My husband was diagnosed with gout years ago, they gave his a med(don't
remember the name) and he hasn't had any problems since then. We do eat beef
in this house but not often, once and awhile we'll have steak...maybe once a
month. I will make him a meatloaf every two months. We eat chicken,
pork..sometimes ham, turkey, and fish. We haven't had any hamburgers since
the big gall bladder attack, and the removal. We had pizza the other night
with no affects, ate one slice and topping of one slice with salad. I will
try a hamburger one of these days . My liver seems to be dumping the right
amount of bile so far...don't want to take any chances yet I have a big
freezer and keep it pretty well stocked...I am slowly throwing out old
stuff. My husband worries about the trash bag being to heavy for the trash
guy, so I can only throw away a couple of items per kitchen bag, which he
puts into a big black bag , and he doesn't want the black bag to
heavy...such a caring guy...LOL. We have a full pantry...I like to keep
stocked up . I found a Haiti Pork chop recipe the other day and am trying
it tonight. It has orange marmalade , and chipotle with adobo sauce. It just
sounded good so thought I would try it. We'll have salad and hubby will have
rice with his...or I might make a baked sweet potato to split.
