Dear Ray, As I read your post of these healthy tips, I noticed a suggestion of no acidic drinks to settle the stomach. Among these was listed grapefruit. What I read about the drug interaction of sinemet and grapefruit can be serious. Waiting to take many well known medications including Sinemet can cause serious interactions - even up to 24 hours - after you drink grapefruit juice. This includes statin drugs which many of us take to control cholesterol. I read labels of fruit juices watching for inclusion of grapefruit in any form. This also includes pomelos and seville oranges as well. I was surprised to see how often these fruits might be included within purchased mixed juices. It would seem that to include grapefruit in what should be avoided if one has a upset stomach, is to miss the crucial reason why those who have PD, and are on Sinemet, should avoid all grapefruit. Thanks Ray for the tips, Audrey cg pwp John (aussie) 58/47/ ?
