Lactulose Destroys Marriages (light-farted)

What a shower of shit this stuff is. I'm six months pregnant with bowel emissions of breeze block. My arse bleeds from the chafed fissures being grazed by titanic turds of granite slowly - excruciatingly - shifting down my rectum until they slump defiantly - Jedi-like - over my botty opening.

'Ooo, try Lactulose', says, like, everyone. I've swallowed this evil tincture morning and night for the past 48 hours and the only result is a marriage on the verge of breakdown due to my grotesque flatulence. I'm currently sat in bed with a super-sized box of Swan matches trying to rid my room of the smell of fermented eggs. My husband's eyes are watering. He keeps yelping: 'What the fuck!' and 'Why haven't you crapped yet??!' My daughter is screaming in the next room and threatening to leave home. She's 19 months-old.

My bottom hurts from the velocity of wind firing out every three seconds. I'm choking in a fug of rancid poo-pong....but still no blessed smooth turd evacuation Sad

AIBU to think this is eight quid down the drain (which is where my shit should be going instead)?

OMG! I know this is an older thread, however I've only just registered for my own mumsnet account because of this very thread!

I found this thread (Google: Lactulose foul odor flatulence led me here!) and I'm surprised my colon hasn't cleared itself already from this laughter! I should mention, each laugh you've all provided, has produced toxic bubbles waifing under my blanket 😂Grin

I'm currently on Lactulose for Hirschsprung's, as well as an umbilical hernia that is rather pained from having "cement gut".

I wanted to thank you all for making me laugh during this rough time!

May I ask Love how things finally happened? Did the Lactulose finally work for you?

Me: American born mum of 3, living in Florida. Youngest DC is 15 YEARS old, the eldest is 20. My uterus is desperate to grow another, we shall see! I'm only 37!

Seriously, I truly appreciate the humour in this thread! I've been taking this syrup for 4 months now, off and on and it has been horribly brilliant to know I'm not alone.

Good luck all! By the way, if you take any laxatives, remember to replace the good bacteria of your gut! Fermented foods and Greek yogurt are just a few things that can help!

Squeeze easy my fellow mums. Flowers
