New research suggests that issues with digestion could serve as a warning sign of Parkinson's disease.

Digestive issues can increase the likelihood of developing Parkinson's disease. A study has found that patients with gut problems, such as constipation or difficulty swallowing, are at a higher risk of developing the condition. Previous studies have already established a connection between the gastrointestinal tract and conditions like Alzheimer's disease, strokes, and brain aneurysms. While there is evidence to suggest that Parkinson's disease may also originate in the gut, there have been limited studies exploring its relationship with specific digestive disorders.
