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

Thanks so very much for this response. My husband has the REM sleep loss of smell and this. He also is anemic. Someone posted about anemia being one of their symptoms. He is not interested in getting an exam yet, but I’m trying to learn all I can for his benefit. He is 66.
