yes we are using lactulose, double doses. We are on a no meat diet but can't seem to find a diet for liver failure. The doctor told us fruit and vegetables, but how can I find an actual diet? We don't get to go to San Francisco until the first of the year to get him on a transplant list? Not sure what to actually feed him. Anyone have any suggestions?
Rifaximin has shown promise. It's an antibiotic that is being studied as a treatment of Hepatic Encephalopathy and it has been shown to normalize ammonia levels in some patients.

Stay away from excessive animal protein and speak to your physician about using something like lactulose.
Are you currently using Lactulose?
