't seem to bother my stomach, but I make sure to eat a very very ripe one that's sweet and melts in the mouth.

broccoli and brussels sprouts have a lot of vitamin c, and cauliflower does a bit, too. this is a good link - http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=109

I have recently started drinking coconut water, and I am not sure how well it is tbh. I have two kinds, I have a little bottle by Vitacoco that I drink when I am out running errands and a big bottle by Go Coco. I tend to drink more of it when I am not at home. If I am in town for 2-3 hours I will drink a 330 ml container and by the time I get home I am clutching my stomach in pain. So it is either the water or no food in my stomach. Now what I have found is the one that seems to hurt my stomach has 25 mg of calcium in 100 mls, whereas the big bottle has .8 mg of vitamin c per 100 mls. So I must presume that the Vitamin C is causing havoc on my stomach. Can anyone tell me what is the vitamin c levels per 100 mls in the coconut water you drink please and if it effects you good or badly. When at home I don't seem to drink much of it or much of anything tbh. I am rarely thirsty with this new diet. I have a glass of water in the morning and before bed, but during the day I have a sip of it here and there.

For the last few years I am unable to tolerate multi vitamins. They absolutely kill my stomach but the chewy kids ones seem to sit a bit better.
