What information could you benefit from?
Gut Health PD includes modules on general gut health as well as modules on specific gut related problems associated with Parkinson’s. Up to 80% of people with Parkinson’s experience these gut-related problems; constipation, gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Some people may have several of these issues, whilst others might only have one or two. Not everyone will experience all of them. We’ve created a short questionnaire which helps to identify the lessons that may be most helpful for you. Don’t worry, you will still be able to access all of the content, regardless of the gut symptoms you have.
