Thanks so much for your reply, Beth! I haven’t tried Whole Foods cranberry muffins, but I love Trader Joe’s blueberry muffins and banana walnut bread. Sweet, plain, and bland are what taste “good” to me these days. And, yes, plain Saltines fall into those categories. I need salt as well, and plain Saltines check all the boxes. My doctor hasn’t recommended anything, but I will be seeing a new PCP in November, and I imagine she’ll have some valuable suggestions. I haven’t tried FDGuard, but I took IBGuard for a long time prior to my diagnosis as I thought my digestive issues were due to IBS (PD wasn’t anywhere on my radar). Like your experience with FDGuard, the IBGuard didn’t help me. I agree — Parkinson’s has changed my tastes. It’s sad because I used to really enjoy eating and trying a variety of flavors and seasonings. Like you, I wouldn’t eat now if I didn’t have to, which I know is hard for most other people to understand. Yes, let’s stay in touch, Beth! That would be great!
