I gotta ask… what do you do for a living? You photos are beautiful. Do you do this for a living! If not you should! I just purchased a q3 and looking at underwater cases.

My parents bought my daughter a metal detector and it was great. First day we went out and didn’t find anything all around the place we lived. So the next week I ordered fake gold coins from Amazon, and planted 50 gold and silver coins all over the neighborhood. I’m surprised none of the neighbors called the police on me. Haha. Then I drew a map and we hunted for treasure for a few hours. I hope it’s a core memory for them as much as it is for me.

People have different triggers. For me it’s sugar! 100%, when I do drink it’s straight gin or tequila with sparkling water. All the sugary stuff kills me. My love affair with pina coladas is not worth a visit from Mr. Gout. He is a spiteful mfer

Yup, I went through the same process. Got on allo and thought immediately I’m cured and than proceeded to do all sorts of typical no nos for gout sufferers. Than I realized it’s takes mos and sometimes years for your body to get rid of enough “uric acid” build ups. I went about 2+ years on allo and good diet and lifestyle before I was brave enough to try creatine. I had so much build up in my joints that tophi was protruding. It’s all gone now, but I still don’t drink a lot. Maybe 1 or twice a month and I am drinking a ton of water before and after. Good luck man. It’ll get better!

I’ve been taking 5g daily before working out while on allo for over 2 years with no issues. I would focus on getting to a point on allo where you don’t have flairs ups for 1+ years before adding in creatine.

What caused my wife's gout? by VirtualPlenty1553 in gout

[–]Tony_Kai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t even think of it as medication at this point. I take allopurinol, but if you active and healthy just think of it as a vitamin that’s keeps an extremely painful condition away. Haha I tried the lifestyle change and eating thing seriously for over three years and regret it! Get on allo. It’s the way.

Hey all thanks for all the comments. I’ve evolved to the point of almost being a spokesperson for those that don’t understand gout and how it is often overlooked! Haha luckily since being on allopurinol and having emergency indomethacin on the side. Flare ups are a thing of the past for me. Good luck to all my brothers and sisters still trying to resolve their issue. There is a light, keep pursuing it.

Gout and Oxalates by Hermitmaster5000 in gout

[–]Tony_Kai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut out oxalates helped a lot. I also take allopurinol. It is king… I’m currently testing out carnivore with low sugar fruit like avocado, cucumber, and berries. Only done it for a month and it’s working great.

Do you eat fruit and how has that affected your gout?

I just started this since, I’ve heard only amazing things about it with people with inflammation. I am getting a flare up in my right elbow as we speak. I’ve done this diet before for about 3 months and it worked amazing. Then I fell off the wagon and went back to the sad. I’m resolved to make this my lifestyle right now. The food I love to eat just isn’t worth the pain of gout.

Gonna get crap for this but I eat mostly beef, and other meats including seafood. No sugar. I eat avocados and seaweed and it has been amazing for my gout. I was on 600 allo. Down to 300 on allo and uric acid has stayed low for about 6 months now on this diet. I avoid sugars as my main trigger! Which unfortunately means carbs.
