Doooooooes lactulose cause weight gain

Lactulose is a non-absorbable synthetic sugar used primarily as a laxative to treat constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. It is not known to cause weight gain directly; in fact, it often results in weight loss due to its laxative effects. However, individual responses can vary, and some may experience temporary water retention or bloating. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
