I was reminded of the benefits of a low protein diet for some PWP over Christmas. Christmas Eve and Day, I indulged my taste for such things as pickled herring, deviled eggs, various cheeses and meats at a family smorgasbord. Yesterday, my PD symptoms were back with a vengeance. It was as if my medications had quit working. I immediately resumed my low protein diet and today my PD symptoms were reduced considerably. If you are using Sinemet, you may want to try a low protein diet (under medical direction) to see if it increases the efficiency of your medication. (I use Sinemet CR.)
