FRED and BARB>>>> I use Swiss Kriss, one tablet a day-herbal, gentle, has relieved ALL of my PD-related and medication- related constipation, for six months now, without causing the runs or any irritation of any kind. Swiss Kriss herbal tablets from Modern Products, Milwaukee Wisc. I discovered this product from a nurse who used to be my across-the-street neighbor. It has powdered senna leaves, along with peach, raspberry and licorice. This makes "pooping" a whole new experience! I got my Swiss Kriss from my local organic food store (Whole Grocer, Portland, Maine).
