I was told by my gastrologist that it is caused by herbal supplements and drinks. Which include colon cleansers, diet supplements, and herbal drinks. I was told to never use anything herbal again and it should correct it self in 5 years.

Melanosis Coli is caused by the accumulation of pigments called lipofuscin in the colon, typically due to the breakdown of cells or cellular debris. This condition can also occur in individuals who have a history of chronic constipation or prolonged contact with certain medications or toxins, even if laxatives are not used.
