I was tested Low Ferrtin and started supplementing with Iron complex. Since then I am having green stools. Is this common or do I need to be worried. My concern is that if my body is absorbing Iron properly or not.

Sounds like it is not absorbing it. Allergy.

May want to treat yourself with Bio-Set developed by Dr. Ellen Cutler. Go to www.amazon.com and search for Dr. Cutler under author.

Massman, do you have any other ideas for cause of green stools? I have had this issue lately and have concerns. I read on mainstream pages it's no big deal, but they say Lyme isn't either. lol.

seekhelp, when my daughter was taking formula she had green stools, her Ped said its normal. He sent the stool for testing and made conclusion.

massman, do I need to look for books by Dr.Cutler or products. Why I ask?. When I searched I got books by that doctor.

Thank you,
