A member asked:
I take iron supplement and my stool was wet and black now it has suddenly turned brown (normal color). does this cause concern?

Are you taking the same iron supplement, dose and formulary? Even the pill has been the same, there is nothing to concern about the now "normal" stool color because stool color varies a lot with food intake.
