And yes I have the black/green poo But considering the other side effects I'm ok with that. My pharmacist told me to try to take them with a form of vitamin C (so I drink OJ or grape juice when I take mine), always take it with food (otherwise you will get a very upset stomach), and never take it with any form of calcium (the two bind together and cancel each other out!) |

I've found taking the pills in the morning easiest for me because I'm not a cereal eater and it was easiest to not eat any calcium in the mornings  |
