1 more question. can a vitamin with the same amount of iron all a sudden turn you poop dark when it was normal before on it? so i took a vitamin with same dose of same iron, normal brown poop, stopped for a week, then took it again, now poop is dark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron can make the poop dark. degree of darkness depends on the amount of iron taken and amt absorbed by the body and what other things constitute your poop. So yes that can happen
