Here is an answer to your second question;
Book: Eat well, Stay well with Parkinson's Disease, by Kathrynne Holden,
MS, RD,
a Parkinson specialist. A book about diet for Parkinson's disease.

In general Dopamine meds should be taken separate in time from proteins,
because the proteins interfere with Dopamine absorption. The
recommendation is to take the Meds half hour before a meal.

My mom seems to be having some post nasal drip and/or summer time
allergies.
Does anyone have any experience/information about any negative reactions
to
giving a dose of children's Bendryl to someone on sinemet (she takes 25
mgs.
four times a day.) Before she went on sinemet I wouldn't have hesitated to
give her a dose.
If Bendedryl isn't appropriate is there an antihistimine that will work? I
have been giving her saline nose spray but that just doesn't seem to be
enough.
Also, on a totally different topic, I have been noticing people talking
about
protein and not to take it too close to a dose of sinemet. Is there a
book
or website that talks about nutrition suggestions for Parkinson patients?
I would love to hear about any dietary information that anyone on the list
has discovered.
Thanks,
Peggy caregiver for her mom Barbara
