Oh man, I feel ya. Not gout but I’ve got other medical issues that have restrictive diets. The bitch of it is, I have to cut out certain foods due to the gastric bypass and other foods for the kidney failure. And the two diets are opposites. Too much of either and a bad day is had by all.

Eventually they sent me to a dietician and after explaining the diets and her looking into it she had no idea what to do with me (a sentiment shared by most of my doctors at one time or another). Basically her advice was, find a happy medium. Well no shit what do you think I’ve been trying to do?

Good you’re feeling better, but I feel ya that the restrictive diets are a pain and sometimes you just want to take a break from it.
