Purines in foods
I think my diabetes has started to degrade my kidney function, because I
have been having attacks of gout. Gout comes from precipitation of ureic (sp) acid crystals into a joint, like the big toe, from the blood, mainly because the kidneys are not adequately cleansing the urea in the blood. I am told that one defense is to cut way back on foods rich in the purines, such as the organ meats. I have been unable to discover just exactly the purines are nor a database of purine contents in foods. I am getting good results on the BG front from dietary control and exercise, but need to be able to do a better job helping to avert gout attacks. My internist has me on allopurinol and that seems to be helping. But the affected toe always feels just on the verge of flaring up. Gout is so very painful that I'd do almost anything to avoid it. I even asked about amputating the affected toe but the doc said it would just show up somewhere else. Arrrgh. -- John Ferman Minneapolis, MN |

Hi Jack,
If you've reduced carbs and have the genetic tendency, Gout is likely the result. I've had it since last December but my kidney function tests come out fine. My doc says it's the reduced carb and weight loss doing it. IIRC, part of the fat metabolism process during weight loss produces uric acid above what your body would normally have to handle. The allopurinol is a common first step, I'm on 300mg/da. There are many dietary things you can do. Try to google on gout & foods and variations of that. Also google for anti-inflammatory & food. Inflammation is a big part of gout. I've added to my diet, black cherry juice concentrate, more yogurt and sour cream, cider vinegar, more garlic, celery seed, fish oil, and occasional fresh black or sour cherries. I've eliminated coffee, red wine (really miss both) beef and chicken broth, and drastically reduced all forms of beef. Spinach is high in purine but may not have much effect on gout. There's much debate on vegetables that contain purine wrt gout. Push fluids. The more water you can process, the less likely to develop kidney stones. It also dilutes the uric acid in the blood and can help dissolve the uric crystals in your joints. In the same manner, if you're on a diuretic, ask your doctor if you can stop or reduce the dosage. I had my worst gout events when I was on one and no major ones since I quit. You can also take NSAIDs to help reduce inflammation (helps the bg too) and pain. Here again, work with your doctor to pick the right one for your situation. I ended on generic Tylenol even though I prefer aspirin. Gout is a challenge, I have it in both feet, my left hand and maybe my left knee. I developed tophi until I made my dietary changes. Now things are slowly improving again. I wish you luck, my friend, Peter G.

Diuretics can increase the amount of uric acid and cause gout. If you
are on blood pressure medicine, maybe you should talk to your doctor about switching to a different blood pressure medicine. Cookie Tiger Lily wrote: > Jack..... i'm adding a couple of other newsgroups > so that you get wider coverage for your question > here > > kate |

It gives me hope that even if I'm stuck with this, I likely can live with it. I've been losing weight by restricting carbs for almost 1 1/2 years now. I figure I still have that much or more to go. So I'm hoping that once I level out things will calm down again. For now with the diet things and the allopurinol, I can control the arthritis symptoms with generic Tylenol. The weight loss itself also helps. I'm rediscovering abilities I hadn't realized I lost. ) Any idea if gout has anything to do with my feet feeling cold most all the time? Peter G. |

I had shocking pain in both feet, not just a toe, whole feet - for 6 months before I found out what it was. I started on the gout meds which took 6 weeks to be effective and meanwhile the doctor finally decided to get on board with the ACE for diabetes. Unfortunately I got the cough and went onto the ARB. I discontinued the gout med about a year after starting and have been pain free since. |

Peter, my feet feel like I am wearing a very tight toeless sock - like from back from just behind the main ball of the foot. Cool feet could be a symptom of reduced blood flow, which could certainly be due to diabetes. I hope you watch your feet like a hawk, because any skin breaking injury could easily become infected. In my case, I suffer an extraordinary incidence of leg cramps - both at night and during the day when I kneel at the 'wrong' time - I figure this could be a consequence of reduced blood flow. I plan to ask my doc to start monitoring my leg arteries. -- John Ferman Minneapolis, MN |

Part of my go-to-bed routine is to massage my feet and check every toe. Occasionally I apply Bag Balm, a mildly antiseptic moisturizer. I don't have a lot of neuropathy. Fairly early diagnosis and bg control along with some Alpha Lipoic Acid (thanks ASD) has taken care of that. I also have gouty arthritis which is my primary challenge for now. I've worn support hose for a number of years to help control pitting edema from the knees down (before dx). Now I use heavier socks with less strength, more for warmth than support since getting bg under control. My feet will feel cold for no apparent reason even though if I take off my shoes and socks to check they're not all that cool. Then the next day.... toasty warm. I also get more and more night cramps..... less since I stopped taking a diuretic (don't need it any more). I wish I could figure out how to stop those also. Sorry to hear you get those during the day also. I've had both legs examined by ultrasound with no anomalous results. I tried aspirin for the blood thinning. Didn't seem to make any difference. One change I made was to talk my doc into letting me go *off* Lovastatin. I now take Niacin instead for the last three months. Since that change, my mean morning temp went from mid 96 to high 97 with less hair loss and muscle pain. My lipids weren't too bad to begin. I'm waiting for my next blood work.... Thanks for your perspective. It's good to know I'm not the only one... Peter G. |
