QDM
is this true for Gout?
Mmm...one has low cholesterol and a ridiculously low BP, but I have to take Allopurinol (300) "for the rest of your life."
I would very much like to stop taking this medication if the problem can be dieted away.
I have had two episodes of gout, and would sooner cut my feet off than have another one. In full uniform, fifty yards from the edge of the tarmac, I had to get a vehicle to pick me up. I could not...repeat not, walk another step.
At this time I was very fit, well in terms of judo, running and the like, but this came out of the blue. Daily Allopurinol has been a total answer...except in terms of the published side affects.
Any hope that a cure by dieting can be achieved? LR
Edit...oh, by the way, this was 25 years ago :-(
