For me, this is a new "Gout" food I shouldn't be eating anyway!

Steve Pope wrote:

Any high-protein food such as cheese can cause gout.
It is the organic nitrogen -- present in all amino
acids -- which causes gout. Pound-for-pound.
purine-rich foods generate more nitrogenous waste
because purines also have organic nitrogen, but
it is certainly possible to have a gout attack
triggered solely by diet, even if that diet is
purine-free. Cheese and eggs are major hazards
to avoid with regard to gout.

No, it's that I just try to manage it through diet.
As long as I limit my intake of meat, cheese, and eggs,
I'm usually just fine. I also have to drink lots of
water, especially if I'm not drinking any beer.


No, I use diet to manage my gout. I've only had
one serious attack in the last 10 years, and that
could have been prevented by paying more attention.
I'd rather watch my diet than take allopurinol for
the rest of my life, even if it means I can't indulge
in meat as often as I'd like.

Nobody under competent medical supervision
would ever use 100. A sensible prescription
would be 1 or 2. More than that would create
the risk a desperate patient might overdose.

Even at the current price, the cost of 1 or 2
is swamped by the co-pay.
 
this is my gripe, why is the US paying for the entire world's r/d. if
everyone would do what universal health care states did in just the meds
area everyone would be better off, Lee

I'm more lenient because Big Pharma needs to fund R&D going forward.
My problem is that the cost of R&D is bundled into the US price of
pills, because governments (providing universal health care) around
the world are able to beat the price down closer to the cost of
production. We are truly Uncle Sugar when it comes to funding pill R&D.

You should also not be walking on it. Not this soon. I really had to
learn to respect gout and how accept much rest is required.

Allopurinol is far safer than colchicine. Colchicine
has a very low therapeutic index (ratio between a safe
dose and a dangerous dose).

Get yourself a big bottle of 100% pure cherry juice. Not juice from
concentrate. Just pure cherry juice. Drink several glasse sa day. Your
gout should improve quickly. I used it to cure my toe goiut some years ago
and it was a miracle cure.

I'm pretty sure that a log in is not required. (I think)

and changing health plans, I got competent care.

I hope you are on allipurinol and have no more problems. I've not had
an attack for almost 15 yrs and eat/drink EVERYTHINGthat a recurrence of
gout while recovering
from an attack is often worse than the original
attack. I'd say you

Thanks Mark, but I was referring to the suggestions that I should take
something for the pain, not the Allopurinol.

I have liver problems that the Allopurinol may aggravate. So many
drugs cause problems with the liver. I never take anything without
first making sure that the Doc approves it as not being conflicting.
This guy is like a walking encyclopedia of medicine. So far, he's
never been wrong with my treatment.

And he's actually a very nice person too. So is his entire staff. I
got lucky when I found him.

Hubby has Endomycin that he uses when he gets a gout attack, but it
makes him lethargic and puts him to sleep. That's why I was
interested in the colchicine.
Agreed. From previous posts, it sounds like the lobbyists made a
sweetheart deal for a couple of years.

Everyone has their personal triggers for gout attacks. For hubby,
it's shellfish.

It modifies how organic nitrogen is metabolized.

I know. You'd starve to death if you avoided all purines.
