Brief Answer:
Gastritis and anxiety might be the underlying problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
It is due to gastritis along with some element of anxiety. Anxiety can worsen the gastritis and stomach discomfort. Altered food habits and multiple drugs can further deteriorate her bowel symptoms.
As of now she can try over the counter available antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. Include more fiber rich foods in the diet. If constipation persists laxatives like lactulose can be added.
Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit. Depression and anxiety are more common in people with neurological diseases like Parkinson’s.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
