So, first of all you look good in the shorts/skirt. Secondly, about merchandise, how about notebooks and pens with Amy’s life on? Finally, just sending you and Tom my best Christmas wishes.😀👍🎅🌲🎄⛄️🇬🇧
Hey hun, idk what your chemist told you about it, but I’m in nursing and we have been taught that your should take lactulose 30 minutes away (either before or after) any other meds because it can affect the absorption. Just something you can maybe look into to ensure everything is okay!
I remember my poor Mama taking Lactulose because of an elevated Ammonia level in her bloodstream due to Bile Duct Disease/Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. She had constant watery diarrhea and lived a rather horrid last year of her life.
Aww y’all are to cute. I have been in a really bad place health wise and seeing someone staying so positive and living such an amazing life makes me feel 100x better
Lactulose is made of indigestible milk sugars. It works by drawing water into your colon, but it can cause cramping and bloating. But so can most laxatives so you just have to try. Miralax causes me the least amount of pain, but even that isn’t pleasant. Good luck and I hope you find something that helps move things along. 😊
Your vlogs always distract me and cheer me up. Sometimes I haven't even been listening and have to rewind because I just zone out enjoying you talking about literally anything 😂 like a comfort thing. Baby due in 5 weeks I am just a tad bloated myself 😂😂
Merry Christmas to you both! Thank you for doing vlogmas! So much fun and something to look forward to every day. ⛄️⛄️⛄️ (especially for those of us with chronic illnesses who spend lots of downtime recovering from treatments. You inspire me to want to do more.)
My son was on lactulose and it worked okay for him. He was changed to a stronger one, sachets. But it wasn’t drawing enough water in to help him. Laxatives can be so hit and miss. The first one had him in so much pain with cramping. Love your videos!
How about producing stickers or badges? Maybe in a set of four so you could have illustrations of your dogs, you and Tom in the same pack? Love your Vlogmas videos, glad to see you doing so well :)
Lactulose is very much like really concentrated corn syrup. It is not the type of laxative that makes you "go" soon after taking it. Taken regularly it softens things up.
I take lactulose! And it works usually overnight thats the best time to take it is at night! Well that's what I found out for me! Everybody's body is different and how medication works is different in each person!
I am allergic to lactulose..check with your doctor I believe it can bring your sugar levels up..its a laxative that causes dehydration too...be cautious! Wouldn't want anything to happen to you!
pop sockets, phone covers, oooooh for your spoonie followers you could do things like tubie pads and line clips (the ones that attach to your cloths and the line sits in the loop part of it) Someone else said wrist bands which could be cool specially if you did them for like your diagnosis's like have pots wrist band during that month and then a zebra one during GP awareness month and then maybe proceeds or part proceeds from those wrist bands can go to organisations in Australia that help/support said illnesses
I am currently taking Lactulose. If you can could you take it orally. It tastes almost like honey. It works good. Sometimes can make you crampy or gassy. Just letting you know. But all and all it is good stuff.
Don’t know if someone already told you or not but choc-ice bars sound like Klondike bars which aren’t on a stick but a thin layer of chocolate (different types if you get different flavors) around ice cream and so good. And we also have Dove bars which same type of thing but on a stick. (In the US)
Hi Amy. Yes...Before I got my ileostomy last October, the dr had me try Lactulose. My experience was not so good! It made me have the worse cramps I’ve ever had! He tried me after that on a few other prescriptions, no luck. I ended up with an ileostomy. Amy, since...I’ve had 8 surgeries because of bowel issues. This has all been connectors the stabbing I survived when I was 18 yrs old. Anyway, just because the Lactulose didn’t work for me, remember, I had major issues all in my tummy. It may work great for your!
Lactulose is VERY thick. You will need to flush with lots of water after. It also made me get nauseous, even when going down j tube. But I hope it works for you
@@amyslife4457 you are welcome. I still don't know how you do it. I'm still not sure how I do it. I know things are a lot harder on you than me and I know how much I stugle so I know it can't be any easier for you. I hope and pray that your life will keep moving forward and I know that someday you will become all that you want to be.
My other half has Chronic pancreatitis and can't eat lot of stuff he gets really too I know it's not same you but. Only watch this week and really good your so good xx
Hey Amy, first of all, I love you, you're an awesome person. I love how you're such a warrior with everything happening. I just wanted to give you a helpful tip about your lighter. The shiny middle piece where you place your thumb? Pop that out with tweezers or a small screwdriver. It makes lighting a lighter SO much easier!
What about having a "cartoon" type sketch done of your dog and putting it on a shirt? Have "Amy's Life" in a half circle either over or under your pup. That would be very cute🐶💜
Be thankful you can put that down your tube it tastes good awful. I use it but don't get good results however I can't take anything stronger because I'm pregnant.
Lactulose didn't do much for me actually... I can't remember what dose I took but I was told it was mild and it literally did nothing... I really hope it goes better for you!
