Members responded to the question about constant constipation with Parkinson's by reassuring that they are not alone, with many sharing that it is a very common and frustrating symptom. Several members offered their personal routines, including Miralax in prune juice, Colace, Benefiber, psyllium husk caps, stewed prunes, and high-fiber snacks to help manage the issue. A recurring theme was that finding the right solution takes trial and error, and what works for one person may not work for another, so adjusting over time is key.

I just added Shameless snacks candy to my diet. I don't have to give myself any insulin when I eat them. They are low carb and 26 grams of fiber. 1 pack a day keeps me regular 😉 The only drawback is that they are expensive but very yummy 😋

A lot of great ideas here. You need to find out what works for you now and modify it as time goes by. We are all in the same boat but have our differences for sure as well. Best Wishes

You’re definitely not alone. My Parkinson’s doctor recommended Miralax. It has no taste and can be added to water, coffee or juices. I hope this helps!
