Uhm, low PURINE.

Protien rich foods should be reduced, but not wholly avoided. Not all
protien foods are high in purines, much as not all sugars metabolize
at the same rate.

I'm not a doctor, but what you might consider doing is increasing your
intake of foods which help the body eliminate uric acid, such as leafy
greens. ALso red cabbage, tomatoes, and green beans.

I'd seek the advice of a nutritionist (if your doctor refers you,
perhaps your medical insurance will cover it).

My wife has suffered gout a few times in the past 10 years. From what
I've seen, it's clearly no fun.

'
' Purines. That is it.

Thank you for advice. It is not fun. You're wife has surely endured
something. Three years ago I had my first can't walk attack.

I made it much worse by not using the meds correctly.

Lets just say. I raised my pain threshold upper limit 10, to mean.
Sticking your foot in hot lava.

And arthritis is nothing now.

I haven't had cabbage in a while. maybe its time for a pot.

it wont be the same without a corned beef in it...
