I've been taking Tab-A-vite Multivit W/iron Tablets for a couple of months now, and I've noticed some changes in my stool color. I've also had some mild stomach pain. I've read the possible side effects but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar. I'm a bit worried and considering switching to a different multivitamin. Has anyone had any issues with this brand? Or maybe it’s just my body adjusting, I don’t know. Do I need to be concerned? How did you manage any side effects? What did your doctor say?

I've heard that some people have to change their diet a bit when they start taking multivitamins. Adding more fiber might help with the constipation. Also, It may take a while for your body to adjust.

I've been taking these for a while and haven't had any issues. Maybe it's just a coincidence. You should definitely talk to your doctor about it, though. They can give you a better idea of what's going on.

I switched to a different brand because of similar issues. I had really bad stomach pain and constipation. Definitely check with your doctor.

I had really bad constipation at first. Probably because I wasn't drinking enough water. I upped my intake, and it got better. Check your hydration levels.

My stomach pain was from a weird food allergy — took a long time to figure it out. Stomach issues can be from so many things. Iron might be the culprit but so can other things. Good luck.
