My mother with PD has always needed to eat a snack with her meds to avoid stomach upset. Just make it a snack with no or little protein. Crackers or cookies work for her.

A friend of mine, a doctor, told me that if I get upset stomach I can take the meds with a spoon of apple sauce and it works for me.
