Has anyone had a brown colon on a colonoscopy?

If you take certain drugs for constipation it can turn your colon an abnormal color. Example, before I started on the drug Linzess for IBS-C(constipation) I took can herbal OTC med which had different herbs for constipation . One in particular was Cascara sagrada. This is known to change the color of the colon. It can be seen in the elderly population also. I’m sure there are other reasons also.

What do you think of Linzess? I didn’t have much luck, but have considered revisiting it.

bb03, Couldn't your doctor explain why your colon was brown?? If not, I'd wouldn't go back to him for another colonoscopy!
