I expect that as they sort out the gut's microbiota they will find even more beneficial strains including some that might be useful to the PWP. |
have you taken any of these?

"The first probiotic specifically developed for gluten and casein intolerant people including: Autism, ADHD, and Celiac HMF Neuro Capsules contains a specifically selected strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (CLT341) which has been proven in scientific trials to degrade wheat and dairy exorphins, and to attach to and colonize intestinal epithelial cells." |
To get a list of what we've tried in one place, let me point to Post 49 in this thread. There I wrote:
"The reports of fecal transplants led me to investigate probiotic yogurt as a possibly safer alternative. I made this myself in large quantities, 6 pints at a time. This seemed to give me a small benefit. But I have since backed off because I was putting on too much weight." I used lactobacillus acidophilus. John |

More evidence of gut biome linkage to PD

Quote:
i don't think they are saying bacteria influences pd symptoms or causes it?? they'd have to check bacteria in people not yet manifesting pd symptoms. but if bacteria was somehow causing pd you'd think there were be clusters of pd in different countries or communities based on diet. but interesting to say the least? |
I can't say I even understand this, but I can add that on the advice of my doctor, I started taking probiotic pills about a month ago and Yippee!, no more constipation!

It's 4 years now since this thread was started following an article in New Scientist. The magazine is still reporting on faecal transplantation [1].
In a recent edition Parkinson's is mentioned in passing, but no examples of FT's use in this area are given. Talking generally, the good news is that "[faecal transplants] are a lifeline for people with recurrent Clostridium difficile infections of the gut, which cause diarrhoea and fever, and can be fatal. These infections can recur after antibiotic treatment, but are cured 90 per cent of the time after a faecal transplant." The bad news is that the transplant may pass disease to the recipient. Given this more effort is being made to screen donors, with ironically Parkinson's being a reason for exclusion.

Here's some pretty recent study results, specific to gut link to PD.
I'm a newbie so I have to*edit* The most interesting thing in this study is that it names the bacteria that are out of whack .. __________________________________________________ ______ *edit* (Copyright 1995-2015 by ScienceDaily, LLC or by third-party sources, where indicated.) _____________________________________ I myself am taking caprylic acid supplements (found in coconut oil BTW) to reduce some of the candida bacteria I have. Apparently one sign that bacteria overgrowth has expanded into the small intestine is excessive gas and a pungent smell when defecating. I'm guilty on both counts. Next month I have a colonoscopy, which wipes out most of the flora, and then I'll be taking a few different probiotics. I am gonna see if it changes things for me. |
