So should we avoid eating bitter vegetables?

Haha consult DR. Any Dr here?

To reduce the uric acid levels in blood, you may need to limit intake of alcohol, sugary foods and reduce purine rich foods like meat, poultry, seafood and pulses. Vegetables such as cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, peas and mushroom also contain a lot of purines.

Alamak, have my Alkaline drink just now but eat peas pula. Didnt realize peas also in the group.

usually i m take those foods occasionally (moderately high in purines, but may not raise risk of gout):
example:
Fish and seafood (other than high purine seafood)

Hi, do we have any support group?

Don't think so

ur qouted the above, i dont understand

Zyloric 500

We, gout sufferer can form a support group for motivation purpose and exchange of info. This is my idea.

i see

Cutting purines forever is harmless but probably not worth the trouble.
Most patients cannot maintain dietary restrictions indefinitely.

Many sources and medical references will explain that gout attacks most often go away by themselves after about 7 days and do not recur for 1-3 years. Medication (20sen colchicine tab from pharmacy) should be taken immediately to relieve the symptoms then after that nothing else makes any difference. Expensive long term daily medication is unnecessary.

Imagine someone starts medicine, then also any of the other folklore treatments such as vinegar, baking soda, fish oil, olive oil, colon cleansing, etc. Anything, including plain water, will seem miraculous for 1-3 years until the possibility of another attack, which will be best treated with another colchicine tablet.

The above has also been my personal experience with gout. Some of you may have an extreme form of gout with other complications but we can suppose that the medical references are referring to the majority.

i ve stopped my medication almost 5 years already and so far so good.
Of course maintain on the dietary on some foods.

What kind of medication you have stopped?

if i not mistaken was allopurinol (Zyloprim)
