  =============X===========================================================
  THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION 1: RIFAXIMIN (550 mg BID)
  Kills colonic urease-producing bacteria & downregulates gut glutaminase.
  =========================================================================
  THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION 2: LACTULOSE (Oral/NG or 300 mL Retention Enema)
  Non-absorbable disaccharide (Galactose-Fructose) reaches cecum/colon intact
  --> Colonic saccharolytic bacteria ferment Lactulose into LACTIC & ACETIC ACID
  --> Drops Colonic Luminal pH from 7.0 down to < 5.0.

  [ACIDIFIED COLONIC LUMEN (pH < 5.0): THE ION TRAP]
   Diffusible NH3 Gas + H+  ====>  Charged Ammonium Ion (NH4+)
   - Because NH4+ carries a positive electrical charge, it CANNOT cross the
     colonic mucosa into the blood (AND blood NH3 diffuses *into* the acidic
     colon to become trapped as NH4+.).
   - Osmotic catharsis purges trapped NH4+ out in 2 to 3 soft stools/day.
