Default Keto diet and Parkinson's

Nancy, my husband died with Parkinson's in October 2018 aged 86. In April 2018 he had received a feeding tube in his stomach (PEG tube) due to loss of ability to swallow. The formula was very sweet. I never saw anyone decline so fast. Before receiving the feeding tube he had been eating a low sugar diet at home. Once on the formula, his Parkinson's symptoms rapidly worsened.

I am with you on the idea of trying a ketogenic diet for Parkinson's. Unfortunately, the doctors and dietician never allowed a low sugar diet for my husband.
