Is anyone following a Keto diet for their Parkinsons? If so, what is your daily carbs intake? Any modifications if weight loss not the goal but just want to control Parkinsons symptoms and general inflammatory process?
Even though there is limited clinical trial information available, I do believe there is something to limiting sugar and carbs.
Interested in info on Leto diet
Here is a link on the Michael J. Fox site about the study. If you Google keto diet for a neurological disorders you’ll see lots of information.
Yes, have been adapting to low carb/Keto diet and aiming foe no more than 50 carbs a day. Avoiding bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc and of course sugary items. (Still have a beer though!). I have lost weight, which was not intended and keeping an eye on that. Do however feel very well and have good energy.
Also adapting to intermittent fasting most days. So I don't eat between say 8pm and 2pm the next day. Not too difficult as long as I have a coffee/tea.
Low carb diet reduces inflammation and fasting promotes Autophagy. Who knows whether it will help but seems worth a try.
I'm wondering if I can do Keto diet and take Mannitol? Mannitol is a type of sugar alcohol. Keto diet restricts sugar.
Sugar alcohols are allowed sugar substitutes. Mannitol is sugar alcohol not sugar which is allowed on keto. Just be careful on amount as can cause GI problems.
Thank you have a happy Fourth of July.
@buckholt, how has it been all these years?

Doing OK thanks. Still doing low carb/keto and mannitol. I would say my progression has been very slow and medication pretty much unchanged. (I do not aim to be active/on all the time and accept down time, which can be frustrating at times as I still have good energy.)
Does anyone see a functional medicine doctor for their Parkinsons/general health?
Is it natural for Parkinson sufferers to thrash out in their sleep and fall out of bed (even a King size) as my hubby does?
My experience with a keto diet
ALERT! Urge Congress to support national plan to END Parkinson! (I just got this from the Michael J. Fox Foundation)'Reverse Parkinson' by breathing-in Farnesol with a humidifier?
