I have for the last 10 year's or so suffered from Gout.I was massively overweight with very little exercise,as i was driving for all day in my job,so turning into a couch spud. I had all the blood test from the doc's and was diagnosed with the GOUT and now take Naproxin & Allopurinol. My weight before i decided to start cycling was 19st 10lb or there about, and i did find that drinking sugary pop i.e. coke was the trigger factor,but not alcohol (thank heavens).I am now weight wise down to 16st 8lb and have noticed that i aye had a bout of GOUT for about six month's or more.so my question to someone who may be medically informed is (is loosing the body weight along with being reasonably fit anyway related to staving off the GOUT), as i was led to believe that gout was due to not having the kidney/kidney's not working to there full potential in the getting rid of the Uric Acid, that then build's up and forms crystals in a joint (usually around the big toe area.) Also i have been drinking the dreaded coke not for long but had a few glass's when out with the wife and friends recently and no gout where as i used to have one mouthful and next day bang GOUT. hence my post.
