Lactulose for constipation?

Since last two days, I'm having constipation due to which stools are too hard so I'm not able to freshen up. Like too little with quite some pressure. I am hydrating and walking. I bought Looz syrup which is Lactulose, it was given to one of my relatives for constipation. How much dosage should I take, like how much and when and for how long? I'm 25 years old, female. Also due to constipation I'm feeling bloated with a warm moving feeling inside my stomach. Or should I consult a doctor first, it's the third day.

Malabsorption of food & unable to retain

My 50-year-old mother is experiencing an overactive gastro-colic reflex and rapid intestinal transit, causing an urgent need to pass loose, unformed stools almost immediately after consuming meals with medium spices, heavy oils, or outside food. She experiences a feeling of nutrient malabsorption and general weakness during these episodes, but her bowel habits normalize completely into well-formed stools whenever she rests and adheres strictly to a home-cooked bland diet. She currently does not exhibit any major red-flag symptoms such as a high-grade fever, severe localized abdominal pain, visible blood in the stool, but she definitely had some sudden weight loss and her cheeks look so flat and in pain it seems. What is the problem and how to rule out Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-D) or food intolerances.
