    What another 36 year old?  I am 36 too so welcome to the 36 year old Gout brotherhoodSmile

    I noticed that many people are in their 30's too…

    Are you overweight?

    I think so but it's relative I guess. I'm 6 foot high and weigth 92kg (roughly 200 pounds I think?). Not that much but I carry a small belly 🙂

    I doubt milk would do anything.

    I saw somewhere that milk is good actually. Sorry that I don't have any link pointing to any evidence…

    My point I guess is why worry about the diet if it only influences so little on the acid level? Is it worth it or should I get the bazooka (Allopuriol) and kill the beast (at least temporary) ??

    Do (can) people take the drug just a few weeks per year, creating some sort of roller coaster effect? (taking it when the acid level gets too high?)

    Or am I saying nonsense? 🙂

    Other question, how long does it normally take to lower the acid level, and once the crystals are “melted”, are you considered “cured”, at east at that moment? I understand cyrstals will eventually re-form in the future, but Allopuriol will disolve the crystal over time right?

    Sorry the post is messed up but my comments are up there? 🙂
