[QUOTE="Angelmum21, post: 905434, member: 120232"] He just agreed to test the urate levels in my blood and said to take painkillers and sent me off for a blood test. The NHS online gout stuff gives you a clue to what causes it if you are on the diet because a lot of oily fish is high in purines and I definitely eat a lot of fish. So I have reduced that for a while and the gout has subsided which is the nature of the beast because ultimately it is an acute arthritic flare up caused by crystals in the joint which should wear off in 3-10 days so not sure if your friend's husband had gout itself or another form of arthritic flare up? By the way on the plus side of doing this diet, I now have a cloak of invisibility as far as biting insects are concerned. Before I was like a babe magnet for any buzzing things that like to suck blood and would spend hours of sleepless hunting for perpetrators in my bedroom! Now I hear them and turn over safe in the knowledge that they cannot find me! Curious but for me life changing difference as I already carry a scar on my leg from an encounter with some particularly vicious black midges in Australia. [/QUOTE]
