What is the difference between lactose (milk sugar) and lactulose?
Lactose (milk sugar), like lactulose, is used to treat constipation. However, milk sugar is not very effective and needs to be administered in relatively high dosages (40 g). In addition, one dose of milk sugar has a lot of calories (160 kcal), triggers feelings of hunger, affects body weight and is unsuitable for diabetics. Lactose (milk sugar) is mostly resorbed in the small intestine. Return to topic selection My four-year-old daughter suffers occasionally from constipation. Could I give her Duphalac ® ?
