Hi, how are you doing today ? As for your question , the condition you are presenting with may be either inflammatory bowel disease or gluten sensitivity syndrome. So ask the doctor to take a biopsy of the gut and examine for gluten sensitivity or any other food allergy . Gluten is a malt protein present in many of our day to day food products , so if she is having that then just avoiding such foods itself will cure her. Lactulose solution is a synthetic sugar which is used in patients with constipation or in liver disease. Go for a thorough full body testing including colonoscopy, spinchter pressures, blood testing and electrolytes. Hope this clears out your question, hope to converse with you again. Have a nice day.
