Hi Elaine, We have a dietician right here on this LIST... Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD Author: "Eat well, stay well with Parkinson's disease" "Constipation and Parkinson's" -- audiocassette & guidebook "Guidelines for Medical Nutrition Therapy for Parkinson's disease" & Risk Assessment Tools "Risk for malnutrition and bone fracture in Parkinson's disease," J Nutr Elderly. V18:3;1999. http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/ e-mail at "Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD" <[log in to unmask]> I've taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of this post to Kathrynne. I've read her book, met her in 3D, attended one of her excellent presentations, and personally and entheusiastically endorse Kathrynne's efforts and hard work on behalf of PWP.
