after a very high protein diet for over 25 years due to bodybuilding and powerlifting i developed gout about 5 years ago at age 45 approx.
alhamdulillah i dont take allopurinol,but take a colchicine when the pain starts,only need one or two,last needed over a year ago
i eat meat only once a week now,if that and more water and salads and vegetables,which my indian wife loves making..bhaji,karela,bhinda etc
coffee helps a bit ,and bicarbonate of soda dissolved in water ,with a meat meal..
theres always a natural cure and preventative
