Good report card
As one of the "I'm back" members of LDL I had the experience of going to the doctor last week for one of my more severe gout attacks. While there, the conversation of my weight came up. I told the doctor I was on LDL and briefly explained it. He said he had heard about it. Since I do not weigh myself, I quoted the inches lost to him and he said if it is working for me to keep it up. He also ordered lab work to be done. (heart, cholesterol, uric acid, etc.) When I got the results I was amazed. The nurse said that the doctor was very pleased with my tests results and everything was very much in line with normal results. The uric acid which causes the gout was LOW. The only reason these results were as good as they are is because of what I have been eating. When I did LDL 4 years ago, I had the same success. Now the only thing I am still stumped about is why I still develop gout with low uric acid reading. Guess I will figure that out later. I've only been back for about a month, but just like before, it is working.

Re: Good report card
Welcome back Mike! so glad to have you return.
You might try cellery seed for your gouty pain. As a nurse, I have learned that labels really mean little.
Congratulations on the good lab report!!!Yeah!

Re: Good report card
Great news on the blood work! My husband suffers with gout. Sometimes we have no idea what caused the attack!
It is a terrible problem. Keep up the good work.

Re: Good report card
I really don't know much about gout either, but I was wondering if maybe because you'd been off the LDL way of eating for so long, your body had stored some of the toxins. Now that you are eating right again, it flushed them out and maybe somehow because of that, you had a flare up.
OK, now that you are back on LDL, stay! Don't go anywhere else! It is wonderful, as you know. You are going to stay healthiest eating this way -- and you can also stay happy with all the good flavor.
Welcome back.
