Newbie question --Diet and Gout
I've been doing this diet for about two months and have gone from 270 to 250. I feel great (but for the exception below). I really eat very few carbs and I have really gotten used to it. I do drink about 3 glasses of red wine daily.
3 times in the last month I have come down with gout. In years past, I have had occasional problems, but maybe once a year at most. The little research I have done on the internet tells me that beer and alcohol can probably make one susceptible to gout, but there has never been a connection between wine and gout.
My wife thinks it's the diet and not the wine. Of course, I want to think the same. Anyone out there who can help me with this? Supplements maybe!!
Thanks, John
