I'm so glad you checked in! You and me are the only ones trying the triphala! We are so similar! It's nice having someone who is at the same place as I--same symptoms, same past experience with the Eating Disorder (ED for short). I think you asked me about that in an email.
No, the other brand contains only the herbs without the added C or other fillers. Problem with the other brand is that it is that it only has 1/4 the amount of beneficial herb dosage that the planetary brand contains (1000mg a day compared to 4000mg).
I don't know if it is harmful or not. Like everything else, the responses have pretty much been that everyone is different and able to tolerate things at different levels. If you want more info, see my post on Vitamin C and also the thread on Reliv. Heather posted her comments about vit C on both these posts. I'm still confused, but it may help you decide what to do.
Please keep me posted on how you do. Since you have not had problems with vit. C before, you should be fine. I'm not sure about myself as I can't tolerate anything very well. No calcium or even advil.
I'm not sure what I will do. I want the benefits that this may offer for constipation, but don't need more gas and cramps.
