Best Gout Diet, What Causes Uric Acid & How to Reduce Uric Acid - Dr. Boz

[@1charlastar886]

I recently switched to Xylitol, AN alcohol sugar, as a substitute for white or unbleached sugar for making holiday pies and cobblers. Within a few weeks I found my feet and toes were experiencing acute pain. I was sure it couldn't be gout because I don't eat a lot of meat (except turkey over the holidays), drink no alcohol, drink water freely and rarely eat processed foods. I grow a lot of our food in my garden. My toes turned purple and felt like they had needles being pounded through them. A friend brought me Allopurinol and instructions to take a large dose for 2-3 days. I felt better and began researching gout. I heard Dr. Berg mention that Xylitol can contribute to gout. Research shows that Xylitol alcohol sugar increases the risk of gout 800%. Not only that, it crosses the blood brain barrier and was likely the reason I kept stumbling around like a drunk. I've always been intolerant of even small amounts of alcohol. NO MORE XYLITOL FOR ME!!!

This is exactly what is happening to me now. I do not tolerate alcohol and I replaced sugar with Xylitol. Got inflammation in almost all joints.

Dr. Boz, I've lost about 25 lbs the past year. I haven't had a gout attack in many years. My uric acid typically fluctuates from 3-5. I've had two tests though where I've had crazy high uric acid. On the first, I just finished a 72-hour fast several days before; one the second, I was in ketosis for 5 straight days and lost 1-2 lbs. In my last one, I suddenly had a uric acid of 11! On my first one, I forget the number, but I believe it was above 7. After two weeks on my retest, it dropped to 3. I suspect on my upcoming retest, my 11 will drop dramatically. BTW, my Dr Boz ratio during this said period of ketosis ranged from 20-40. Having said all that, does prolonged fasting or ketosis acutely impact uric acid that way? And has anyone else experienced this? Does fat metabolism inherently release uric acid into the blood? Thanks! I'd love to hear insights from everyone! I"m pretty confused.

​@@mrright1068 Im so sorry it happened to you. It's always possible some people are just more prone to that. Or that maybe I was just living a lifestyle that was so much more detrimental to me. At least to me living a low carb lifestyle has eliminated gout for me. BUT, in the off events where I possibly get a hint of the initial pain of gout, I will always take 500 mg of Naproxen. I have found that if you cut this off at the pass, it will help stop it. As soon as you feel it coming on...and you'll know it...take like a minimum of 500 mg (there's different versions but youll be able to get it if you've had gout before). It can literally stave off an attack.

For someone who is on allopurinol for gout, but also seems to have it well-managed on a ketogenic diet, is there a situation when you would consider/recommend cessation of allopurinol treatment?

[@maschwab63]

The allopurinol dissolves the uric acid crystals, making your blood levels higher. Unfortunately, my kidneys didn't excrete the uric acid faster, so it just caused me more flare ups. Uloric helped me, and when I skip it I am now getting tophi outside my joints, so no more joint pain. Colchicine for 3 days usually takes care of a flare up. Went several years without treatment after allopurinol failure and was on crutches for about 4 years. Wheat Belly (Keto) really helped. Had flare ups after a large dose of summer sausage after a purchase of one of each kind, and a separate large dose of thin crust pizzas when I was feeling poor.

[@krisjustin3884]

If I stick to any meat and vegetables I’m fine, but anything with sugar and too much bread with a few too many sips of wine can set it off again. Then I take an anti inflammatory until the pain goes then back to keto with no meds.

I do OMAD with an 18/6 restricted eating. I eat an avocado/chocolate/cream cheese concoction (stevia sweetened) for dessert nearly every day. Last bite at 1pm. I test at 10:30 pm. Ketones 3-6.7 are normal. Glucose 98-108. Does the Dr Boz ratio count even if sugar is that high? Am I getting the benefits? Or do I have to give up my stevia and get the glucose down to get them?

[@hairway2heavensalon541]

What is your glucose in the morning?

[@pipsqueakspartytime7965]

@@hairway2heavensalon541 I never test in the morning bc I heard “dawn effect” means we should wait at least one hour after waking before testing. I REALLY want my coffee with cream first thing... waiting over an hour to get it doesn’t work for me. But I haven’t eaten for 9-10 hours by the time I do the blood test at night.

@@pipsqueakspartytime7965 The last I heard Dr Boz say was to test in the morning before you go to the bathroom. My stuff is in a drawer in the bathroom because I do it in the morning on the toilet

Yeah, i dont know why they call this a restrictive diet when you can eat desert every day. If you eat every day keto sweets i think you should do some long fastings to reset your body.

People have died from drinking that much water too fast! Yes, too much water too fast can actually kill you. You can google it, if you don’t believe me. Please be careful!

If a doctor recommends changing your food diet to reduce uric acid, you know right away, the doctor KNOWS NOTHING.

[@dq7143]

Do you realize that exercise increases uric acid levels? Should we stop exercising??? Please - more advice is needed to understand how the body can better process uric acid!!!

[@directajith]

Are you sure???

[@cometcal2]

@@directajith Uric acid levels increase for a variety of reasons - even for healthy activities like exercise or eating wholesome red meat. Ideas on how to get the body to best process uric acid is important. Restricting processed sugars and unhealthy seed oils in the diet are only the beginning.

I have a ua at 10-13 mg/dl and doing carnivore straight since 4 weeks. Fatty meat butter and eggs + salt and water. Interesting thing my gfr after cystacine c went from 60 to 99 ml/min which sounds great. Should I use adenuric/allopurinol to counter that while on keto adaption? Can't find sufficient information on this topic. Thank you!

[@kaungthant6614]

Keto is not worth it imho. It is risky and hard to adhere to. I recommend the *Agoge diet* because it's personalized and diverse and most importantly worked great for me.

You guys are all being spoon fed a pile of shit. Gout has nothing to do with what you’re being told. Ya want your gout gone? Let me know, I’ll give it to you.
