ChrisL Posted May 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2021 Yeah once I started taking allopurinol I never stopped. I don’t ever want another gout flair again. Hang in there man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted May 22, 2021 Share #7 Posted May 22, 2021 As I've said before, when I had my heart attack, I went to see the doctor the next day. When I had my first gout attack, I got up in the middle of the night and went to the ER. A gout attack hurt more than some of my broken bones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other healthy foods can trigger gout such as peas, asparagus, and some other legumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My triggers are artificial sweeteners and highly process meats. I recently have been snacking on berries and sugar free whipped cream and paid the price. Just snacking on the berries now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
