I take linzess and lactulose for irriatble bowel syndrome. why do i get excess gas after i have had several bowel movements?

Lactulose: Lactulose contains a poorly digestible sugar and is well known for causing gas. Consult with your doctor about stopping it as you may not need it while taking linzess. Good luck!
