Low protein vegetables.

 
My doctor is  suggesting low protein vegetables for a while.    I have Gout
. Which I have been trying to address over a few years with diet.

Instead of meds.  Like Allupurinol and Colchicines.

I've been pretty happy with my managing .

But this is a big fail.   Its very bad.

 I set it off by eating  a couple of deer steaks and making Rabbit stew.  A
couple of times in January .

I'm pretty much done with game animals.  Which I love so much.  Because of
all the crap in our store bought meat.

I've not given much thought to vegetable protein.

But I do make Miso soup  which has tofu in it. But Its been a while.

It just seems rather extreme to say that I cant eat certain  vegetables  due
to protein content.

Any comments.

I find this strange as I would expect the method of reducing protein intake
to be to limit meat, fish, dairy and eggs.  If you are going to follow the
doctor's advice stay away from beans, peas and pulses such as lentils, soy
etc and also from products derived from them such as tofu, tempeh.  You will
need to monitor your consumption of protein in all forms carefully as there
are deficiency diseases resulting from lack of essentail amino acids that
the body cannot synthesize.  But I assume your doctor has already told you
this.

 I was just checking. Sources for vitamin d, fish, meat, etc. I would
suggest taking at least 1000 units a day and vitamin c, at least 500 units
per day. D and c are recommended for gout. I was getting major hip problems
3 years ago. I attribute my recovery mostly to vitamin d. Also improved
other areas of my body. Activity in the sun will reduce supplemental d
requirements.

Uhm, low PURINE.

Protien rich foods should be reduced, but not wholly avoided.  Not all
protien foods are high in purines, much as not all sugars metabolize
at the same rate.

I'm not a doctor, but what you might consider doing is increasing your
intake of foods which help the body eliminate uric acid, such as leafy
greens.  ALso red cabbage, tomatoes, and green beans.

I'd seek the advice of a nutritionist (if your doctor refers you,
perhaps your medical insurance will cover it).

My wife has suffered gout a few times in the past 10 years.  From what
I've seen, it's clearly no fun.

 

'  Purines.  That is it.

    Thank you for advice.   It is not fun.   You're wife has surely endured
something.     Three years ago I had my first  can't walk attack.

I made it much worse  by not using the meds correctly.

Lets just say. I raised my  pain threshold upper limit 10,  to mean.
Sticking your foot in hot lava.

And arthritis is nothing now.

I haven't had cabbage in a while.  maybe its time for a pot.

it wont be the same without a corned beef in it...
