    Default Question for those taking Iron supplements

    Hi All, did it effect your stomach or bowel movements? Also, what type should I be taking? I don't think my sleeve is a fan.

    Can cause BIG time constipation!! Also, warning... your stools may (will) be black or dark green.

    Take several stool softners daily or MiraLax daily.

    Do you sip Miralax or take it with less water?

    Actually, it had the opposite effect on me of constipation. Yes, brown/black, green stool, stomach ache. It was a very high dosage in pill form.
