Hello - My mom has end stage liver disease. She hates to take her Lactulose which makes her Ammonia level go up. When that happens she gets really mean and confused. After her level comes down, she forgets everything she said and did. I know that it is not really her that is talking and I know she doesn't mean it, but it is really tough.
Has anyone here ever had this problem? How do I get her to take her medicine?
Any help or advice anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.

If she wants to remember what she is doing in a room or can't find her keys, that is a symptom of encepholopathy caused by a high ammonia level. Google it and perhaps you'll get a better understanding of her problem.
