To the poor soul who has Parkinson’s Disease, bless your heart. I have had slow bowels too so I’ll share what my drs have advised me to do: stay on Miralax 1/2 glass am, other half pm. Take 2 Mag Oxide that has some calcium in with it, at bedtime. Eat Kiwi fruit or two prunes and ground Chiaseed for two types of fiber, each am. Drink half ur wt in filtered water that has minerals. Walk a lot. If no BM’s, start taking Senacot-S wh has both softener and stimulant. Or Colace 2 in 1 - same.

Thank you for your advice! I do prunes every day, but Kiwi and Chiaseed I have not tried! Parkinson’s can be very difficult to deal with, as it is, so any advice I can get, to help with slow peristalsis is a bonus! My Doc stated Miralax, and a fiber supplement ( like Metamucil ), every day, as his only advice.,Thanks for your kind words and excellent advice! Doug
