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

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  • Omnivore : every 4 months
  • Omnivore + Allopurinol: every 12 months
  • Carnivore: every 24 months

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 :)
