Foods that aggravate symptoms...tamarind
I monitor my PD progression by measuring my "Morning Benefit" time (1-2 hr) and the time it takes for my meds to kick in (30-40 min). About 2 weeks ago I consumed a few glasses of tamarind juice and the next morning had the worst case of PD symptoms in 7 years, i.e. no "Morning Benefit" and my Meds never truly kicked in. After about 2 weeks, I am almost back to where I was before I consumed the tamarind juice. So, my question is if there are certain foods that can "assault the brain" and the PD progresses as we get older and that we cannot repair the damage (heal) like we used to. Tamarinds are very high in tartaric acid. I don't know if that is related. Just wondered if anybody has had similar experiences with certain foods.
