Yes, it can. While taking an iron supplement, it is a good idea to increase fiber and water intake (do not eat high fiber foods at the time of administration of iron as it will inhibit its absorption - wait at least 2 hours to eat).

Why does iron cause constipation?
The origin of the link between iron fortified formula and constipation is difficult to find. Presumably it stems from the fact that adults who take iron supplementation in larger quantities can have changes in their stool color. Some of these adults who experienced these changes also felt the iron made them constipated. From there, the assumption was made that any amount of iron could cause constipation including any that might be found in formula. This is an understandable misunderstanding (if you will) since there are many infants who do develop constipation due to certain infant formulas. However, research has proven this assumed link of iron in formulas and constipation to be false. The definitive study concerning this issue was published back in 1985 when researchers took almost 300 children and for three months gave half of them iron supplementation and the other half a placebo or fake medication (with parental permission of course). Parents were unaware which the child was taking. They asked the parents to keep a diary concerning vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and fussiness. What they found was there was no difference in any of these things except constipation, and in this case the infants taking the placebo had more constipation than those taking the iron.I took this from here: http://parenting.ivillage.com/baby/bnutrition/0,,3q7f,00.htmlI don't personally agree - when I take iron supplements, eat high-iron food, or consume iron-rich anything, I become constipated. Also, this author doesn't cite the source of the study.
