Dealing with Cirrhosis: Seeking Advice and Support

I was on lactose years ago and made me sick so I I. Told my dr I could not take it anymore and asked for something else .she tnen prescribed me XIFAXIN 550 MILAGRAMS 2 times a day Insurance never wants to pay for it cuz it's Very Expensive but ur Dr.can get it Pre authorized and get it approved and it's a pill form and it's so much better .I've been on it for at least 5 years now . Hope.my advise helps you

I take 90 ml 3 times a day and absolutely hate the stuff. I chase it with a small amount of soda which helps a little. I have odensatron/Zofran for the nausea. Taking it is better than being admitted due to the fully functional black outs I've experienced from too much ammonia on my brain. Lactulose sucks!

I took that too immediate diarrhea. I’m no longer taking . It’s for getting ammonia out of your brain.

I have cirrhosis…. I’m taking Lactulose and hate it, I’m having a hard time getting it down and once I do I become nauseated!
