Thanks, Athena. Good information on that site. I often go there, but missed that particular one.
I just remembered something I'd forgotten that happened before I had the first gout attack. I am very thin and underweight. Since I overdo and then become very tired, I thought (wrongly it turns out) that if I upped my protein it might give me more energy. Even though grass fed or as natural as possible for chicken, even ham, after a holiday meal of boeuf bourguignon, the next morning I was in agony with both toes. Looked it up online and it said that could also set it off.
Very careful now, back to eggs and some cheese until I find a balance.

Unfortunately, one can find out the hard way with flare ups. I stick mostly with soy products, beans, and duck for protein. I only cook meat in sauces, beans, casseroles, so it limits the amount of protein I get in a single meal. Maybe that helps? It’s great you perceptive and tracking! Do you take cherries?

I’m also fairly thin, 5’ 5”, 107 pounds. So, I do a protein drink made with Orgain protein powder each morning to supplement. It’s a natural product and the plain flavor has no sweetener. It hasn’t thus far, anyway, bothered me.

Let me know if you find more useful info to share!
