about that gout

A comment on the gout earlier this week: In the past I purchased an unbelievably sugary blueberry drink (Bare Naked’s Blue Machine) and it would eliminate the symptoms after about a day. That is, in the three times in the past I recall having gout, that stuff eliminated it by the following evening.

This time, not wanting the extra sugar, and still wanting to not intorduce new food ingredients faster than one a week, I ate about a quarter cup to a cup of blueberries three or four times a day for two days and by the morning of day three, I was entirely gout free. (Blueberries were last week’s food, I don’t seem to have had any skin reactions from it, but maybe I should switch to one new food every two weeks…)

I’m not sure if I would have been further ahead with the juice to end it a day sooner or if I’m better off not having consumed the extra sugar and other ingredients.

woke up with gout

Update from the future

So, as for the cause of gout: breaking down purines produces uric acid as a by product and this can build up around the joints in the form of crystals. The purines in the sardines were the culprit. If I consume sardines, I get gout. I can eat bacon without an issue, but the purines in sardines are just too high. I’ll try eating them again after a multi-week stint of pure carno.
