Yes you can, its perfectly safe, but you will need to read the instructions and work out how many times a day you need it. The minimum is 3 spoonfuls a day but i only need to take 2. Was recommended by my doctor to help heal a pile i had and keep my stool soft. It works very well, but takes 24-48 hours before it kicks into your system. once it does you should keep up the routine. also drink plenty of water with it. hope this helps
no
It is part of the laxative process. That is what makes it work.
Yes, it's OK. But beware of the additional cramps. It's probably better to simply take enough lactulose to solve your constipation and forget the castor oil.
lactulose is manufactured by enzymatic isomerization of lactose.
Very little of lactulose is digested. It won't add to weight gain.
Hey i am 39 +5 wks pregnant, and have just taken 3 teaspoons of lactulose. Has anyone any idea how long it will be before it takes effect. I am due at hospital tomorrow for a sweep and am hoping my bowels will be cleared so the midwife can get a good sweep to induce labour. thanks.
Lactulose has an overly sweet taste but does not taste like coconut.
There is no effect on a developing fetus and, in fact, lactulose is often prescribed for pregnant women.
No, it does not.
Lactulose works by drawing water into the colon, softening stools and increasing the frequency of bowel movements. It is commonly used to treat constipation and to help reduce ammonia levels in the body for individuals with liver disease.
It doesn't.
It is petrolatum product
