I don’t seem to fit the mold of someone that is suppose to get gout.
I exercise (run) not heavy set 5-8″ 170 lbs. I don’t eat the rich meats.
Hey, gout runner, you haven’t given us much info to go on. You’ll get a faster response if you log in, and put some facts about your gout in your profile.
The media, and some of the medical profession would have you think there is a typical person that gets gout. OK, if you eat and drink too much, you have a higher chance of getting gout. But what if your gout is genetic, or what if it’s driven by other illnesses, other meds, or environmental toxins? In those cases, what you eat becomes less significant.
Your BMI, http://www.goutpal.com/2269/losing-weight-with-gout-foods-to-avoid/ , says you’re overweight, which means you are twice as likely to get gout as someone with normal weight. These are only guidelines, and every person needs to be viewed as an individual. To get a better idea, I’d need to know more about your typical daily diet. Just avoiding rich meats isn’t enough. There are 5 bad food groups, so may be lots of other reasons you are getting gout. Have you read my latest blog article about the 5 bad foods for gout?
