I'd be willing to bet that it was. My husband had his worst attack that I
can recall following boasting about all of the fresh seafood they got at
work and the great chefs that they had/

How very nice of you to let her go hungry. Hopefully she asked someone
else to open the can for her.

See a real rheumatologist and get a real cure. My first and only gout
attack was severe. Bedridden for a week, crutches for 2 wks, cane for
2 mos. Doc put me on allipurinol. Now, I eat anything I choose
(including sardines!) and haven't had an attack in 15 yrs.

In some places the eyes of fish are a delicacy. Often given to the guest
of honor. My granddaughter likes them.

No, they don't. The quills are made of keratin, a protein, *not* fiber
(cellulose). It's similar to the keratin in hair, nails and skin of all
mammals, and even the feathers and beaks of birds, and the scales of fish.

Fiber is made of a bunch of glucose molecules, and TTBOMK, the only
animals that use glucose complexes as structural components are arthropods,
and it would be a stretch to call even those, "fiber."

Why do people blow out the ass so much here?

Well it's not my fault that she chose to bring something she couldn't open.
Chances would have been good that nobody else would have been in the break
room when she went to lunch because it was an odd time. I found someone
else to open it for her.

That's not a cure. Pretty sure that is what my FIL took and my husband too.
Neither could/can eat what they want. But it's different for everyone. I
used to have a friend who got it in his knees. Didn't seem to be related to
food.

I'm with you Bryan,

I eat ones packed in mustard. I know the bones taste like sardines but my mind don't want to eat them. I pick the backbone out, add more mustard, mix em up some and eat them on crackers.

I wouldn't know a "real rheumatologist" If one bit me in the butt. I've
been on allopurinol for over a decade and am quite happy not to have had
a gout attack since my doc gave me the script. The last attack was
apparently triggered by anchovies. I only ate them cause my grandson was
visiting and we usually split a small pizza with them little salty fish
added. Ouch!

In, any event only anchovies and sardines scare me. I used to carry a
couple of cans of anchovies in case the pizza place was out. No more!

I have a couple of cans in my kitchen. You can have them, but you'll
have to come get them.

In the Ozarks ...

They're the one's who charge big $$$$ and will milk yer treatment for
all it's worth. Still, they fixed me. ;)

You might be surprised. I also got my gout from anchovies. I'd jes
discovered salt-pack anchovies and was eating half a dozen every night
with a couple bottles of beer. Silly me! Now, after downing
allipurinol for a couple decades, I can tolerate anchovies on my
pizza. Jes not regularly. I allow myself one lrg pizza and one can
of lil' salty fishes about once per year.

I've managed to get by without the drugs and without major dietary
limits - so far. With age it may be slowly getting worse, my last
attack after a few trout over a few weeks was scary, I used to eat
those all the time with no problem. And the gout kept moving from one
joint to another so took a long time to clear completely, never had
that before either. Do you know how many joints there are in the foot
- in each foot? OMG.

I could probably eat one tin of sardines per month without triggering
an attack, such red meat, shrimp, mushrooms and beer as I consume seem
OK.

Whoa! Didn't know trout were so high in purines. And you take
allipurinol? I haven't had an attack in over 18 yrs and I eat most
everything. In fact, my uric acid level is so low, I bet I could stop
taking allipurinol. But then, I couldn't eat whatever I please. :(

No, I do not take allopurinol.

Yes, trout is *very* high, like sardines, like all fresh fish. My
mistake and I paid for it!

My father had one or two small attacks of gout, was given allopurinol
for a while, then discontinued it. I guess I have it a little worse
than he ever did, or my diet is a little worse, but still based on his
model I guess it's not too bad.

I probably eat less than a quarter of the red meat that he was in the
habit of eating, back in the day, so that's in my favor.

The side-effects list also doesn't thrill me ... but I'm very paranoid
about virtually all medical procedures, well really, I'm paranoid that
most doctors are slipshod idiots who bury their mistakes.

I'm still waiting for a Doctor McCoy, his medical tricorder, and some
nice cordrazine, fixes everything right up.

What happened to those full body scans? I can remember them being
advertised some years ago. They cost several thousand dollars and I think
most or perhaps no insurance would cover them.

I enjoy Smoked Kipper snacks right out of the can followed by the mustard on saltines but the best I can recall from years ago was a smoked herring called a Blind Robin. It would clear the room but it was good stuff. I never saw it in a store, only in a tavern next to the pack of Joe's Cheese and crackers which of course was right next to the big jar of pickled eggs. Good times.

I've seen that, if they find a noninvasive way to measure blood
pressure they'll be rich, otherwise so far it's pretty much a toy.
