Thank you guys very much for the suggestions and analyses, I really appreciate it.
Yes, if it were not my brother’s gout, I could probably not have worried much given a low urate and GP’s verdicts. However, as said, gout is such a complex puzzle, a puzzle differs individually … a real headache, isn’t it?
No, two weeks ago X-ray did not tell anything wrong – normal as usual. Yeah, X-ray should have revealed if I had a bunion?
Anyway, I will book another blood test a few months later. In the meantime I am going to see a podiatrist about bunion or other potential biomechanical issues (such as imbalanced weight put on two feet), as referred by GP, and report you the result later on.
Thanks, Jean. Giving my urate level, here GP (UK) thinks it’s unlikely gout and does not recommend needling. Now, I accidently found that my pain might be due to bunion: https://www.scpod.org/foot-health/common-foot-problems/bunions/ . Came across anything like this before, Jean?
Hi ‘nobody’, I had the blood test last Fri (23rd Feb) in the hospital. Today I got the result, 252 umol/L, ie about 4.2 mg/dl, normal. Back to my own measure during last 4 weeks, (3.8, 4.1, 3.2, 5.3, 5.1), it seems these results are relatively accurate. May I say it’s unlikely a gout? Thanks.
Thank you, Jean. I will keep watching the symptoms and see if eating beans could be anything related to the ua level.
Thanks again, ‘nobody’, for your views. Before I had pain in my left big toe (thus went to see GP), I had Kefir Milk everyday (made by myself from grain) for about 3 months. I stopped drinking it as I suspected that could be cause of my problem especially I had Kefir milk together with fruit jam (with loads of fuctose or syrup).
No, I haven’t done a blood test. But just let you know, ‘nobody’, my brother has gout for a few years already, and I tend to have cold hands/feet in winter due to poor blood circulation. Reading the articles in this forum, I feel my chance of having gout seems not small -:(
Anyway, I will update you after seeing GP next week.
Thanks, ‘nobody’, again for the suggestion.
In my previous post I replied two participants and sought their opinion about food good for me during this period, but it seems they are not online. It would be great if you can help.
My questions is whether eating kiwi fruit and porridge (made of dry beans such as black bean, green bean, read bean, etc.) is bad for gout. Any opinion?
hi Jean, you mentioned about the bean. I often cook porridge with many kinds of dry beans (green, red, black, etc.) and eat it once in two days (or once a day). My uric acid level is low (within the range) but I still have pain on my foot(already lasting for 20 days, not very sharp though). Is the ben the cause? thanks.
hi Bob, if I understand you correctly, you meant that you have little flare up after stopping taking fruit or any foods rich in fructose? I like kiwi fruits and eat two every morning before breakfast. My uric acid level is low (within the range) but I still have pain on my foot. Is the kiwi the culprit? thanks.
