Some of the party food is actually alright, I've been trying some out. Even managed one of the mini-pies without much effect which was good to see. Can't beat pigs in blankets though.

Yes, we've liked what we've had so far.

Unfortunately a diet high in protein and fats (like Atkins) can cause gout in people who are predisposed to it. It’s not that I’m against Atkins at all so please don’t shoot the messenger but there does seem to be a link for people who produce more Uric acid.
See your GP Ditto because once this episode is under control, you may need daily Allupurinol if it is diagnosed as gout. They’ll do a blood test to confirm. I’ve seen my husband cry with the pain of gout so don’t let it take hold.

Cherry juice and cherry extract are supposed to help gout.

@Ditto please heed Amigos excellent advice ~ better safe than sorry x
 
I'm not surprised if I do have gout...decades of pigging out! I'm not so worried about it though as I'm more worried about the D, the dicky ticker, the high blood pressure, the dicky liver and the arthur in my hip. :D At least my eyes aren't wonky any more, thank goodness for small mercies.

Apart from the ticker, I’ve got all those and the wonky eyes Ditto but I still wouldn’t want gout. The uric crystals can lodge in your kidneys so drink plenty and get to the doc! 🙂

According to my father in law, who has had it for years, ( on and off, ) cherries and their juice helps, as well as drinking loads of water. By loads I mean 3 litres plus a day. 🙂
