Re: Fwd: Cisapride (Propulsid)


Barb Yacos--thanks for the additional info re: cisapride. Hadn't heard
that.
The post I just read about the "brain in the gut" is intriguing, and I wonder
if it refers to the fact that there are Lewy bodies  in the intestine,
apparently, klie those in the brain? I read that this relates to the guts'
absorption of dopamine somehow?--in the end is related to protein in the
diet competing with the Sinemet to connect with dopamine receptors---is
this approximately correct??Or---??? Seems it might make sense.
