Constipation
Constipation can be caused by many conditions, such as IBS, an underactive thyroid or as a side effect from certain medications. Straining for a bowel movement could be recognized as an early symptom for Parkinson's disease.
Constipation develops because this neurological condition also affects the nerves and muscles involved in moving the stool through the intestines. Drinking more water, consuming more fiber and taking laxatives are recommended for treating constipation.
