Suffering From Severe Constipation Which Is Causing Dark Vomit
Hi, my 20 month old just vomited and it was very dark in color! We just went to a pediatric gastroenterologist last week did an x-ray and she is severely constipated, had to give an enema, which did not work and she is now on miralax, what could be causing the dark vomit?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Any concomitant use of iron supplements/ ingestion of coloured food substances or beet root can cause this. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
