Kaf, I can understand why you wish to go to a multidisciplinary institute like Mayo Clinic where doctors from different specialties work together to serve the unique and multiple chronic conditions and needs of a patient. If you submitted the referral to the GI department, you might consider resubmitting with a physician referral to neurology.

I updated the title of this discussion to encourage others who are managing both conditions to chime in. While not necessarily ulcerative colitis, @hopeful33250 also deals with serious GI issus along with Parkinson’s and she may have additional thoughts. It is challenging to manage conditions where treatments may be contraindicated.

What treatments for UC are having ill effects for Parkinson’s or vice versa for your husband?
