I have a history of gout. Urate at 0.47 mmol/L just after I stopped taking allopurinol after a few months on carnivore, 0.45 a couple of weeks ago (the reference range is 0.2 to 0.42mmol/L)
Over the 2⅓ years I have been on carnivore I have had two attacks
At the end of a holiday on a Pacific island after a day with poor access to meat (the resort had run out after hosting a wedding) I ate a sweetened yoghurt on the plane. Fructose.
Just recently I got pretty dehydrated while unwell with a cold and had an attack
In comparison before going on allopurinol I had about three attacks a year. On allopurinol I had one attack a year. On carnivore I had one attack without the help of sugar in over 2 years
Wow, a single yogurt was enough to trigger a flare up!
Quite the difference.
I wonder if the gout frequency would continue to decrease the longer you are on carnivore? If the oxalate crystals in your joints would reduce over time. I haven't seen anything in the literature about it.
Next time you post a new bit of gout content, I might give an update :)
