AB Very  large  doses  of  vitamin  C  can  cause  gastric  irritation,  flatulence,  or  diarrhea.  Oxalate  kidney  stones  are  of  theoretical  concern  because  ascorbic  acid  is  metabolized  to  oxalate,  but  stone  formation  has  not  been  frequently  reported.  Vitamin  C  can  also  confound  common  diagnostic  tests  by  causing  false-negative  results  for  some  fecal  occult  blood  tests  and  both  false-negative  and  false-positive  results  for  urine  glucose.
