Immediately after I began taking selegiline in 2010 my bowels clammed up on me. At first I took natural laxatives but I got a suggestion from another PWP that eating 6 dried figs a day could help. I find that it does. My constipation is only correlated with selegiline so I suppose things may vary if one's constipation correlates with PD progression instead of a drug like selegiline which is known to cause constipation. Also, dietitians have warned of the possibility of too much sugar intake as dried fruit is usually sweetened, so one may want to wash the figs or use something else.
