@jamesandmark: Purines in foods and drinks break down into uric acid. Too much uric acid can form crystals in your joints and trigger gout. Although my uric acid was at 10 mg/dL at its highest, I've managed to get it down to 3.7 mg/dL (the normal range is 3.5-7.2 mg/dL). Even when blood uric acid is low, old urate crystals can still remain in the joints. As those deposits gradually dissolve or shift, they can still trigger inflammation and a gout flare. This was a celebratory meal that I'll think twice about having in the future. I am on day 3 of my flare in my right knee, day 1 was the worst of it (although not as bad as in the past) and day 2 and 3 just dealing with swelling and not having full range of motion. If you have any questions on gout, drop it below! #gout #healthyjourney #thisis40
