Thanks nita u made me smile. Nutrition is not easy and definitely needs professionals to devise a plan. I eat a weekly Linders white chocolate candy bar. Pudding made with ensure was made once and I stated please don't eat the pudding. I was in my recliner and hear rummaging in the frig., took a breath and stated 'ensure pudding' hoping he could hear me. I got a thanks and something else was chosen. I can't have high fiber foods like nuts, veggies or fruits - low motility digestive problems. I am experimenting this week with apricot nectar juice. It was on the list, so I hope it works. I drink about 64-80 ounces of gatorade daily, 2-3 ensures with calcium, hot water 2-3 mugs, carnation instant breakfast with hot water, so fluids aren't an issue. I drink throughout the day. Don't know about the calories of the bar nor do I care. HOWEVER, I know the important of nutrition and keep a balance with vanilla yogurt, ensure with the calcium, and baby foods, creme soups, chicken broth , hormel liverwurst. fats are hard to digest and make me very fatigued, so we balance it out with rehab/excercise and walk. I love my walks. 3 cans of ensure a day and hoping that will help many things. I stay away from caffeine. I don't need it. As for the teeth brushing, I use a electric tooth brush and keep my fingers away from the on and off button that is on the handle. Also, use mouthwash. I have atypical Parkinson's and P.O.T.S. with lean towards MSA. nancy m. NITA ANDRES wrote: > > This is not very scientific, but it is working. Big Snickers at 500 calories a pop. He brushes his teeth well, always has. So far he has gained 10 lbs. It is almost funny after having seen a nutritionist to wind up with Snickers. Which I should have thought of in the first place. > > Nita, cg David 83 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
