I have just began to take this twice a day,15ml each time, for quite bad constipation which i have.I also need to watch my calorie and saturated fat intake, and i was wondering if this solution is high in sugar/calories etc.Will anybody be able to tell me?

Take it if you want to cure your constipation and eat more fruit and veg. Weetabix as well. I don`t think it contains much fat but being so sweet it probably contains a lot of sugar.

Lactulose doesn'[t have any calories in it, but it is a very good laxative if taken in the proper amounts. Start slow with the dose right after breakfast and increase it until your bowel movement is daily and that ignoring or resisting it is futile.

Lactulose is basically a sugar in water. It is however an excellent aperient with few side effects.

it is full of sugar. But it will sort your constipation out, so stop fretting and take it. Presumably it has been prescribed? If so, you need it. Dieting messes up your bowel, so stop worrying too much about it

Yes it is sugar based, which will clear the blockage!!!! stop fretting maybe you need to change your diet and eat more fibre
