tongue

since I started on I.caps for macular degeneration my tongue has become sore and red.  Could it be the vitamin.  I take 2 a day and weigh 89 lbs



This discussion is related to black tarry stools.

Yes it could very well be the vitamin.  

Do you take any other multi vitamin along with the Icaps?  It is not recommended that you do and could promote a vitamin overdose that would account for the tongue issue.

The black stools should be investigated.  While iron does produce black stools, part of the negative side affects of Icaps is bloody diarrhea.  An occult blood test would reveal which.

I would not stop the vitamin without letting my doctor be aware of these side affects, but I would definitely not wait either.

Just my thoughts...
