Hi @Helen71 welcome to the community, the NHS says:
Diet advice
For some people with Parkinson's disease, making dietary changes can help improve some symptoms.
These changes can include:
- increasing the amount of fibre in your diet and making sure you're drinking enough fluid to reduce constipation
- increasing the amount of salt in your diet and eating small, frequent meals to avoid problems with low blood pressure, such as dizziness when you stand up quickly
- making changes to your diet to avoid unintentional weight loss
You may see a dietitian, a healthcare professional trained to give diet advice, if your care team thinks you may benefit from changing your diet.

If you are concerned I would speak to your GP and see if you can get a referral to a dietician.
