Default Help needed for obliged change in diet

Hi All
I started Atkins here with your great help, back in 2005.
I got back into shape really quickly and I really preferred this type of diet.
I felt so much better without the carbs that I continued until now with no hi-carb foods (no pasta rice bread biscuits crackers etc.etc.
I now have a serious problem though.
I have unluckily been diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinsons .. and it just exploded all of a sudden in mid January. Things are pretty hard to deal with .. it is different from normal PD - which has slow degeneration symtoms - mine are really obvious and I have severe tremors.
To deal with the tremors I have to take 2 meds and 3 homeopathic treatments.
The problem is - I take my meds morning and lunch-time - and I have been strongly ADVISED NOT to eat proteins before evening time because proteins drastically reduce the effect of the medicines. (Selegilene and Biperedine)

So I turn to you - my faithful diet fairies - asking for any proposals of carb foods that I could introduce at lunch - without totally ruining all the results I have achieved through you.
I am having enough difficulty coping with this disease psychologically, if I also put on weight - that would really depress me - and I cannot risk that.

Any suggestions would be MOST welcome

Thanks in advance

Jenny
