A member asked:
Does lactulose also help in reducing water retention in body , if yes then how much water is excreted ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: lactulose does not get absorbed and does not pull water from tissues into the gut. Water retention is better dealt with sodium (salt) restriction and diuretics.
