A member asked:
I am on lactulose but still not been to poo for 10 days is this bad and what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes its bad: Its rare for lactulose not to be effective, if dosed properly. Regardless, 10 days without a bm needs to be evaluated by a medical doctor asap before dire consequences set in.
