Members shared a wide range of remedies for constipation related to Parkinson's, with prune juice and whole prunes being the most popular solutions, many noting that a daily glass or a small handful each morning helped keep them regular. Several members also found success with Miralax, Colace, magnesium, olive oil, and high-fiber foods like oatmeal, spinach, figs, and beets, while noting that staying well hydrated and getting exercise also made a big difference. A recurring theme was that everyone responds differently, so starting slowly and checking with a doctor before trying new remedies is always a good idea.

Over here we have good luck with the following (NOT all at once, though, or you'll get the opposite problem!): figs, beets, artichoke hearts, oatmeal, apples, carrot juice with no added sugar, water, water, water, exercise
