Tofu Gave Me a Gout Attack Posted: 09-06-06 17:33pm
I know all the adivce says that tofu, and
soy products in general, are good sources
of protein that will not result in the
gout. However, the other day, I had the
worse attack yet, and it was right after
having a dinner filled with tofu.
I had been gout free for over two months.
I was driking milk everyday, but in the
last few days had stopped, or just forgot
to drink it.
I think the combination of the two is what
did me in. The lack of milk, and the big
meal of tofu.
Anyone else here suspect tofu is not as
safe as the advice in other places says?

hi makoto,
i have had severe gout on and off for past
16 years.
I sometimes go several years with no
attacks at all.
Well, one night last april, I had a meal
of fried rice with lashings of soy sauce
poured over it.
Next day I was in agony in my toe, foot
and ankle and continued to get more
attacks for several months after being
attack free for 2 years.
I think soy sauce and it's by products are
one of the worst gout triggers you can
get.
