Is it allowed to take Lactulose during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Disaccharide (galactose and fructose) which is barely absorbed by the small intestine and reaches the large intestine (colon) where it exerts its action as an osmotic laxative drug. A small amount that is absorbed is excreted unmodified in the urine. At latest update were not found published data on excretion into breast milk. However, because it does not reach the mother's plasma, any concentration in the milk is not expected. Medication with authorized indication in infants.

After chronic constipation, it was suggested to me that I take magnesium. Works like a dream, everyday. no more problem.

This medicine works as advertised. However my doctor never told me that olive oil could do the same thing. Realizing the strain on the liver and kidneys that follows from a long-term usage of laxatives, I started taking two tablespoons of olive oil every morning into an empty stomach and I have a bowel movement every day. (Of course this means that I watch out for fats throughout the rest of the day). Olive oil has saved my kidneys, my liver, and it has saved me.

About 2 tablespoons gave complete relief of constipation within 24 hours
