Constipation is a real problem for PD patients. I hope that you have mentioned this to your doctor. An appointment with a gastroenterologist might be a good idea to make sure the constipation is related to PD and not to another GI issue.

In the meantime, I suggest that you browse through the Digestive Health support group on Mayo Connect. There are several discussions related to constipation. You may find some helpful information in these discussions. Here is a link to many of those posts: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/digestive-gastrointestinal-problems/

I hope you and your medical team will find some answers to help. Will you post again with any questions or concerns?
