Has anyone had success with gluten free diet reducing PD symptoms?
I have gone gluten-free and dairy free. due to digestive issues and it has made a world of difference. I basically follow a Mediterranean diet with good results.

That was one of the first things my doctor told me to do. Cut out the gluten. My oldest daughter is gluten intolerant and she was trying to get pregnant so her doctor told her to stop eating gluten (she has PCOS). My youngest daughter and I cut down on gluten to support my oldest. My doctor told me to completely cut gluten after I was diagnosed with PD. It has helps but I also know when I have eaten gluten.
My PD doctor did say that it would help if I has other issues like stomach problem but since I did not he didn't recommend it. I hope being gluten free continues to help you.
I went gluten free a few years ago before I was diagnosed with Parkinson's as I was having lots of stomach problems fatigue and very foggy brain .. Iall those symptoms went away so I stayed gluten free...I felt I had nothing to lose trying it....
I asked my PD doctor if he thought being on a gluten free diet would help with PD. He didn't feel that it would help.
