painwise and damage permanently one’s joints. I have heard 90% get better on a vegan diet.
I saw one should not eat meat,. poultry, fish,. beans, dairy, and some fruits and veggies like mushrooms, asparagus, et for the high purine content.
I just had a fasting blood sugar that was 151 so I may have diabetes or at least syndrome x..my allopathetic- but extremely into health foods and alternative health-doctor told me not to eat any grains except I think she said millet and only sour fruits and berries…for the blood sugar problems and eat mostly meats and veggies. Between the blood sugar recommendations and the gout suggestions This leaves nothing pretty much it seems.
I have been vegetarian every other day with about 10% animal foods, and at one time eating 50% of my diet in produce but I have slipped.
I like meats a lot but not so much chicken and fish except shellfish but shellfish is a big nono for gout I read, I am used to using meats as an ingrediant in stir frys,
soups, etc and I do eat cheese and once in a great while yogurt but no milk for many years except soy and nut milks. Being a food addict, changing to a vegan would be extrememly hard for me.
What would what would help me ease into a vegan diet..it seems so impossible as eaten this way so long…grains seem so long to cook and although produce can be exciting..grains seem kind of dull. If one kept their meat and dairy to a small amount, would this still help the gout..like say eating a few ounces a day or every other day.
how do some of you know how old I am..(you are too young to ha ve gout)..I had a uric acid count of 10.4 and was told I likely do have gout and was prescribed medicine for it actually.
Some of you vegans are really rude and I thought not eating meats left one more peaceful. Ha..I can’t believe the rudeness of two poster on here in answering. I wish I could say what I really think of your answers.
Also I did not say I was eating vegetarian evry other day for some kind of points, but merely to inform people of what my diet currently was, jerks.
You should consult a traditional dietitian to help you work out an eating plan that would be suitable for you and work with a professional in alternative medicine as well.
Some online sources that might be of help are: about.com webmd.com
about.com is another good source of info
Perhaps getting a second opinion would be the answer. I would also suggest a bio-chemical analysis to rule out certain foods but not necessarily all meats. Visit http://www.wheatfree.com.au – they have a great test you can purchase that will help rule out foods that are creating your illness.

I am sorry to read your gout problem. Also i am
)
surprised when you know your problem you are
still tempted to eat shell fish and meat in stir frys.
Further you are still seeking sympathy by asking
whether eating a few ounces would be o.k. Shows
how we human beings are a slave to taste. I read
somewhere – tongue is the rope by which many hang
themselves. (BY TALKING TOO MUCH AND EATING
TOO MUCH) – italics/capitals are mine.
Please Janie there is no half way. Make a full leap
beyond. Be a fruitarian (at least for 3 months) which
will help you and go a long way in getting rid of your
problem. Please visit the site http://www.fruitarian.com and
also http://www.acornfruitarian.com which will provide you
with all details about how to go about it.
Remember no long time wasted in cooking etc.,
Enjoy and be disease free. Cheers!

I’m a great believer in alternative medicine AND traditional medicines as well. Each have something to offer.
I would suggest you go to a traditionally trained physician that specializes in diabetes and problems associated with it. I would do it fast.

The first thing that would help is to stop moaning so much about it all. It’s not that difficult to become a vegan and there is so much to eat so you could continue being a "food addict". There is so much info out there too all you need to do is a bit of research. there are hundreds of vegan blogs with lots of recipes.
I really think you need to look at something other then becoming vegan as you seem to like your meat. Just except this and stop saying your a vegetarian every other day… this does not make any sense you either are a vegetarian or you eat meat.
I would also agree to getting a second opinion as you seem quite young to have gout.

A *fasting* blood sugar of 151 is very high. Some would say it already is full blown diabetes.
You shouldn’t completely avoid carbs. You have to eat slow release forms, and include lots of beans, legumes and veggies. Tofu is good too.
