Barb Yacos--thanks for the additional info re: cisapride. Hadn't heard that. The post I just read about the "brain in the gut" is intriguing, and I wonder if it refers to the fact that there are Lewy bodies in the intestine, apparently, klie those in the brain? I read that this relates to the guts' absorption of dopamine somehow?--in the end is related to protein in the diet competing with the Sinemet to connect with dopamine receptors---is this approximately correct??Or---??? Seems it might make sense. Camilla Flintermann,CG for Peter,76/6+
