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

Chia seed has worked wonders for me where most other remedies failed. I make a pudding with 3 TBSP chia seeds and 1 cup liquid of choice. Let it sit refrigerated overnight. Add your favorite toppings. All kinds of chia pudding recipes on lines

I’ve found figs help me. We were buying fresh figs and I found that two a day helped with eliminating, an unexpected benefit. Now, I’m buying dried figs since fresh are not available. They seem to help, too. Prunes don’t do much for me.
