My sister, with PD, just got back from the Mayo Clinic.  A
gastroenterologist there told her that on top of the troubles PD and Sinemet
are causing her (regarding constipation) her sphincter is spasming shut when
it would normally respond to a full gut and open to be purged (trying to be
both accurate and polite here).

He suggested another test and possible inclusion in a bio-feedback program
to help her to teach her sphincter to operate and relax better.

Does anyone have any experience with that program, or using yoga,
relaxation, etc. to help along those lines?

Thanks.
