PD unfortunately slows everythng down including the motion of the intestines. Feeling lousy is just part of it from time to time. Pepto Bismo sometimes gives me relief but mainly I just try not to include to many foods at the same time that produce gas or acceleration . Constipation is a common side effect of the slowing action and some meds also cause this further compounding the problem . To a better day.
