Sorbifer: Sorbifer, an iron preparation combined with vitamin C, can cause black stools and abdominal discomfort or gastrointestinal irritation. To be sure, your physician can check a stool specimen obtained by a rectal examination and test it for occult blood. A negative test would rule out upper gi bleeding as a cause of the tarry stools. Taking sorbifer with food should reduce gi irritation or?change Rx
