Lactulose....how many ml are you taking ?

Postby Val76 » 30 Sep 2011, 08:49

Hi there,
I am taking Lactulose every day since 2,5 years and would be interested how many ml are you taking ? I need more or less 3x2,5 ml per day (before breakfast/meal and dinner).
Happened it to sbdy. that got used to it and had to max. the amount ?

When I was taking it with my first bout of fissues, I was taking 10-15ml twice a day (so 20-30ml in total). TBH I'm not convinced it was that good, so when I had my second bout of fissures I didn't use it again. I found movicol to be much better.

i was told to take 10ml twice a day.
lactulose is not only totally useless, it might make thing worse. when i told my doctor that lactulose didn't really soften the stool and asked her if i should take more, she said that lactulose will give me gas.
it was then i realized when spasm kicked in and the gas couldn't get out, pressure will build up inside and the spasm will hurt even more.
