Keto is high fat so maybe try the Mediterranean diet. I cut out gluten and sugar it has helped.

Yes that’s what I figured. Apple Cider Vinegar only goes so far. I have seen a Kinesiologist who has said to cut out gluten and processed sugar, mushrooms/fungi and broccoli. I have also upped my zinc, B vits and gut related support.
