I know it isn't but in can cause infection to come easier obviously. At least what my doctor said. I got some pills today to keep my something acid on the right level. I take so many pills already....

Maybe uric acid? My brother in law had a bad case of gout in the 70s.
That might be it. I have only been in pain that time and it lasted perhaps 4 days and then it was ok and havent felt anything since so i'm hoping it was onetimer.

I think it has something to do with crystals - I dunno - I am no medical expert. I just know that it is supposed to be quite painful.
Doesn't eating rich foods have something to do with it? Henry the VIII had gout.

So this is why it is called "the King's disease" - sounds like a disease that fits in here (on this board).
I know when he got it they were trying the "Atkins's diet" - very low carb and high protein - it had only been out a few years at that time.
Peter Noone had gout? Whatdya know.
Yeah, it can contribute. I remember getting a paper that basically said, "Limit beef, beer, and bacon (Nitrates in bacon & other processed foods are supposed to be limited)"--my husband said, "Why live?" joking, of course, but it was hard at first. Spinach was another biggie to watch--can't remember why. Getting the garbage food out of my diet worked wonders for me.
Spinach? That seems an odd one. Yes, my granddad got gout once and I guess it was horrifically painful. Of course, he was a typical man who thought everything that happened to him was horrifically painful, so not sure in the scheme of things how much of a ouch it is.

Stay away from scallops, herring, beer, red meat, turkey, sugary drinks, asparagus, liver, according to a health web site I was just reading.
Then i'm toast!!! I love beef! I love beer and i like bacon, and onion rings and sauces. I can't change who i am!!! But i probably eat more pork than beef. Is it a difference goutwise?
Stay away from red meat, sugary drinks, beer....? I'm with skimoms hubby here. Why live?
I can't remember! It could have been meat in general, but I remember beef particularly.

Just look up which foods have 'purine' in them. And it is only when you are undergoing an "attack" that these foods make it worse, apparently. I think you should be able to have these foods, only in moderation.
Horrible. Seriously. And I'm a Trojan when it comes to pain (lol).
At least little positive... But you know... me and eating things in moderation have never really gone well together. I suck at resisting temptations and beer and beef are two of them.
