The only major change to diet I have had recently is switching to 0% ethanol beer…
I have gout in my big toe.
I read today that apparently these “beers” contain purines too…bummer.

This should stop the uric acid precipitating out as sodium urate should the concentration of uric acid stray from equilibrium… too many sodium ions could be bad too…
