May I ask what symptoms you experienced to require a gastroenterologist? I’m thinking my husband has PD or beginning symptoms. Recently he saw a gastroenterologist after suffering episodes of abdominal distress. Pantoprazole has relieved most of his distress.

Primarily the GI symptoms include slow gut with bloating, abdominal pain, and gastroesophageal reflux. Nightly Miralax and occasional (every 2 to 3 wks) Senna tea helps alot. Started taking daily smoothies made with coconut or almond milk, yogurt, frozen fruit and nut butter which supports gut health with minimal bloating helps too. Also take probiotic (Align) as rec by my gastroenterologist. Symptoms present for years before tie to neurodegenerative disease realized. B
