    Thanks as always, Keith. I think I am drinking plenty and mixing it with fruit juices etc (cherry in particular ๐Ÿ˜‰ and not drinking too much, the pain is only when I likely drink too much, so is not persistent. I have a dr’s appt coming in 10 days or so, so will ask for those tests, which he did not yet give me an order for.

    All great news! Thanks so much, Keith. This forum is a great place!
    I think what people fail to realize (as I did) is that it is a looooong term issue to deal with and even if you change your diet habits immediately upon recognizing it, it appears it can take months to get rid of the crystals, even with meds.
    In my experience, anyway!

    I’m shocked that beer may not affect uric acid, as that seems to be all over the place – but will do the testing and report back. Consistent with your view, I drank a LOT last summer as I had a kegerator and had a uric acid level of 7.1 with no pain – this summer I drank 1 beer per day as an absolute max, uric acid of 6.1 and ended up with gout?!

    Wow! Many thanks, Keith. I will keep you posted…it’s so odd how different it can be with different people. Do you think there is an occasional IPA to look forward to in my future then?! LOL. I predict a lot more of this gout stuff going on with the rise of microbrews – NY is now an IPA “capital” I’m told….
    Thanks again,
