A co-worker messaged the team last week "I sprained my ankle or something, I'll rest up and be back at work next week"

I said to myself "that'll be gout".

So 6 days later she's back at work and tells us it was gout. I replied "that sucks, I used to get gout and it hurt"

She PMs me "used to?" I tell her it's been all good since zero carb except when I accidentally have sugar

She quizzed me for an hour about what her doctor told her versus my experience. I think I might have a new zero carber on my team

It's a shame that allopurinol ended gout research in the '50s

I do drink alcohol, and it doesn't trigger gout. Beer even. Super high yeast beer even.

But 10g of table sugar triggers a gout attack
