@tdemaria It could be be the sugar, but It can also be a food allergy to anything in the cookie. I've have been through this too. After giving up wheat and gluten, I still had other food allergies I had to figure out. I remember my hand feeling like it was hit with a hammer, and then I gave up dairy, and the pain stopped. You have to do an elimination diet to figure that out, but when you get all the foods out of your diet that cause inflammation, you'll feel much better, and it is so worth it. Apparently there are a lot of foods that are triggers for gout. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/gout-diet/art-20048524 Eating foods that reduce inflammation will go a long way toward good health as almost every disease starts with inflammation. Clogged arteries starts first with inflammation in the arterial wall that cause swelling, and then plaque builds up later on the inflamed area. Stevia is a natural extract of a plant and a good substitute for sugar and doesn't raise your blood sugar. You might want to work with a nutritionist for help figuring out what is safe to eat.

I guess I was not clear, I dont have gout pain any longer only the neuropathy stayed. I have not had a gout flare in a year just the neuropathy. The neuropathy gets better first thing in the am but worsens as the day goes on. I still have a bulging disc in my lower back but the connection between sweets and the neuropathy does not make sense. I have been tested for diabeties many times and not even close to diabetic is what I have been told. I have tried a total vegie diet and it help but it dont take it away. I am on day 11 after neck surgery for bulging disc and told it may be mechanical and though it has helpd my neck pain the nerves in my arms are not healed yet. Its changed my life from a fit guy who ran and biked daily to a couch riden bitter man. I hate what i have become and would love to get a real authentic diagnosis. I know I will never be 100 percent but 80 would be nice, hell ill take 50.
