So perhaps my body is saying 10 grams for now? I have not been having any chest pain and for now really feel quite well. No I will not go off my pauling therapy and have just bought another container of Ascorbic Acid powder..
That is good news if your bowel tolerance says you require less C! Ultimately this means you are starting to meet your metabolic requirements (just as the Riordin story you mention points out.) Your blood can be completely out of vitamin C as your hungry cells consume all they can. When your cells are nourished, more C stays in the blood, leading to less absorption, leading to more flowing into the rectum - leading to lower bowel tolerance.
