"Lactulose works don't know why. Lactolose is gentle and actually works. I just about gave up until got this medicine. I take a few Vicodins a day and I needed something to help."

"It doesn't work for relieving constipation and causes severe cramping. I suffer from IBS and medication did not work at all. I would not recommend it if you have any bowel disease."

"I take 15mls lactulose 2x per day and get no results. On top of Lactulose I also use Miralax and a high fiber diet including prunes and prune juice. I am lucky if I go once a week."
