Yep . Get your uric acid level checked. Cherry juice didn't help me at all.
- allopurinol is what I take. The first time it hit me I went to the emergency room in tears. I don't think protein is an issue since I do the low-carb thing and eat a LOT of protein with no issue.
I have been diagnosed with Pseudo-Gout, which is pretty much the same thing as regular Gout, but instead of being caused by uric acid crystals, it's calcium crystals. Hurts like hell when it flares up too. It is pretty much controlled by Colchicine, but be careful, it can give you the dia-rear...
