Binds with ammonia in the colon. I know what lactulose is Ive had the lovely experience of administering it personaly many times.

And I know what the intent of the original poster was but nice summary I suppose...

Ive never seen fluid resuscitation via colonic route either and for a good reason...it wouldnt work I'm sure. But like I said I would like to see research to support it. Desperate or not if it doesnt work it doesnt work and time could be better spent doing something else-
