I have gout but I'm a vegetarian. I don't get it. Why do I have gout? I was told that my uric acid levels were really low. Is there any help for a person who doesn't eat meat? I'm 25 years old.
Gout plagued me for almost 20 years. I would find myself hobbling around on a gouty foot in bad situations on trips or in the airport. Colchicine would get rid of it in a matter of hours, but it always replaced it with terrible diarrheah (sp?). Allopurinol though was miraculous. Since I started taking it two years ago, I haven't had gout at all. It is amazing and harmless
I had tried changing my diet, but still got it sometimes. But once I started on Allopurinol, I never got it again and I ate/drank whatever I wanted to. Ask the same Dr that diagnosed you to prescribe it to you. It has no side effects but it will keep your uric acid levels low.
Never went to med school, but I suffer from gout and every doctor I've ever consulted has told me this. As well as the doctor in this video...he claims that purines are proteins as well. Just backing up the doc on what I've learned through reading and experience.
Don't apologise for setting the record straight icspirits. It would be nice if shaneury apologised for misinforming people on such an important subject.
This is a fantastically detailed consultation, communicated in very easy to understand terms, AND ITS FREE.

gout is the result of the bodies metabolism of Purines, not protiens
