Re: constipation A specialist's recommendation--miller's bran This is available in health food stores, very reasonable in bulk form. Take a teaspoon a day with cereal, salads, in food, etc. Initially it causes gas but this will subside. Increase the amounts to as much as two tablespoons a day, also including roughage in the diet--vegetables, fruit, bran cereals as tolerated. I was able to eliminate the Metamucil, etc. and require just a small amount occasionally now. Previous to this regimen I had constant pain in one side and was on the verge of impaction. Re: fluid/salivation Has anyone noticed an increase in fluid shortly after taking Sinemet? It seems my nose starts running, for example. This makes me wonder if the medication itself causes some excess. Lucile [log in to unmask]
