Lactulose

Of the 19 subjects, an "abnormal" LBT pre-probiotic was present in ten subjects and during the probiotic, 13 were abnormal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the present study we have compared the colonic metabolism of the two sugars using an in vitro faecal incubation system. [doi.org]

  • Fishing

    We have measured the urinary excretion of trimethylamine in two sisters with trimethylaminuria (the fish-odour syndrome). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Diarrhea

    The dosage of lactulose for chronic idiopathic constipation is adjusted depending on the constipation severity and desired effect, from a mild stool softener to causing diarrhea. [en.wikipedia.org]

    Severe diarrhea may lead to hypovolemia, hypokalemia, and hypernatremia, especially in elderly or acutely ill patients. If diarrhea develops, the dosage should be reduced. [drugs.com]

    If initial dose causes diarrhea, reduce dose immediately; discontinue if diarrhea persists. Contraindications: Patients who require a low galactose diet. [empr.com]

    You have to find out how the Lactulose works best for you to get good results and to avoid diarrhea. For me it's 33ml once or twice a day. Sometimes I find I need to go a few days without taking it to avoid diarrhea. [ibstales.com]

  • Epigastric Pain

    GI symptoms, such as dyspepsia, bloating, abdominal pain/discomfort, and epigastric pain on an eleven-point scale were also analyzed and correlate with the results of those tests. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Bad Taste

    However, bad taste was reported significantly more often in the PEG group. CONCLUSIONS: PEG 3350 (0.26 (0.11) g/kg), compared with lactulose (0.66 (0.32) g/kg), provided a higher success rate with fewer side effects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Choreoathetoid Movements

    The changes in motor function may include rigidity, disorders of speech production, resting‐ and movement‐induced tremor, asterixis, delayed diadochocinetic movements, hyperreflexia, hyporeflexia, choreoathetoid movements, Babinsky's sign, and transient [doi.org]

  • Babinski Sign

    The changes in motor function may include rigidity, disorders of speech production, resting‐ and movement‐induced tremor, asterixis, delayed diadochocinetic movements, hyperreflexia, hyporeflexia, choreoathetoid movements, Babinsky's sign, and transient [doi.org]

  • Hyperreflexia

  • Decerebrate Posturing

    Changes in mental state range from subtle alterations in personality, intellectual capacity, and cognitive function to more profound alterations in consciousness leading to deep coma with decerebrate posturing. [doi.org]

  • Pneumoperitoneum

    The increased gas pressure caused extravasation of air into the intestine, causing PI with pneumoperitoneum. They both resolved with discontinuation of lactulose. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In accordance with previous studies, a low encopresis frequency and a short period of treatment before enrolment were associated with successful treatment outcome. 18 A longer period of treatment suggests an early age of onset of constipation, indicating [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
