Can Iron Supplements Cause Black Vomiting?
Could you tell me if iron supplements can cause black vomiting in an anemic seventy four year old woman? she has had a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy and all seemed fine! Small polip was removed but not cancer. Because of iron deficiency she was put on iron tablets. She hardly eats and has lost a lot of weight.
