In Parkinson’s, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. These symptoms arise from the involvement of the autonomic nervous system and can include constipation, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying), and other digestive issues. A gastroenterologist is a key member of your care team and can help treat these symptoms.
