I have yet to met a neurologist who responds with more than a blank stare when asked about bloating of the stomach. On an anecdotal level I, for one, experience bloating which occurs only during my 'off' periods. The relationship is so pronounced that if I don't adjust my belt as I 'kick in' my trousers end up around my ankles. It seems to affect many other parkies (I would think about 10%-15% of those I have discussed it with.) Interestingly the bloating disappears without any venting of a bloating agent, The answer, my friend, is NOT blowing in the wind. ====================================== Dennis Greene [log in to unmask] ======================================
