My Parkinson's life is so confusing - this is not easy.

Does anyone else have sever cramping in the bowels mainly in the before noon time? If talking about bowel pain or problems is not considered proper talk let me know. I am not on any medications at this time and think my next doctors appointment is about six months away. Basically just on some exercise things two or three times a day.

@kshansen "potty talk" is okay by us : ) For me, I try to drink plenty of fluids. I also start my day by drinking six ounces of warm water mixed with a little salt and one or two ounces of lemon juice on an empty stomach and then try to wait at least 30 minutes before I eat breakfast, sometimes up to an hour. It doesn't act immediately but you may get some movement later in the day. Try it for a week to see if it helps. Also, your doctor can advise you on the impact Sinamet will have but I believe it helps with many types of movement, not just legs and arms but also bowels.
Best wishes, Joe

Yes. Buscapena really helps. (Spanish med) But it may be the same in English.
@kshansen I do find that the Parkinsons exacerbates my IBS - this may be because my tolerance in dealing with stress is so greatly reduced

@kshansen - no problem at all talking about bowels. This is all part of how other members here can support you. Tagging @kshansen @jtes @jflamini @southwest may have some ideas for you about Parkinson's and how to manage severe bowel cramping.
