3. Low-protein diet
A low protein diet is recommended for people living with dyskinesia as it has been found through extensive research that some of the medications most commonly used to treat the condition can be negatively impacted upon by high protein foods.
The absorption rate of the medications has been found to be much lower and slower when high protein foods are eaten. This means that a person may need to limit or cut out some particular food groups, so as not to prevent them from gaining the full benefits of their medication. What this particular natural tweak to a person’s lifestyle perhaps fails to address, is that it is done in conjunction with prescription medications.
The research into the benefit of a low protein diet for people with dyskinesia is only really based on people who already take medications. There is little known about whether or not a lower protein diet would be necessary if a person wasn’t talking the prescription medications.
