Lactulose is a potent laxative. There will be diarrhea, but that is to be expected. Normal side effects are bloating, belly cramps, etc. For patients in advanced kidney failure, things get a bit tricky, as diarrhea means excretion of potassium. Because of that hypokalemia )low potassium) and hypernatremia (high sodium) can ensue. These electrolytes need to be measured carefully in such patients and whoever prescribed the lactulose must know that patient has these health problems. Hope that helps…

About Me

My name is Sylvie Lalonde. I have 3 kids and a wonderful husband (he loves that I have my body back, if you know what i mean! :) LOL). I lost 43lbs using a diet method I created from products I saw on TV. Read my story to learn how I lost weight in time for my holiday.

"Dynamic Duo" Free Trials
Step 1
Acai Berries - Free Bottle

Step 2
Colon Cleanse - Free Bottle

A "famous" dieting solution.

I say “famous” because I learned about these two products Oprah. I was surprised to know that tons of celebrities use the same stuff I used to lose 43lbs.

Acai Berry on CBS:

Food For Your Heart! "Acai berries are among the most nutritious foods of the Amazon, rich in B vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Acai berries also contain oleic acid (omega-9), a beneficial fatty acid."

Acai Berry on Oprah:

Oprah Winfrey Show: "It may seem odd to start this list of superfoods with one you’ve likely never even heard of. But studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, açaí tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature's perfect energy fruit. Açaí is packed full of anti-oxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids."
