Has anyone used Lactulose?

Angel2Fire · Jun 25th, 2009, 11:11 AM

I was reccomended Lactulose to help my LO with his constipation. It's worked rather too well and today he's done 3 really sloppy poo's as oppose to one really hard one every 3 days!
I think I've probably given him a bit too much and am going to cut it back to once a day.

I was just wondering what other peoples experiences with Lactulose are? Has it helped or not and have you found any bad sides to it?

Thanks

Weve used it afterbeing bunged up and not eating because of it.
We used just the one dose and it worked, gave us a few poopy nappies then thing went back to normal again.

Can you buy it from the chemist? I've tried everything else short of going to doc...

I was thinking about using prune juice with chaise but wasnt sure if it was safe?

my health visitor mentioned it to me , we mix 2.5ml with about 10ml of water normally does the trick within a hour or so x

I gave it to Katie last week a few times. It has got her going again - I just used 5ml at night and then she was still in pain and the doctor said to give her another 5ml and then it worked

The MW gave me this when I was a bit bunged up after I'd had Thomas. It did work, but boy was it disgusting! Soooo sweet - yuck!
