Confirming PD via the colon
 
Now here's s new approach! As you know, there is no blood test, x-ray, or any diagnostic test to confirm that what symptoms are observed are indeed Parkinson's. But this article says that they have strong suggestions in a study that showed positive results by having a flexible sigmoidoscopy.

I have long suspected a connection of the colon and PD.
