## I often eat supper in bed, because I won't have far to go when the episode of cerebral hypotension returns with its vengeance. However, eating in bed increases the likelihood of worsening motility.
## When a recent meal or several become entrapped within the intestine, then a stool softener can be handy.
## As the incompletely digested food resumes being processed, an "echo" episode may and often ensues.
## As other PPH writers have observed, a bowel movement can prompt an episode of cerebral hypotension. For me, this has occurred when I've eaten too much and the intestinal tissues are barely functioning - if at all.

Unfortunately, I have had those problems, too. My doctor adjusted my blood pressure medication, which helped the hypotension, and he had me get stool softener, which I take, when needed. My whole digestive system, which includes swallowing, has slowed down a bit, and I'm careful with portion control, am on a Mediterranean diet, drink plenty of liquids each day, and, eat slowly. My autonomic system is involved now, with the PD symptoms, and I have problems with numbness, peripheral neuropathy, in both hands, and both feet, in addition to the GI track problems.
