If you’ve had bad gout in the past, watch out for atrial fibrillation.

If you have gout now, please find ways to reduce it as much as possible.

Allopurinol reduces my uric acid level to normal range.

[Grampa Dave]

My uric acid level: 7.3 mg/dL
Normal range: 2.0 - 8.5 mg/dL

I have never had gout until a few weeks past the current Covid my wife and I got at a Thanksgiving dinner.

My left foot swelled up and was red on top and bottom.

I even bought a cane to steady my walking.

An ER/Radiology doc, who is a neighbor saw me limping and using the cane.

He knew that we/I had the latest Covid, he rolled down the window and said that I probably had gout due to post Covid. He recommended some analgesic cream twice a day.

After 5 days, the redness went away and the pain and unsteadiness.

Your agenda item:

found in high amounts in alcohol, especially beer, and foods such as red meat, ...

Insane that red meat was listed first. It does contain purines, but at a relatively low concentration to the other items in this list.

In fact, RED MEAT HAS LESS PURINES THAN COMMON VEGETARIAN ALTERNATIVES!!!!

Purines resulting from 100g of protein sources:

Baker’s yeast 680 mg
Mushrooms.....488 mg
Tuna..........290 mg
Soy beans.....190 mg
Turkey........150 mg
Sunflower.....145 mg
Lentils.......127 mg
Chicken.......115-175 mg
Pork..........100-166 mg
Beef fillet...110 mg
Venison back..105 mg
Sausage.......73-91 mg
Corned beef...57 mg

Nuts, cheeses, eggs, milk and yogurt are low in purines.

Do high uric acid levels always equate to gout?

[chalkfarmer]

As a younger man my husband had afib. As an older man he has had a few cases of gout. He’s been taking allopurinol for several years. He rarely has any gout issues. It’s a very old drug, and it is cheap.
