    Uric Acid

    I'm sure alot of you know that I passed out about a week or two ago and had to go to the doctor to find out what happened. While it looks like I just had a drop in my blood presure and with a mixture of the heat really got to me causing me to pass out. They did did some blood work while I was there and I received a call from the doctor's office. They said they needed to set up an appointment for me to see the doctor to go over my results from my blood work. The only thing I could get out of her was that I had low Iron and my Uric Acid was high. After doing some research online I found this;

    Atkins Diet and Gout:

    Not only is this diet full of purines that cause excess uric acid production, but the diet also causes stored body fat to be consumed thereby releasing more uric acid. This is a double dose of uric acid for the gout sufferer causing an overload on the system and perhaps creating some of the worst gout attacks and build up of in connective tissue an individual has ever experienced. Gout sufferers after they cleanse their system can use a modified Atkins diet for weight loss while using our Gout Care herbal blend.


    SOOO.... Now I am worried about two things. One that the doctor is going to ask me to stop Atkins or two that I'm going to have Gout. What to do????

    If anyone out there has any input (NOT MEDICAL ADVISE) but has heard anything about this or has gone through this I would to love to hear some feed back.

    Re: Uric Acid

    remember you passed out, it was hot, and your blood pressure was low so your lab results may have been skewed. if you were dehydrated too levels will be elevated.

    there are many medical conditons that a high uric acid level can be a symptom of other then gout so met with yoiuyr doc and listen. there are ways to do Atkins with a high uric acid level by being selective in your food choices and avoiding excesses in ones like alcohol, coffee, soft drinks, anchovies, asparagus, legumes, mushrooms, and meats, especially organ meats, and shellfish

    also low potassium can cause increases in uric acid too so don't worry about what it might be or may need to be done to correct it until you have all the info. heck even weight loss can effect uric acid kidney clearance. wait to know before you panic. one high level will noit cause your Atkins to have to stop.
