For PwP taking C/L it seems that a Keto diet equals a starvation diet. For C/L to be effective it most move through the stomach quickly. Thus, proteins digested in the stomach tend to trap C/L there, where it is digested as a protein and broken down into it's amino acid. All the levo- drugs are encapsulated in an oil droplet that acts like a cloak to get the digestive system by interpreting it as a colloid to quickly sweep it through to the intestines and into the blood stream without being broken apart. The protein exceptions are foods like milk, that the stomach doesn't need to digest.

I just make sure to take the Sinemet Half an hour before a meal or an hour afterwards. No problem at all! I have been on a carnivore diet for two years and keto diet for the year before that – it works for me…

You’re lucky. I have to wait several hours after a meal if my med is to work reliably. If the meal is heavy in protein, then I can’t rely on my next dose working well or at all.

Same, meat takes a while to digest, throws me off, also sugar and chocolate makes tremor worse for me.

Same here Buck.... I can eat 10 to 15 minutes after I take my dose and get the full benefit, but on the other end after protein-packed meal my next dose and even the one after will be useless. Sometimes after dinner we are talking 4 or 5 hours later.

I know some pwp who swear by keto. A friend, early into her diagnosis, tried it but lost too much weight. I am eating gluten-free and following Dr. Mischley's recommendations--lots of fresh fruit and veggies, fresh spices, fish, no canned foods, no soda or dietary artificial sweeteners, low dairy. The last isn't difficult as I'm glucose intolerant. I can eat cheese but have been told by Dr. Evans (an associate of Dr. Mischley) to cut out all dairy to raise my uric acid level.

When I was first diagnosed, I also cut out sugar and chocolate. I returned to eating both as a pandemic indulgence. I wonder if part of keto's success for you is elimination of prepared and processed foods and sweets.

I simply regard sugar and carbohydrates as toxic waste and avoid them like the plague, which seems to give me reasonable control with Parkinsons Although it is still progressing
