After dealing with gout for over 10 years and reading and listening to everything i possibly can about it, i still find it difficult to understand how, after eating a food 24 hours previously, this can then trigger an attack. I assume that prior to an attack the UA level is high and the blood saturated with UA cystals, which would be deposited in a joint which may already have a crystal build up from previous high levels, therefore, how, chemically and physiogically, does a particular food trigger these into action.
I appreciate the purine and protein effect on the UA blood levels but this surley is only over some lengthy period of time.

Any knowledge on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Geoff
