I am a new member of gout-pal.? I just had the gout attack from hell in my right knee.? I have suffered from attacks in the past usually after a binge on meat (sausage) and moderate quantities of beer.? I could feel the big toe start to tingle and I would automatically drown my sorrows with massive amounts of water.? I've always felt I could control the gout with diet and hydration while still being able to drink beer at my Wednesday night crib game and Saturday sports watching.? I backtracked on my food intake and figured out that hummus may have been the kicker for my last attack.? I didn't even know garbanzo beans were loaded with purines.? Now I'm a little confused about what kind of bread I can eat.? I also didn't realize that the body produces uric acid naturally and I need to stay away from acidic foods vs alkaline foods.? I need to start from square one.? What advice can you fellow sufferers give me?? Thanks.
