Parkinson’s Disease Can Begin in the Gut, Not the Brain

Parkinson’s Disease is best known for causing tremors and movement problems, but researchers believe some cases may start in the digestive system years before any shaking appears. Constipation, reduced sense of smell, and other digestive issues can show up a decade or more before classic symptoms. This has led scientists to study how gut bacteria and the vagus nerve may play a role in the disease’s development.