Your silly faces crack me up 😂 stationary would be a great merch idea! I have so many notebooks, but I just cannot resist them. Would definitely buy pens, notebooks, stickers, etc. 😊❤️
My son was on lactulose. It works really well but sometimes the amount the doctor prescribes can be too much or not enough. I had to change my sons dose to half of what the doctor prescribed. It may be different for you though!! Love the videos❤️
ok also i was on lactulose once a day for a while and it did nothing for me personally, i can only go with (too much) dulcolax every couple of weeks. i hope it works for you tho!!!!
AMY PLS READ THIS ABOUT LACTALOSE: i was on it for a long time and my doctor couldnt believe my specialists put me on it ...lactalose is a form of undigestable sugar which draws fluid into your bowel which for me made me very dehydrated and made me EXTREMELY bloated because my small intestine is very slow in digestion like yours so it draws water into my intestines but it doesnt go anywhere and makes me feel sooooo sick bloated and nauseous....might be okay for you but i was told to stay away from it because of my bad motility in my intestines... i currently take movicol liquid. Its a concentrate and it works better then the nasty movicol satchets...Merry Christmas and stay safe xx
My cerebral palsy teen ( he’s 16 ) uses lactulose and movicol. Brilliant stuff. Hopefully it works for you ❤️ I give it to him before bed so it works while he’s sleeping.
Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?? 😂 Toms questions are the best and they really make ya go hmmm??? 🤔 lmao I'm gonna ask my bf this when he wakes up! Sending lots of love and blessings you and your fams way Amy, hope you guys are having great holidays. Have fun at your grandparents house! =) Gb y'all!
Amy I think you would and Tom would make great parent's!! And I love the nails I actually might steal the idea and do mine that way lol. Sending you so much love xoxo from Lawton Oklahoma 💞💞☃☃
Personally I would find small items that people can wear as merch that aren't too expensive. Wristbands and badges are good. You'll probably end up making more money from those as more people will be able to afford to buy them (and they can be really cheap to make).
My sister was taking that before her liver transplant now my dad is he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer he had chemo and his tumor is gone.
OMG! Lactulose!! Gas, gas GAS!! Told my doctor they should call it jacuzzi in a bottle, at the time I only had a bathtub. Has anyone suggested coconut oil? Though I'm not sure that it would work with the J tube.
Hi, Amy 💕 I go to the bathroom two or three times a month. My experience was that lactulose increase my abdominal pain and gas and nausea. I took 40ml per day. But still it wasn't easy to go to the bathroom. I tried all the laxative as I could. But nothing came out and I don't feel like have to go to bathroom. 😭 They said that stool is still in the upper part of the X-ray even after 14 days, so if you eat "Miralax", you will get a bowel movement. But still same....... ㅠㅠ It's not yet diagnosed. And next step will be colonic transit study which is sitz marker test. I'm waiting answer for Johns Hopkins.
I bloat like that after eating, I literally had half a tin of sweetcorn and looked pregnant. It's so frustrating especially as doctors don't know whats wrong with me! Im being tested for PoTS ATM tho
This might seem like a really ignorant question, but if you need to drain all the food and drink out after you swallow it, why do you eat at all? I really don't mean to rude/crass etc; I'm just curious.
She doesn't drain it all actually, she wants her stomach to keep whatever it can. She explains more in one of her videos called what I eat in a day with gastroparesis
Oooooo, that lactolose is rum stuff, they got me on it. I'm on 10mls in the evening. I hate taking it because it's so sweet. I can't take a lot of sweet stuff.
iv'e had lactulose its very very sweet and its really thick what i normally do because i don't like sweet syrups i have abit of water in my mouth then take the lactulose with the water as it makes it easier to swallow.
yeah I've had lactulose, it's quite gentle but it's so sweet. good for sweetening cornflakes and tea when you're banned from sugar!!! it's a long story!!!!lol xxxx☺😚👴ps did you sort your pump?
Hi I had that laxative when I was in hospital when I was having a tumour removed from my spine! It was different brand as I live in England but it worked well for me!
Lactulose didn’t work for me and made me really ill! But that was just my experience with it but they then gave me movicol and laxido and that has worked a bit better but nothing seems to be working properly for me🤷🏻♀️
Rice & beans, rice & beans, rice & beans (beat drops!) 😂😂😂 gotta love a bit of I’m a Celebrity, did you watch the celebrity cyclone yet? It was sooo good! I had Lactulose when I was pregnant and it worked a treat for me! Hopefully it helps you go! Fab vlog & loving vlogmas so far! xx
Would love love love love you to give the book away and sign it!!! Omg if you still want to do that I’m in!!!!! Really wanna read that book P.S binge watching your vids ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish i could of tryed the stuffed peppers they sounded amazing id say they defo sound like somthing id enjoy eating and deal with the pain and sickness after lol
And I’m not just referring to your bloating haha also really wanted u to be pregnant 😂 but also was worried what the impact your health might have on the baby and how the baby might impact on your health!
Oh and you should write a book! About your life. I would totally buy that! 😉
So, first of all you look good in the shorts/skirt. Secondly, about merchandise, how about notebooks and pens with Amy’s life on? Finally, just sending you and Tom my best Christmas wishes.😀👍🎅🌲🎄⛄️🇬🇧

