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

"I take 15 mls 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."
