Hi,
I would recommend taking meds only on advise and guidance of your doctor lest it will cause more harm then good.
Food on the other hand is a better method to gain back the nutrients and would be greatly helpful.
Please let me know your present Hemoglobin levels.
Best regards
Hemoplex is a good iron supplement which is less agravating to the digestive system and is basically a multivitamin for Iron with 50mg Iron. Always always take it with food, as BhumikaMD said, otherwise it will as you stated cause stomach pains. There are many Iron rich vegetables also that you can research.

Hi,
Iron deficiency is a common occurrence in pregnant women and women in general too. It is also one of the largest treatable cause of anemia.
Usually for a blood test, the hemoglobin of the donor is measured and thats when your problem must have surfaced. Do you know your current hemoglobin levels.
Iron tablets may cause the nausea and black stools that you have noticed. I think you should try and take the tablets with food if required. However, you must check with your primary care physician before going on this path.
Food, if taken in the requisite amount and proportions may also be helpful in your case.
Let me know if you still have any queries.
best regards
