What Causes Black Watery Stool While On Flintstones Vitamins?
My 2 year old & 4 year old have been taking Flinstone vitamins. The 2 year old stool is soft, wet/runny & almost black for 3 days. The 4 year old had almost black in color stool today but it was of normal consistency. Should I be alarmed for a possible upper or lower GI bleed?

Hi,
Flinstones vitamins syrup does contain Iron so it is likely that passing black color stool is there.
And if this syrup is with special Iron medicine,there might be having black color stool.
Nothing to worry if iron is there.
Consult your doctor and discuss about this.
Ok and take care.
