Could Iron Pill be Causing BLACK Stools?

Sorry to be gross, but yesterday and today I noticed I had black stools. The color of my iron pill. I just had surgery a week and 3 days ago. The consistency of the stool is normal and I have no pain. Just wondering if this is normal after taking iron pills or if this is related to something else. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
