Abstract

Gastrointestinal dysfunction is the most common autonomic, non-motor problem in Parkinson’s disease (PD), and is more prevalent in patients with PD than in the general population [1–3]. These gastrointestinal disorders, which include salivary excess, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), nausea/gastroparesis, constipation, and other forms of bowel dysfunction, can cause serious complications, including weight loss [4, 5].
