Hi

My father aged 70, is suffering with parkinson since 14 years and is under allopathic medication. His mobility is reduced a lot.

He is suffering high constipation. We are using all sorts of laxatives and it takes 2 - 3 days of laxative usage before he empty's his bowls. Often his stools are so hard, some one has to help him with fingers to empty.

Further , since past one year we are observing that his legs are becoming thinner and constipation is increasing. Due to parkinson he is not moving much and almost confined to bed.

He gets emotionally disturbed (often he asks for poison !!!) till he empties his bowels and after that he comes back to normal.

The suffering due to constipation is becoming more than the parkinson and the use of laxatives is creating some sort of abdominal pain.

Can any one suggest some medicine for his constipation? As of now he takes Parkinson drugs + BP Drugs + Blood thinning Drugs (all allopathy and some ayurvedic drugs also for parkinson.

Thanks
Nag
