What Experts Say

Lactulose is an osmotic laxative made from two sugars that the body cannot absorb in the small intestine. It travels to the colon mostly unchanged. Because it is not absorbed, it is considered gentle enough for children and older adults when advised.

There, gut bacteria break it down into acids. This draws water into the bowel, softens the stool and stimulates natural bowel movement. Doctors often suggest more fluids and fiber alongside it for lasting relief. Very little of it is absorbed into the blood.

The same acidifying effect traps ammonia in the colon, which is why doctors also use lactulose in liver disease. Results usually appear after 24 to 48 hours, so patience is needed. Gas and bloating are common in the first days. Dose is adjusted until two or three soft stools are passed daily. Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, since the syrup contains small amounts of sugar. Stop and seek advice if severe stomach pain appears.
