Current Events > Early gout signs, can't eat red meat

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well there's fish

What are early gout signs? I have a terrible feeling I'm gonna be sickly af eventually...

• sudden severe pain in a joint usually your big toe, but it can be in other joints in your feet, hands, wrists, elbows or knees
• hot, swollen, red skin over the affected joint

There's growing evidence that if you just take a low-carb approach, you can just eat all the meat you want. Carbs and sugars (which are carbs) are showing to take a large part of gout formation.

Carbs and heavy meat consumption? Gonna have to lop off your foot though

Turkey meat tacos.

Gout is caused by excess purine degradation - basically, breakdown of proteins and peptides. I don't really see a situation in which carbohydrates (which have a completely separate metabolic pathway) would worsen gout.

Allopurinol inhibits Xanthine Oxidase, which decreases uric acid production (your body can still excrete excess xanthine).

i much rather switch to chicken or refried bean soft taco :(.

Gout's a form of arthritis and sugars n the ilk are a large contributor to inflammation in most western diets. It doesn't get rid of the uric acid as much as it helps your body be more able to tolerate and handle it

Tofu, beans, nuts, seitan, lentils, oats, broccoli, etc.

Stop assuming you have to eat meat to get your protein.

The problem isn't meat protein versus veggie protein. The problem is protein itself.

Arthritis is a symptom of gout, but it's not what gout is. Gout is the deposition of uric acid crystals, most commonly in joints. Altering how many carbohydrates you eat isn't going to change the fact that you have literal crystals being deposited in your joints.

every other animal eats the same shit every day all day for its entire life but humans act like they gonna die if they dont eat a different animal every day of the week

Are you sure it's gout?

There is that disease that ticks carry... that makes you allergic to red meat (Alpha-gal syndrome).

meat is bad for you yo

My mom gets gout too, which apparently women getting gout is rather rare. Woo genetics!

This is why I hate working in medicine. You can understand the pathophysiology behind a disease and have a simple, effective, and generally side effect free solution (Allopurinol) but there's always going to be that one guy who has magic shakes he can sell you instead that are "all natural" because apparently gout isn't natural or something.

Theyre not acting like theyre going to die. They just wants to break up the monotony. Which makes sense. When I had the same thing everyday for weeks, I started eating less and less until I barely ate any. And the smell almost made me throw up Its normal to not want to eat the same thing everyday

i've eaten the same thing every day for going on 4 years (grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and lettuce, with only the dressing changing infrequently between yogurt based and vinaigrette). the only reason its "normal" to not want to eat the same thing every day is because habits developed via food marketing have conditioned you that way

It will bring more uric acid into the body, yes. But altering carbs (and I guess technically I should rephrase this to low glycemic index foods -but I associate them as the same for the most part) will change crystals being formed in the joints.

The reason why uric acid turns to crystals in the foot/big toe more often than other parts is because of temperature. The temperature being cooler in the foot, due to poorer circulation/inflammation, will cause the acid to crystalize. Eating foods low on the glycemic index -and only only foods low on it, will improve their vascular condition which will help remedy gout. This is because of the insulin/insulin resistance/blood glucose levels relationship

The reason why you shouldn't put heat on the foot to help with this is because it'll cause more inflammation and you shouldn't cool the area because it'll crystalize even more.

That's the working theory anyway

There's always a stable of villains that alternative medicine quacks can blame. Carbohydrates, processed foods, msg, etc. None of these diseases are new; even Egyptian pharaohs suffered from gout in 2500 BC. Gout is a problem of protein metabolism. That's it.

You can twist over backwards and say that as long as you eat almond pancakes while doing a handstand during yoga, you won't have gout, but it's all a bunch of bullshit.

As far as dietary changes, reducing the amount of pickled and fermented foods can reduce the incidence of gout, but not by a huge amount. At the end of the day, reducing the production of uric acid through protein metabolism is the solution.

The problem isn't meat protein versus veggie protein. The problem is protein itself.

And thats good for you. But everyone isnt you. Like I said, when I ate the same thing everyday, it got to the point where the smell nearly made me throw up Even to this day, the smell still gets me sometimes And its apparently, its not even that healthy to eat the same thing everyday in certain cases It has its pros and cons Even animals dont like the same food everyday Maybe youre just conditioned to eat the same food everyday
