Is there any info regarding eggs being bad
for gout?
I eat at least one egg per day and I have
shocking gout.
Wonder if there is a connection here?
Cheers,
paul.

Paul, I have the same problem.
I love eggs, but I can't eat them without
having a flare up.

Hi mrfirkin and WanttoKnow,
Ironically, (chicken) eggs have been
recommended for gout patients in the
medical and nutritional literature because
they are very low in purines (< 50
mg/100 g of eggs), thus can keep the blood
uric acid level low.
To find out why eggs trigger gout, could
you tell us more about how eggs impact
your gout, e.g., how many eggs do you eat
a day, gout hits how many hours after
eating eggs, what other suspected food did
you eat with eggs, what kind of vitamin
supplement do you take, how long have you
had gout, how often do you have gout
attacks, what are your uric blood uric
acid levels ...? Many thanks.
