Hiya
Sorry it took so long to reply.
I don’t think exogenous ketones would help you much, no. Getting your keto nice and clean and strict will help you the most. If you feel like there might still be foods negatively impacting you it would be well worth doing an elimination diet - usually the easiest thing to do is basically go carnivore for a month and then test any suspects you may have. There are some common culprits which can hold up people with lipedema. Lymphedema I am less clued up on but would think it would also benefit with that. The healthier you can make your lymphatic system the better. Maybe invest in Leslyn Keith’s book as she is the lymphedema specialist?
