I take a tablespoon of lactose once in the morning and once at night. It keeps you regular. Also eating alot of green veggies helps.
I've always had good results drinking senna leaf tea
The GI dietitian gave me invaluable information. “Kiwis are the new prunes.” I eat one diced with chia pudding (1Tbs soaked in 1 once of water) and either coconut yogurt (if you’re sensitive to dairy or I use sheep’s milk yogurt) daily.
I sometimes have it as a dessert at night with other fruits added or eat it in the morning for breakfast. I also take citrate/malate magnesium every night. I titrate up or down the amount depending on how regular I’ve been. I drink lots of water and eat cooked (or fresh if you can digest them w/o getting gas). I also meditate and get exercise-even if it’s a short walk.
Linzess gave me immediate diahrrea. I don’t like being dependent on prescription meds.
This works for me along with a low stress lifestyle. If I do get stressed, I do a heart centered meditation and come out feeling like a new woman!
Hope this helps!
What brand of lactose do you use and where do you buy it?
I have a prescription from my doctor.
Coconut water with a little 100% fruit juice helped my constipation.
Miralax makes my constipation worse.

Some people can't handle a high fiber diet.
Lack of fluids can also cause constipation some people are not able to absorb enough fluids into their body.
Try taking a juice size glass of Aloe Vera Gel just before going to bed. I use Lily of the Desert, Inner Fillet. I buy it by the gal, but there are smaller sizes if you would like to try it first. I order on line from Walmart, but I'm sure Amazon has it also.
You might be interested to know that the Mayo Clinic & The Cleveland Clinic both suggest using aloe vera juice for all digestive problems. I have been using it for years for various reasons and grew my own and have always used the gel. It's important when using the fresh leaves that you remove the green outer part of the leaf, next wipe away the latex which is slimy, and you end up with the precious GEL.
I think you mean lactulose?
Yes
