Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 This is a natural occurrence Sharon. Many people have almost black stools when taking iron supplements.# Luv - Sheila I have a question regarding my daughters stools.In the last few days since starting her period,her stools are pungeant and very dark brown/dark charcoal grey,as she describes! She is taking 4-5 20mg of gentle iron a day and 4000-5000mg of vit C.Shes not taking any other vits or mins at the moment,but is taking 60mcg of T3.This is the first time her stools have been like this,but has been taking gentle iron and vit C for about 6 months,but the dose she is taking at the moment,she has been taking for a few weeks.She still gets constipated,despite so much vit C and the gentle iron is supposed to be non-constipating. This is also the first time she has had stools this colour.Has anybody got any ideas on my daughters poo problem! Thanks. Best wishes Sharon No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Thanks Sheila,my daughter was getting worried,so I needed to put her mind at rest.She had visions of having to give a doctor a sample and her bowel having stage fright! Kids aye, what are they like! Best wishes Sharon From: Sheila <sheila@...>Subject: RE: dark "stools"thyroid treatment Date: Friday, April 9, 2010, 8:56 AM This is a natural occurrence Sharon.
