A member asked:

Is it normal to develop green feces while taking linzess? i was going once every one or two weeks; now every day and it is green but i'm not sick.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely not to worry: Likely means nothing other than change in the transit time of your stool through the colon, or related to something green that you adjusted. If continues however, go for full examination.
