- every night, I take a sachet of macrogel (movicol) mixed into a cup of milk kefir or yogurt;
- every morning I take my first levodopa of the day, and at a variable time after eat breakfast;
- every second day I give myself an enema, perhaps 30 minutes after eating breakfast;
- wait perhaps 5 minutes, give a slight strain, and out it comes.

I chose kefir to get rid of the taste of macrogel, which was stopping me from taking it. But, it has been mentioned in its own right by Bergamotte in an earlier post in this thread as a way to reduce constipation.

Seems like alot of effort to solve a common problem that most PDers have. I simply take 400 mg of magnesium daily and problem disappeared! Hope this helps!
