Did some study on the headache problem and was told, if you are taking enulose for hep-c. Stay away from red meat, high protein and do not drink large amounts of water. Need juices as a sub for water.
If your on meds, stay away from Bezodiazipan (valium, Klonipin etc. and narcotic pain meds). Reccomended to try acupuncture and massage for stress and pain.
Forgot to let you know if you forget a dose or two . For example if you go somewhere without. You get encepalopathy (brain fog). You for get things. Can't speak clearly or make sense. So don't forget to take it.
Don't have hepatitis ,but do take lactulose for high ammonia levels.I've been taking it for almost a year. I've never gotten any headaches from lactulose. I do take L-Ornathane I get it at the health food store. Not sure what it is supposed to do but I'm trying. It's taken me this long to regulate the lactulose so I don't get sudden urges. But the gas is still bad. Can't take meds for that because they interfear with my other meds. Good luck. cat33
I take enulose, which is the same thing. High ammonia levels can lead to coma and death - nothing to play around with.
I think perhaps your headaches are from the ammonia level being so high. It is a by product of meats.
The sides are flatulence and very watery excretions because the lactulose draws fluids into the colon.
I don't believe you'll get headaches from the lactulose, but it will clean you out !
Caveate ~~~ be carefull if you need to fart, often more comes out than just air.
Thank you, I will look up the book and ask about the amino acids

High ammonia levels lead to brain fog. I used 2 amino acids (arginine and orthinine as suggested by Dr. H. Clark in her book on HIV, only one page was about HCV).
