Close Cirrhosis
My husband is a heart transplant patient and after getting his new heart it was discovered that some of the heart medications he had to take to keep him alive cause cirrhosis. He has a TIPS, suffers frequently from severe bouts of encelopathy. Take Xifaxin and Lactulose to help control the situation but it doesn't always work. Since my husband got the TIPS he has been "off" never back to himself but when he has a bout of the severe encelopathy he does really ugly things.
Treatments
- Lactulose Working / Worked
- My husband takes at least 120 grams a day and sometimes that isn't enough. Sometime it makes him sick at his stomach but it is a necessary evil. We are creative with how we mix it to help him get it down.
- Xifaxan Working / Worked
- Without the Xifaxan my husband does really bad must use it in combination with lactulose to achieve somewhat desired results.
