In your situation, I would focus on keeping calories down, and reducing meat in favor of dairy proteins. Green tea, coffee, 500mg vitamin C, and onions are associated with lower uric acid. That does not mean you should stick to these alone! Just sensible eating avoiding excesses of calories, iron, and animal purines (search for ‘Purine Rich Foods ? Much Easier If You Ignore Pointless Purines’ to avoid wasting time on less up-to-date purine tables). Donate blood as frequently as possible within health medical guidance, and you should be able to stay safe.>>

Thanks for the advice! The good news is where I am moving, meat is very expensive. So it will mostly be a diet of dairy products, and…Well since my fiance loves everything about Onions, a lot of that. Also potatoes, oddly.

I am going to miss the shellfish though…

Donating blood helps? I suppose it clears out Ulric crystals or otherwise?

Thanks for all of the advice. Hmm, I think I would like to eventually get the joint test therein.

Perhaps it would be prudent to maintain a strict diet (I also have pre-hypertension that I am monitoring anyways), until 3 months or so when I can get on health insurance in Switzerland, then perhaps start treatment. Because my Ulric Acid level started off at 7.4 after an attack. I can assume that it would be a good thing to lower my UA level anyways because of other risks I suppose.

Thanks again! That gives me a good oversight and plan for what I need to do.
