When faced with a gout diagnosis, many people are told to reduce their intake of red meat, organ meats, and shellfish because they contain purines. Purines turn into uric acid, and for a small percentage of people, removing them from the diet may eliminate gout symptoms. However, many people find that avoiding purines alone doesn’t help. Research has found that one of the strongest drivers of gout is insulin resistance. Uric acid is normally eliminated through the kidneys and the gut. When you have insulin resistance, it becomes more difficult for the kidneys to flush out uric acid. As uric acid builds up, it can accumulate in the joints, causing gout pain, or back up into the kidneys and contribute to kidney stones. High-fructose corn syrup can significantly increase uric acid production in the liver. Fructose is found in table sugar, agave nectar, fruit, and fruit juice, and is primarily metabolized by the liver. Hidden glucose from industrial starches can significantly raise insulin levels, contributing to uric acid buildup and joint pain, especially in the big toe and knees. Poor gut health and alcohol consumption may also contribute to gout. Some people experience a gout attack when starting keto, but this is typically temporary and often subsides within the first or second week. Consuming celery and increasing your fluid intake may help your body clear uric acid more quickly.

My husband has pseudo-gout, caused by a different crystal than normal gout. It was caused by toothpaste, as that's the only exposure to this crystal. He changed toothpaste to Boka brand and it went away and never came back. The crystal in toothpaste is calcium pyrophosphate. It migrates to injured joints and causes gout symptoms. His pain was 10 out of 10, awful. He had an old knee injury where they removed the meniscus, he had bone on bone for many years. He even had an attack after a knee replacement. Check your toothpaste for calcium pyrophosphate and switch to a brand that doesn't have it.

Two things stopped my gout attacks: fasting & switching from beer to red wine. Haven’t had an attack in about a decade.
