Had to take this this week due to a bout of constipation together with Metamucil. It did the job so will cease but dealing with a lot of gas. Using Gas X as well as fennel tea which hels a little. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Perhaps the best thing to do is eat with extra care until the effects of the lactulose subside.

I'm a veteran of constipation- but am new to this post-infection IBS. what is lactulose for? 1. I highly recommend doing kegel exercises to get peristalsis working. (long story involving bladder/rectal prolapse after 2 kids,PT, & mesh implant)2. I've currently had diarrhea for 3 weeks non-stop. sudden onset after a pork chop at a restaurant. 2 different doctors, 2 blood tests, 2 differing stool samples later. they say the flora is normal. please tell me what to do. I am basically diagnosing myself since nobody can help. I doubt 1 meal made me suddenly celiac after a lifetime of eating anything. need a diet clue please. did 3 weeks or rice & bananas. thanks for any advice.
