@racing212 That's a very large dose of lactulose that you are taking. When I was being discharged from the hospital after an HE episode put me in there, the hospitalist told me to take that large a dose and I basically could not leave the bathroom. It is one of the few medications that the patient has to titrate themselves to determine the dosage that is effective but not overkill. I settled on about 35 ml three times a day.
When I saw a hepatologist she put me on xifaxan and for almost a year I was able to eliminate the lactulose. Then I had another HE episode so I had to add lactulose back in.
You have been in the hospital for a very extended amount of time. Is that due to HE episodes?
