Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Addition of guar gum (22.5 g/l) delayed the mouth-to-caecum transit time of a hypotonic lactulose drink , but did not affect gastric emptying.

By contrast, the viscous but readily fermentable gelling agent guar gum , 5 g three times daily, further accelerated the cathartic effect of lactulose , with the mean transit time decreasing from 6.4 +/- 2.3 to 4.7 +/- 1.7 hours (n = 8; P less than 0.05).
