I've been pretty happy with my managing .

But this is a big fail. Its very bad.

I set it off by eating a couple of deer steaks and making Rabbit
stew. A couple of times in January .

I'm pretty much done with game animals. Which I love so much. Because
of all the crap in our store bought meat.

I've not given much thought to vegetable protein.

But I do make Miso soup which has tofu in it. But Its been a while.

It just seems rather extreme to say that I cant eat certain vegetables
due to protein content.

Any comments.

I find this strange as I would expect the method of reducing protein
intake to be to limit meat, fish, dairy and eggs. If you are going to
follow the doctor's advice stay away from beans, peas and pulses such as
lentils, soy etc and also from products derived from them such as tofu,
tempeh. You will need to monitor your consumption of protein in all
forms carefully as there are deficiency diseases resulting from lack of
essentail amino acids that the body cannot synthesize. But I assume your
doctor has already told you this.

I was just checking. Sources for vitamin d, fish, meat, etc. I would
suggest taking at least 1000 units a day and vitamin c, at least 500 units
per day. D and c are recommended for gout. I was getting major hip problems
3 years ago. I attribute my recovery mostly to vitamin d. Also improved
other areas of my body. Activity in the sun will reduce supplemental d
requirements.
