My boyfriend who is in the early stages of PD has a weight problem (overweight) - partially as a result of emotional upheaval in his life (which is now in the past) and partially, we believe because of the medication he is taking. We feel that it is important that any diet he goes on should be geared toward PDs and we understand that protein plays an important part. Our initial, albeit not yet thorough, search for a qualified nutritionist has got us nowhere. Does anyone have any suggestions. We live in Southern California but geography is not important if we can find the right person for guidance and need to travel for a consultation so be it.
