Question: needing to lose just under
100lbs I joined watch watchers middle of
aug and have had a slow steady lost of
approximant 1 lb a week. But I also
have had trouble with my gout since end of
aug. I gave up and went to my dr in
oct as the meds were not helping.
And I was missing work and very
uncomfortable, she ran all kinds of test
and every thing was fine except for the
uric acid and it was up as we expected.
Now it is a process of finding out what
it is I have added to my diet that is
causing this. I have already removed
frozen meals I was eating at lunch such as
healthy choice and smart ones., and
pineapple these choices were because both
were something I had added and was eating
on a daily basic. I have a course
added vegetables and more fruit and wheat
and some white meat .After reading your
post I am dropping cauliflower, tomatoes
and peas and cut back on pork and chicken.
But I was told wheat is also bad for
some people with gout. Can you shine
any light on this?
===================================.
Losing less than a pound a week should not
trigger gout. I think you triggered
your gout by eating too much acidic fruits
such as pineapple, etc. You need to
avoid acidic foods and alkalize yourself.
Appreciate knowing if alkaline diet
helps you. Take care.
