Carb in Lactulose Solution?

Question

I need to know how many carbs are in a dose of Lactulose Solution.. I have looked all over the internet and I cant find anything.. Can someone please help me...Thanks if you can

Answer 1

It depends on what the brand name is.  There are literally hundreds of brand names for lactulose solutions between Canada and the U.S.  You would have to look at the sugar content on the bottle.  If there are diabetic symbols on the bottle, that will give you a clue, too.

I'm a little concerned though.  Since you are asking about the carb content of the solution, I'm guessing that you're dieting (the low-carb way).  Lactulose solution is a stool softener... which can be abused for dieting purposes.  If you're using the solution and counting carbs to lose weight, it's really not a good idea to use those methods together.  Especially if you're using other methods like taking pills, herbal preparations, etc., that can interact with the lactulose solution.

Good luck to you
