Hi KEITH,
As I told you previously I was on 600mg of allopurinol, my doctor told me I should’nt be taken so much and to reduce it to 300 about 4 weeks ago even though I have not had a attack since January, there has been some days where my feet are sore,I have noticed that the bone in my foot is fine when I get up in the morning but by evening is swollen but not red so i worry its ready to flare up at anytime, I have changed my diet I eat chicken at least 3 time a week I eat cabbage and drink the water I have beef maybe once every 2 weeks, I had my blood checked 2 weeks ago it had went from 180 to 248, I was wondering if I should increase my dose of allo again to try to ensure I dont get a other attack, 1 more thing I have cut out drinking beer which i miss but i drink wine instead this doesnt seem to spark anything off or could it.
Hi for the last 10 days I have been trying to eat a mainly veggie diet I had a slip up 2 days ago when i had chicken curry which had a processed sauce, I had a flare up today which I thought was the result of eating that this was my normal diet until I started read information about diet 10 days ago I had beef mince tonight,because that what was made for me and did worry about it, After reading your post i now know that is not so important
MY gout treatment is 400mg of allopurinol per day so that’s the starting point my last uric acid test was low.
Hi KEITH,
I am 5FT 10 inches tall I weigh around 182 lbs, one other thing i forgot to mention was,I have allergies that i take antihistamines
for nothing to serious grass, dust cig smoke and a few others, I;M still confused what to eat and not to eat web sites are so conflicting, My normal diet consists of beef and pork 2 or 3 times a week one of those times sausages white fish such haddock or cod
I also drink alcohol glass of white wine Monday to Friday is red any better? I used to drink lager but havent any for maybe 8 weeks.
During my last attack which lasted 3 weeks ones i had recovered I went out for a meal and had a chicken dish with a rich sauce and 2 beers next day I had a really bad attack I dont think my uric acid level was high at the time so confused, in fact I had a blood test done that day I was 272 u.m.o.l
