Stomach Pain

I have sycosis and have many of the usual problems inching etc. and take Lactulose three times a day.

Over the last few day I have suffered with terrible stomach ache and pain in my back, has any one else had this problem and found any cures?

Hi David, it might be the lactulose, when I used to take it I would suffer from bad stomach cramps. I was told to drink plenty of liquid to reduce the cramping. I now take fybogel which is more gentle than the lactulose but not quite as effective.

Lactulose is horrible on your digestive system. I was taking two tbspn twice a day. It causes severe gas attacks. Not only that when you do pass it it tends to make you secrete a little bit of stool which is quite embarrassing. I recommend not taking that garbage as it is full of sugar causing more pressure on your pancreas. They tend to give it to you when your ammonium levels are high. Did you get a blood test to find out about your ammonium level? If it is high you probably are experiencing tremours better known as encepholepsy( bike backing up to the brain). I stopped taking it and started on a heavy duty fibre diet. Add flax and senna leaves to your bread, cereals and anything you eat during the day. Pick it up at a natural health food store or even a store that carries a variety of bulk products. It's not dear and it will help your bowels to become more regular thus bringing down your ammonium level naturally. I noticed once they increased my Creon pills, which is a pancreatic enzyme, all I had to do was take more fibre in my diet and I was fine. Don't always trust what the doctors give you because they get kick backs from every prescription they write. I hope that answers your question. By the way it also causes terrible gas pain and as we all are aware gas travels. If you put an ice pack on the are it hurts and maneuver the ice pack towards your bowels it helps you pass more gas to get rid of the pain!!!!
