Its a day by day thing that I must accept one day at a time.

Without the stuff, I get crazy minded. If the doctors give it to anyone. TAKE IT. We must have 2 to 3 bowel movments a day. We also have to watch the protein intake per day. You can not over dose on Lactulose so if you need to take it more often like me then do it. It controls ammonia levels and that gets me a ambulance ride and a three day stay at the hospital. I can not run out of it.
