    I’ve had issues with chronic constipation for at least the last 15-20 years. Once I was diagnosed with PD, it got even worse.

    My GI doc has prescribed both Trulance and Motegrity for me. These were effective for about a week. I have to supplement with stool softeners 4 times a day as well as metamucil/and or my MDS’s recipe of 1 cup bran, 1 cup applesauce and 1 cup of prune juice. 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup at dinner. It helps but it takes a lot of pushing.
