My OH gets it occasionally and it seems to be rather random, as heโ€™s not hoeing into the venison and red wine. I do think, with him, dietary changes can trigger it sometimes.

Hope youโ€™re feeling better soon

Thanks :)

It does feel random. Not a huge red meat eater, haven't had red wine in over a year. I did drink some very yeasty beer last weekend, so perhaps that did it. Come to think of it, my last flare up was 18 months ago, after drinking similar beer.

Guess I know what to avoid now.

does that mean yeasty bread would be bad for you

gout sounds so awful ๐Ÿ˜” so many gentle hugs and warm compresses

I'm not sure. I don't eat that much bread generally. If anything it'll be sourdough, but really that's like two maybe four slices per week.

I make pizza dough with yeast, but again, once a week..and didn't have any this week.

The meds are kicking in, so it's a bit better. Generally I can get it under control in like 3-4 days. Going to my GP tomorrow for something stronger hopefully. The stuff I have, works, but just barely.

Not gonna lie, next to sciatica, it's the worst type of pain/discomfort I've experienced. Who knew a single toe can mess you up so badly.

Thanks again for the kind words.
