My doc prescribed it for severe bloating and constipation caused by Zithromax. I tried everything even miralax isn’t working.
I tried the lactulose once and it is extremely sweet. I read that the sugar in it is not absorbed, but it’s hard for me to believe that because of how sweet it is.
I really need to get myself going every day so the toxins don’t keep building up and reabsorbing.

Well, it can ignite SIBO if you have some in your gut already. I was given it too but I wouldn't take it. Try at least 3g of magnesium oxide per day, and do one dose of daily Miralax for a *while* (it takes days to start working). And if that doesn't work, down half a bottle of milk of magnesia and that will definitely get stuff moving.

Autointoxication from constipation isn't really a thing as far as I know.
