Too many vitamins. How do I make the pain stop?

Question

I accidentally took too many vitamins. Now, about five or six hours later, my stomach is in the worst pain I've ever had in my life. How can I make it stop? Is this going to hurt me (anymore than it already has)?

Answer 1

So in fact, according to your explanation, you only took a double dose. If this is the case, it should not give you stomach pains. You'd have to take at least 5 grams of vitamin C to begin to get colic-like pains if you are sensitive to it.

I suggest that you find the real cause for these stomach pains so that you can find the solution. It is probably very unpleasant.

Could it be just plain colic due to constipation?

Could it be appendicitis? Do you have a headache? Are you nauseous? If you press carefully but deeply on the right-hand side of your tummy and let go very suddenly, is it much more painful when you let go than when you press? If this is the case contact Emergency. It could well be appendicitis.

All the best! Hope it isn't appendicitis and goes away soon!

Answer 3

The information/dosage on the vitamin container is the recommended dosage for health maintenance if you are in perfect health of which none of us are.  When we are ill and do not wish to use prescription drug we double or triple the dosage of relevant vitamins in order to get well.

It follows then that it would be very unlikely that you'd become ill as a result of the vitamins.

You might be gassy or you might have a parasite problem or something else.  Drink a cup of warm herb tea and during the rest of the day a few glasses of water or fruit juice and see what happen.  

Answer 4

you're not sick from the vitamins, your stomach is upset from the sugar probably in those things.  too much of anything is not good for ya.  At this point, take some ginger tea or sniff on some Peppermint essential oil to relieve the upsetness.

Answer 5

Your pain is not due to the vitamins. There is not one case in the USA of an overdose of vitamins or any dosage related stomach complications.
