Vitamin C makes worms worse?

Recently I tried taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance level to see if it would help with my Candida/ parasite issue. They say that the more sick you are, or the more vitamin c you need, the more you can take before you hit bowel tolerance. The usual amount is around 15g a day. I found I could take in excess of 50g a day and I never hit bowel tolerance, and I'm wondering if this is because my Ascaris were stealing it.

It didn't really help much, although I did feel a bit brighter and healthier and it eased some symptoms, but no dramatic health improvements. I then came across a study (which I can't put my hands on right now) which showed that vitamin c actually strengthens helminths (roundworms in particular I think), and that albendazole administered at the same time as vitamin c was less effective than albendazole administered on it's own.

For me it definitely made the worms more active that's for sure. Has anyone else had any experiences with vitamin C? Tweet
