Because of your risk of Parkinsons post stroke your doctor is required to create protocols to optimize the gut microbiome and prevent that from happening.

Parkinson's May Start in the Gut and Spread to the Brain, New Study Suggests
What role might the gut microbiome play in Parkinson's disease? A new study published in Nature Communications adds to the growing body of research linking gut microbiome health to neurodegeneration. The stool samples of 490 people with Parkinson's disease and 234 "control" healthy individuals were examined to compare microbial DNA, which was then sequenced to see which microbial features were present or elevated in the Parkinson's fecal samples vs the control samples.
One of the results of this study showed the Parkinson's fecal samples were lower in anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids and, interestingly, elevated in what is usually considered "good" probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. So what does this mean? The researchers have generated significant new data about the gut microbiome of people with Parkinson's, which could open the door to further studies, research, and treatments for a condition that currently has no cure.
"PD-associated species form polymicrobial clusters that grow or shrink together, and some compete. PD microbiome is disease permissive, evidenced by overabundance of pathogens and immunogenic components, dysregulated neuroactive signaling, preponderance of molecules that induce alpha-synuclein pathology, and over-production of toxicants; with the reduction in anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective factors limiting the capacity to recover," reads the study abstract, making the important point that this new data is confirming in humans what was previously known only through animal (mice) studies. What else do we know about Parkinson's and gut health? Here is what the experts have to say.
