Helen--re: constipation, this is a problem based in PD and aggravated by the meds. I will send you thre "constipation protocol" but suggest you get further info from the archives as thereis a lot of material there. Email John Cottingham at <jcott.ionet.net> and put "archive search" in subject line, tell him then when you want. There aren't any easy answers, and it IS a dangerous prioblem for PWPs.
