hi all the topic of parkies craving sweets has come up several times many of us are 'addicted' to ice cream and/or chocolate and/or both personally, i have a much stronger 'sweet tooth' than pre-pd i have wondered whether it is related to the slight hint of nausea that sinemet causes to lurk around in the background [for me, anyway] the issue of sugar 'helping' the absorption of sinemet has come up before as well many of us take our meds with sweet drinks for better 'absorption' since pubmed wasn't available then i decided to do a quick search and came up with very little i have just posted three abstracts that are related to sugar the german one is the only one i found that refers to sugar helping the absorption of l-dopa but, interestingly, it mentions the blood-brain barrier not the digestive system it seems odd that no other studies have been done [or at least none that i can find] your sweet syber syblyng janet janet [log in to unmask]
