Do not take Lactulose is you are lactose-intolerant. This is a synthetic and more powerful derivative.

I was given it in a hospital after a heart attack, and the amount of pain and gas was absolutely astounding. It lasted for hours and after a week, my intestines are still not quite right. It also made my constipation worse. After calling the pharmacist into the ICU, we looked at the chemical makeup, and he confirmed my suspicions that it was based on Lactose, varying by only one molecule (which makes it more powerful - I am a chemist by trade btw). He was also lactose intolerant and so we discussed how it was like downing a giant milkshake in less tha a minute without any warning. Lactaid taken after the fact helped a little with the pain but not the bulk of the gas production. So, watch out if you're lactose intolerant and avoid this product like the plague.

As many others I had tried about everything available with many miserable days. Now I take a tablespoon in my morning coffee and stay regular. Great solution for a long time IBS problem.

I have tried EVERYTHING from Women's Correctal to fiber drinks and every other type of pills and liquids they make and NOTHING works better for me than this.

I had a lot of both with the other laxitives but none that I have noticed with this. It is WONDERFUL TO BE REGULAR.

I had to take the medicine 2 days in a row before anything happened and when I finally had a BM I woke up with terrible cramping and then diarrhea.

Now I have not taken it in several days and have not had a BM either but continue to feel like I have to go. I have had some mucus like BM's but nothing to write home about and after the urgency goes away and the very small amount is out I still feel like I have to go...

I like many tried all sorts of remedies, I found Lactulose works great. Yea, it tastes awful but I mix it with a little OJ and down it goes, I also only take it once a day,3tsp. I have some cotton mouth, gas but not bad, before I was constipated for days to a week, that was much worse!!
