Dear Teo,
Thanks for your post, it's a good reminder that bloating can be caused by a number of conditions, and it's important to talk with your doctor. The PD medications known as agonists, such as Requip and Mirapex, can cause bloating. Also, gastroparesis (slowed stomach emptying) can cause excess stomach acid, which, mixed with food, creates gas and bloating in the stomach. I encourage all folks to talk with your doctor if this occurs.
