There seems to be more and more information linking the stomach with PD. I went gluten free as I felt it was something I could do that may help slow progression. I have no direct evidence of benefit apart from my stomach being more settled. One of the best guides I found was “Parkinsons Disease - the way forward” by Lucille Leader. It’s a bit dated now but still quite relevant. Also some research on rats has found that induced PD does not progress when the vagus nerve between stomach and brain is cut. Also I am keeping my eye on a study currently in place investigating the possible benefits of a probiotic “Symprove”. Just the fact that this study is taking place indicates researchers feel the stomach has the potential to be implicated.
