However, if black stools appear, it is important to rule out the possibility of gastrointestinal bleeding in the process of iron supplementation. Be sure to improve the blood routine, stool automatic analysis, if stool automatic analysis suggests that there is a weak positive OB, must be alert to gastrointestinal bleeding, it is recommended to further improve the electronic gastroscopy and e-colonoscopy. If the automatic stool analysis OB is (-), generally consider mainly the iron supplementation caused. He is advised to pay attention to observation, dynamic review of blood routine changes, and timely review of routine blood tests.