Sleepwear/ loungewear, stationary, key chains etc. smaller bits and bobs that are easy to post and have multiple uses :)
C Anderson I’m in for sleep wear!
Amy, you are absolutely beautiful. Stop worrying about how you look. Hope you feel well.
Aww y’all are to cute. I have been in a really bad place health wise and seeing someone staying so positive and living such an amazing life makes me feel 100x better

Lactulose is a very sweet & sticky laxative. Lots of people use it, it didn’t do much for me but it’s a common one!
Lactulose is very much like really concentrated corn syrup. It is not the type of laxative that makes you "go" soon after taking it. Taken regularly it softens things up.

omg i FEEL u with the bloating. sometimes me and my mum try to decide how many months pregnant i look lmao
I just want to say your nails are always on point! They've inspired a few of my own designs.
I’m a nurse and we use lactulose at work. That stuff is sticky! 😂 but very effective. Good luck!
That is a good question! "Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?" ♡
Yes I have had it. It is very thick and sweet. It is quite gentle so it is good.
Don’t know if someone already told you or not but choc-ice bars sound like Klondike bars which aren’t on a stick but a thin layer of chocolate (different types if you get different flavors) around ice cream and so good. And we also have Dove bars which same type of thing but on a stick. (In the US)

Canned drink huggie/koozie or whatever it's called there. Usually made of foam, keeps drink can cold. I would buy that.
Or a nylon shopping bag that says "bits and bobs".
Lactulose didn't do much for me actually... I can't remember what dose I took but I was told it was mild and it literally did nothing... I really hope it goes better for you!
I like my bum I like my thighs I like my breast they very nice... beans and rice

Rice and beans rice and beans rice and beans!!!!
Rice and beans rice and beans rice and beans rice and beanssss
Cameron p. It’s from ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’
Your silly faces crack me up 😂 stationary would be a great merch idea! I have so many notebooks, but I just cannot resist them. Would definitely buy pens, notebooks, stickers, etc. 😊❤️
I love your intro, vlogmas videos are my absolute favourite! Merry Christmas ❤🎄
Omg I love that skirt
But I live in Michigan, in USA. So no cute little skirts at Christmas time for me!
My son was on lactulose. It works really well but sometimes the amount the doctor prescribes can be too much or not enough. I had to change my sons dose to half of what the doctor prescribed. It may be different for you though!! Love the videos❤️
Ok, I FEEL YOU! I'm like a pregnat at 7th month but it's GASTROPARESIS
ok also i was on lactulose once a day for a while and it did nothing for me personally, i can only go with (too much) dulcolax every couple of weeks. i hope it works for you tho!!!!
Don't be like the rest with regards to merch.. do bits and bobs.. like wristbands, compact mirrors ect make it cheap and easy to post too xx

