Lori Rowley-Sipple Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 My husband and I finished a Whole 60 on May 1st. He has lost 47 lbs, and I have dropped 25! We were feeling great! Until his foot became really painful...diagnosis? Gout! And the cause is a high animal protein diet. We are devastated. How do we go on being healthy when all the "wisdom" for gout says he needs to cut animal protein out and eat more grains HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmary Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 yes. read Chris's link. I think it is likely that this gout is caused by the quick weight loss, not the foods he has been eating. See here for some more information on "paleo" style eating and gout. http://chriskresser.com/will-eating-a-paleo-diet-cause-gout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Also, don't forget the cherries! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/10/15/cherries-reduce-gout-attack-risks.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahInParis Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This might be in the earlier thread, but Gary Taubes actually wrote a chapter on gout that didn't make it to publication - this can give you ammunition to avoid a high carb diet for gout management http://fourhourworkweek.com/2009/10/05/gout/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
