Ronald Pfeiffer, M.D. has (and continues to do) studies on the GI problems associated with Parkinson's disease. In fact, he wrote an essay for us several years ago and is now in the process of updating it for us. For anyone who would like the original essay, please send me your name and mailing address and I'll send it to you. When the newer edition is available, I'll let the list know.