Lactulose is what I was given when I was pregnant and I love it. It actually tastes quite good tbh.
Amy I think you would and Tom would make great parent's!! And I love the nails I actually might steal the idea and do mine that way lol. Sending you so much love xoxo from Lawton Oklahoma 💞💞☃☃
I used to use lactulose as I'm on buprenorphine patch but recently switched to laxido, it dissolves in water so that may be too much liquid for you.
Personally I would find small items that people can wear as merch that aren't too expensive. Wristbands and badges are good. You'll probably end up making more money from those as more people will be able to afford to buy them (and they can be really cheap to make).
Lactulose is my weaker than what you were on. But it’s great once you get regular, it WILL keep you regular. Both are stool softeners, not laxative 😉
My daughter was on lactulose and sadly it only comes in liquid form. She didn’t like it because of the flavor being banana but it did help her.
My sister was taking that before her liver transplant now my dad is he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer he had chemo and his tumor is gone.
OMG! Lactulose!! Gas, gas GAS!! Told my doctor they should call it jacuzzi in a bottle, at the time I only had a bathtub.

I would like coffee mugs, handbags, art, water bottles
photos- yes please,I need so much advice, your YT helps so much
We have Aldi here in Texas! $100 goes such a long way there.
I live in Texas and never seen an Aldi. Where is there one?
I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 and Aldi’s amazing I use my local one all the time x
I bloat like that after eating, I literally had half a tin of sweetcorn and looked pregnant. It's so frustrating especially as doctors don't know whats wrong with me! Im being tested for PoTS ATM tho
I also have gastroparesis and I always get bloated after eating. And there are days when it's so bad I cant eat anything.
Can you Miramax which my doc has me taking every day but...you can mix it in your tea, Dr pepper, juice etc. Clear and no flavor
In US, chocolate ice would be like a Klondike bar...no stick
My daughter was on lactulose as a baby till she was about 4 then she was able to do good on miralax
This might seem like a really ignorant question, but if you need to drain all the food and drink out after you swallow it, why do you eat at all? I really don't mean to rude/crass etc; I'm just curious.

Got to love the gp belly I’m currently have a food baby as I call it
iv'e had lactulose its very very sweet and its really thick what i normally do because i don't like sweet syrups i have abit of water in my mouth then take the lactulose with the water as it makes it easier to swallow.
Amy- you look so amazing!! Your weight is so nicely distributed! I hope you are feeling better as well!
yeah I've had lactulose, it's quite gentle but it's so sweet. good for sweetening cornflakes and tea when you're banned from sugar!!! it's a long story!!!!lol xxxx☺😚👴ps did you sort your pump?
Is there a plan towards fixing your stomach...any sort of treatment the doctor is thinking about?
I don't like lactulose as I find it makes me cramp and bloat and doesn't really work for me. Movicol works the best I find.
Same here
Hi I had that laxative when I was in hospital when I was having a tumour removed from my spine! It was different brand as I live in England but it worked well for me!

The way you and tom communicate is so much like me and my husband haha
Lactulose is good, was on it when I was pregnant and didn't have any issues

Dang, now I want one of those chocolate ice cream thingys. Num num!
I’ve never clicked so fast! 😂
Me too!
Lactulose was horrible for me. It made me pee 100 times a day and did nothing for my motility problems.
Pop sockets are currently super popular and your logo would fit nicely. :-)
Yes the I'm a celeb song! Looking fab ❤️
Would love love love love you to give the book away and sign it!!! Omg if you still want to do that I’m in!!!!! Really wanna read that book P.S binge watching your vids ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amy write a book on your story that would be awesome i would buy it for sure xx
Love you ❤️❤️❤️
My husband takes Lactulose. He takes 45ml 3 times a day.
We all love a Capri sun juice drink but is it?
Cap-pri sun or.... cap-pr-eye sun??
Things that make you go hmmmm....
Omg Amy I 💜 u sooo much, I hope u have a good Christmas !

Make an Amy's Life tote bag, for shopping or a beach bag
Laxative makes you loose weight as well , that’s why people use to help loose weight
You should do some merch with yur signature on it I think that would be pretty on clothing

I love Thomas’s “Things that make you go umm...🧐
I would love it if you had picks and other stuff signed! Great idea.
Amy you’re looking fab can see the weight coming on bet you’re feeling excited!! :)
And I’m not just referring to your bloating haha also really wanted u to be pregnant 😂 but also was worried what the impact your health might have on the baby and how the baby might impact on your health!
Love you so much, so inspirational ❤️
Would you be able to split up the 5ml dose of lactulose required over the span of the day instead of all at once? Just a thought.
