Cirrhosis and bowel dysfunction

Posted by parrot53 @parrot53, Jun 2, 2023

Hello Friends,
I am wondering if anyone with cirrhosis and portal hypertension is experiencing difficulty with gastrointestinal dysfunction. Specifically, constipation and painful bowels. I have increased water, vegetable and fruit intake and include probiotics, extra fiber (Metamucil), and even digestive enzymes. It is not giving me much relief. I have pain and bloating and gas. I know some of you are taking Lactulose. Does it help? Thanks for listening.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

Lactulose does help very much.
