Will Lactulose Syrup Help In Treating Constipation?
Hi,
Im 29. I have constipation, problem is some of the days I dont have bowl moments which mean I cant pass stool in those days. Im taking cremaffin 20ml in night for last 3 years. It was effective around 2 years, but not now. Will it be helpful to me if I change the take lactulose syrup insted of cremaffin.

Hi,
thanks for writing in HCM.
Stop taking laxatives.
Drink lot of water and readjust your diet ensuring high content of fiber.
In the initial stages oral lactulose at night may be helpful. But try to slowly taper it down.
I hope this advice will help you.
