Maybe you don’t know as much as you think you do.

You don’t have gout just in your big toe. You might exhibit symtoms there first, as I did, but gout is in the bloodstream. The reason it often manifests in the big toe first is because gravity tends to force the crystals to settle there.

So here we have a 230 pound female who lost weight on a meat heavy diet. Since I’ve never argued that was not possible, I haven’t learned anything that I didn’t already know. By losing weight, she appears to have reduced her symptoms of gout, if she in fact was actually diagnosed via a blood test to confirm high uric acid levels. Since she does not mention taking allopurinol. I’m guessing she wasn’t.
