nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c I am almost certain that if you tried this elimination diet for 1-3 months, your gout would end up "in remission" and all your symptoms will go away, I believe the reason you had symptoms flare up is 1 of two things, either you reacted badly to the bacon because your gut is very sensitive because of highly processed foods you were eating in your "regular" diet before making the shift last week, meaning you need a break which the elimination diet will give you, allowing your gut to heal. or it might be the oil you cooked the meal with. either way, you are ofc under no obligation to try this but speaking from personal experience this diet fixed MANY issues I had for 7+ years running including inflammation in all my joints, constant heartburn, constant headaches etc etc. please know I am genuinely trying to help and am not trying to come off as negative whatsoever. heres the link :)

I appreciate your offering of your experience and this link.
But I've now read all about gout. I understand that the monosodium urate crystals built up over months to years, and it will take months to years (probably just a few months in my case) of keeping my blood urate low for them to all melt away. I downloaded and organized many lists of foods with their purine content and sorted it by purines per 100g. Besides purines, I'm aware alcohol and aspirin interfere with urate elimation so I'm avoiding those. Plus my doctor put me on allopurinol. I'm confident that I will cure my gout completely within a year, probably much sooner. And then I'll be able to have occasional meat again.
While a typical American diet eater would benefit from the lion diet, it wouldn't work for me because my kidney function isn't good enough. It would make my gout worse. I have to avoid high purine foods.
But I appreciate the intent.
