If you try to use soy products for protein in place of red meat gout flares can increase. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt. The foods that cause me the most problems are chicken livers (absolutely love them, but only a couple will cause a week or more of agony) and soy. A few years ago in an attempt to lower cholesterol I substituted soy for all red meats. I had the absolute worst flare ever. Usually I only get it in one big toe or the other. That time it was in both toes and both ankles. I couldn't walk for nearly 2 weeks. Steve |
