    So ever since my DR put me on Iron pills, I have noticed that my bowel movements are black. Is this normal or something I should be worried about? Maybe I should ask the DR?

    I am on iron pills and this is completely normal. Make sure you eat fiber to help.

    very normal! My doc said to not just eat fiber but stuff like oatmeal that has soluble fiber as well...it has helped me as fas as not being backed-up too much!
