For me, this is a new "Gout" food I shouldn't be eating anyway!

Any high-protein food such as cheese can cause gout.
It is the organic nitrogen -- present in all amino
acids -- which causes gout. Pound-for-pound.
purine-rich foods generate more nitrogenous waste
because purines also have organic nitrogen, but
it is certainly possible to have a gout attack
triggered solely by diet, even if that diet is
purine-free. Cheese and eggs are major hazards
to avoid with regard to gout.

No, it's that I just try to manage it through diet.
As long as I limit my intake of meat, cheese, and eggs,
I'm usually just fine. I also have to drink lots of
water, especially if I'm not drinking any beer.


No, I use diet to manage my gout. I've only had
one serious attack in the last 10 years, and that
could have been prevented by paying more attention.
I'd rather watch my diet than take allopurinol for
the rest of my life, even if it means I can't indulge
in meat as often as I'd like.

would be 1 or 2. More than that would create
the risk a desperate patient might overdose.

Even at the current price, the cost of 1 or 2
is swamped by the co-pay.

this is my gripe, why is the US paying for the entire world's r/d. if
everyone would do what universal health care states did in just the meds
area everyone would be better off, Lee

I'm more lenient because Big Pharma needs to fund R&D going forward.
My problem is that the cost of R&D is bundled into the US price of
pills, because governments (providing universal health care) around
the world are able to beat the price down closer to the cost of
production. We are truly Uncle Sugar when it comes to funding pill R&D.

You should also not be walking on it. Not this soon. I really had to
learn to respect gout and how accept much rest is required.

Allopurinol is far safer than colchicine. Colchicine
has a very low therapeutic index (ratio between a safe

I meant "effective dose", not "safe dose".

which in turn jacks up ins costs for everyone else because some pharma co
wants big bucks, Lee

Landen,

You asked for it! You got it!

I do easily understand the desire to test the waters.

Best,
