Gout Posted: 01-21-04 07:59am
I have a condition called pre gout, &
my dr told me to stop eating any acidic
foods, drinks, sauces like tomato,
pineapples, lemons, oranges & their
juices, vinegar, many sauces can have
these ingredients without your
knowledge.
So I would suggest that your husband try
to alter his diet & not eat any acidic
foods, if he is at all overweight; heavy
carbohydrates should be strictly limited -
so reduce potatoes, breads, cakes,
biscuits etc this should help lower his
cholesterol as well.
The dr my daughter sees is a psychiatrist
who looks after you like a whole person,
so I suspect that he would want you &
your husband to have 750ml of perrier
water (or similar) to replace the salt
& potassium you lose in the heat.
