Gout
Gout sufferers generally have higher levels of
uric acid in their blood, which can cause sodium urate crystals to
be deposited in the joints - an extremely painful condition.
Losing weight on any diet can raise uric acid
levels, so if you are susceptible to gout you could be at risk of
an attack, particularly during the first few days.
If you suffer with gout please be aware weight
loss can induce an attack and prophylactic treatment with
Allopurinol is advised. Please discuss this with your GP.
