Yes. As part of a keto diet, I eliminated gluten. I added it back during the pandemic because i wanted to be a good citizen around the house and not be such a picky eater. But the gas/bloating and brain fog that ensued was pretty bad.

I tried the keto thing on my own, as a way to reduce generalized inflammation. But the benefits of dietary ketosis have been huge. Three examples: My anxiety is WAY down, basically eliminated. My mental acuity is improved. And my workouts at the gym do not leave me sore for two days.

I think there is something behind the Braak hypothesis, that somehow PD starts in the gut. The keto thing is hard to maintain, but has been completely worth the effort. I can always tell when I’ve had too much gluten or sugar by my anxiety levels a 1/2 hour after consuming.
