Does Excessive B Vitamin Intake Cause Severe Diarrhea?

So, have no medical insurance... I had previously been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and peripheral nervous problems. Also problems with needs to increase B vitamins & Vitamin D. Deficiencies. i don't want to much go into it... Last night, I had an episode.... Explosive diarrhea like I hadn't had in a few months, (it had become normal to me). I had just started doubling up on the B vitamins. Could that have done it to me?

Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern.

1. Taking Vitamin B complex in excess dose: can cause skin rash, gastro intestinal problem,insomnia,tingling/numbness sensation, mood swings, hypertension,hypotension.

2. Taking high dose of vitamin B can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms like: [indigestion,nausea,DIARRHEA] thus people with previous history of gastrointestinal problem and in older adults are likely to suffer from stomach cramps and severe diarrhea after taking high dose.
