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.
