    Just curious, I started my wife (PD 1year) on Mannitol because of the PD benefits I read on these forums however after 1 week she became constipated and developed belly aches??? She blamed Mannitol for this and stopped taking it?? The constipation went away?? Has anyone taking Mannitol experienced increased constipation or is it just coincidence that PD is causing it and not Mannitol with my wife??

    Thanks Dave for the reply on mannitol. I was pretty sure the constipation for my wife Karen was more a PD issue than a mannitol issue, however the first bout with constipation coincidently began within the first week of her taking mannitol, so I could not convince her that it was from PD? I will have to wait until she experiences another issue with constipation without mannitol so that I can get her back on mannitol
