iron pills and black BM

[choclab]

have taken iron for 2 days and have black poo

is this normal

how you all feeling ?

had bloods yesterday will call tomorrow see if any results are in..

I have just finished a 3 month course of iron tablets as my levels were low due to extremely heavy periods.
I felt much better energy-wise once I started taking them (obvious if you are anaemic!), but am so glad to be rid of black poo, constipation and constant bloating/

Hope you're OK.
