ABSTRACT
This article reviews the most common gastrointestinal (GI) problems that occur in patients with Parkinson disease, including weight loss, drooling, dysphagia, delayed gastric emptying, constipation, and defecatory dysfunction. Appropriate workup and treatment options are reviewed in detail in order to provide clinicians with a comprehensive and practical guide to managing these problems in Parkinson disease patients. GI adverse effects of commonly used Parkinson disease motor medications are also reviewed.
