What are prebiotics and how do they help with Parkinson's disease?

Prebiotics are specialized sugars that serve as food for probiotic bacteria and yeasts in your digestive system. They work together with probiotics to support gut health, which research has shown may be linked to Parkinson's disease symptoms. You can take prebiotics and probiotics together in what's called a synbiotic supplement. Some MyParkinsonsTeam members have reported taking both prebiotics and probiotics to help with symptoms like upset stomach and balance issues.

Before starting any supplement regimen, it's important to discuss options with your healthcare provider to determine what might work best for your specific situation.
