Solutions for gut microbiome of Parkinson?

[Victor1975]

According Dr. Haydeh Payami scholars.uab.edu/display/hp...

"The study found an overabundance of opportunistic pathogens and immunogenic components – suggesting infection and inflammation at play, overproduction of toxic molecules, and overabundance of the bacterial product curli. This induces PD pathology and dysregulation of neurotransmitters, including L-dopa, an amino acid. Results showed there was also a shortage of neuroprotective molecules and anti-inflammatory components, which makes recovery difficult."

I have these key answer:

What is the best diet for Parkinson patients?

Is advisable to take probiotics ? Which?

Is there a anti-curli solution?

see the work of Dr Laurie Mischley in Seattle. After studying 1000s, she’s concluded that a whole food, plant based diet is best for long term results with PD. Get rid of dairy etc.

For probiotics, there is a new one with limited PD testing called Bened Life. We also use pro and prebiotics from Biohm Health— company led by professor/scientist who’s worlds leading expert on micro biome.

Have you taken Biohm’s gut test? If so, would recommend it? Thank you

I am a fan of the SCD: The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) has been shown to normalize the microbiome in people with Crohn's ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/a... and UC. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/a...

So I found this handy PDF to print out: Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) Allowable Foods siboinfo.com/uploads/5/4/8/...

Now... I don't know anybody that connects the SCD with helping PD. It just makes sense to me as it might help normalize the microbiome. And I don't know how tightly this diet needs to be followed.

On top of the SCD, I also don't eat gluten or lectins: youtu.be/mjQZCCiV6iA(Not working as expected?)

I live mostly on Broccoli sprouts, meatballs, onions, and cheddar cheese.

I doubt that any expert would recommend my diet.

I have both Crohns and PD. I don't have any problems with my diet and so far, I have quite successfully dealt with constipation. Many things I don't eat and many things I shouldn't, but there is no rule... I am pretty sure there is a vital relation between the s.c. gut biome and PD, but what is it? I cannot process so much info as I used to. This is why I need a good doctor.

I forgot: my father had both Crohns and PD...
