Gluten and Parkinson's Disease

Gluten and Parkinson's Disease, a phrase I never thought I would hear together. But it has happened. Gluten is becoming my kryptonite, and causes all sorts of problems for me, including prolonged OFF times. Watch to find out how I am dealing with it.

You are onto something Dave, my wife has issues after eating breakfast, we are so brainwashed that grain products are healthy for us. As her caregiver I will remove it from her diet and let you know of the results, also her Rouge is arriving Monday just in time for her birthday, hopefully it will also help.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Rob. I agree we are literally brainwashed about certain things, and long habits are difficult to change. If food makes me feel bad and puts me OFF I am only hurting myself. Change is immanent. Let me know how it works out please, and happy birthday to your wife. You selected a great present in my opinion. I use mine everyday twice a day.😊😁😀

[@maryr7627]

I listened to this before breakfast. Guess what I had for breakfast? Banana, blue berries and mango with chopped walnuts and soy milk! Satisfies the desire for crunchy sweet cereal

[@LifewithParkinsons]

@@maryr7627 Hi Mary. That sounds like a great breakfast 😃👍

[@erinnoel4306]

So interesting, thank you. I notice feeling much better without gluten, soy and minimal dairy

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Erin. The way this is developing I am also feeling much better. With the changeover I am always hungry now. I suppose that's the withdrawal symptoms.😊😁😀

[@johnbutters3312]

Thanks so much David for experimenting and letting us know. Gluten! That seems so logical. Will give removing it a go. cheers John

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thanks John, please let me know how it goes😊😁😀

Thank you so much for sharing this.

Your welcome Gayle. There is an update video also. 😁😊😃 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCyh6iamZqNf5Y

[@davidfarris2359]

Great video! I have long believed that PD is an autoimmune disease and nobody with an autoimmune disease should eat gluten. I take it further and avoid lectins also. Thanks!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi David. I learned a lot the last few weeks looking into this, and am still blown away. Lectins have joined the lost list of things I can't eat as well. I'm thinking stone soup may be on the menu soon.😊😁😀

how amazing you found another tool to help you. I will look into it! thank you!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Peter, glad it is helpful. Please let me know how it turns out for you. Thanks.😊😁😀

[@moholland1953]

Thanks David. Makes you wonder what's safe to eat .

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Mo, that is the dilemma we are working on at this moment. Getting rather hungry, can't live on Larabars forever lol. 😀😁😊

[@danear2]

You looks very good!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thank you so much😊😁😀

[@lynnpoag8173]

Makes sense. I know 2 people with autistic kids and they couldn’t handle gluten or dairy. I have heard that no one can actually digest gluten. Staying away from all wheat/grains would be a good idea, but it’s absolutely everywhere along with corn, soy and all seed oils. Ask if these are extremely inflammatory. The food pyramid is upside down.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Lynn. Yes, I agree that the food pyramid is upside down. All the pesticides and chemicals that are being used in the production of our food can't be good for us. So happy to be off the gluten and to be feeling a little better.😊😁😀

[@JeremyMcdonald]

This video very informative. Thx, David!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thanks Jeremy, I hope it helps😊😁😀

[@Amira12895]

Hi, hope you're doing well. Just want ask you about creatine do you feel any improvement in your body strenght when you take it.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Yes I do. Creatine is very helpful😊😁😀

[@mariloubrewer4811]

It takes 6 months to get it out of your system and 1/8 of a teaspoon to set you off again!!!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Marilou, that is a chilling thought.😊😁😀

[@gltam1057]

Thank you so very much for the information, God bless you ❤️🙏.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

@@gltam1057 Your welcome😊😊😁😁😀😀

[@tomrio9914]

Thanks, David! So no gluten is good. (I happen to love anything bread). Protein is bad for Parkinson’s medicine absorption. (I’m a protein fiend). Did I mention I hate vegetables? In a nutshell I will lose weight. (Forcibly I might add). What am I to do? 😂😢

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Love your comment Tom, it is exactly how I feel. I say to my wife, what can I eat???? I'm thinking stone soup may find a home here lol.😊😁😁😀

[@lynnpoag8173]

I can’t imagine why carbonated water gives issues. Do you know why? My husband with Parkinson’s LOVES his carbonated waters. I am already pressuring him to stop drinking coffee. If I take away carbonated water, I think he’ll divorce me.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

I will be looking into the carbonated water and yeast just as soon as I have a chance. I have no idea why the water is able to kick out the meds. Someone already says they have the same problem. Ditching coffee in my opinion is a good idea.😊😀😊

[@James_Is_Free]

I'm 12 days into my gluten free life.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi James. How is the changeover going? Some days have been rough for me?😊😁😀

[@James_Is_Free]

@@LifewithParkinsons Hi Dave, i've just gotten over the flu-like symptoms (muscle aches and pains). Still feel a bit groggy though - but that's to be expected. It's going to take a fair few months, I'm guessing, before we see the real improvements. To come off of something that we have been eating our whole entire lives was never going to be easy. It was never going to be a quick fix.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

@@James_Is_Free thanks for letting me know how your symptoms are progressing. Yes the flu ones weren't fun I had them for a bit they went away and came back again. I'm hoping I'm over the peak now. Would be great to have my energy level come back up soon. On a Parkinson's side I wouldn't recommend that anyone do this alone as some of the really bad times I needed help with stuff

[@James_Is_Free]

@@LifewithParkinsons Our digestive systems will take a bit of time to correct themselves as well.

[@ohblimey21]

Interesting but remember, Hippocrates also believed that we are made of 4 Humours and er……….we’re not!

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Sutton, good point. That's funny he believed that lol jk.😊😁😀

[@ninarodocker2946]

So did you retest yourself with gluten on another day? And are you going without it all the time now?

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Nina, yes I tested a few times, it's obvious now. I am extremely sensitive to gluten. Having withdrawal symptoms today.😊😁😀

[@mohsinsheikh8076]

Maula Ali said about Gut health 1500 years back, if that's of interest to you.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Thanks Mohsin, that is of interest. Tried looking for it but difficult to find. Interesting that someone else figured it out 1500 years ago. I need some ideas for gluten free flour if you have any.😀😁😊

[@loriwong3]

Just this morning I switched drinking carbonate(suggested from Dr) water for just plain water and I was on instantly.

[@LifewithParkinsons]

Hi Lori, I believe you, it's happened to me as well. I had a super bad off in a public place due to carbonated water. Was not fun.😊😁😀

[@ninarodocker2946]

What is carbonated water?
