Jeff C reacted to Bob in High uric acidThis would vary per individual. There are a number of things that can increase uric acid levels. Yes, meat consumption (especially organ meat and red meat) can be one of them, but so can medications, obesity, and high carbohydrate and sugary foods. Many people who previously experienced a gout flare up on a standard American diet never get them again on a carnivore diet.
If you are losing weight rapidly, this will also increase uric acid in your blood temporarily. Things will return to baseline some time after acheving a stable weight.
Wait it out, and keep doing what you're doing.
I had gout when I was doing dirty keto, but I've never had gout in the last 3 years of strict or semi-strict carnivore (sometimes ketovore and occasionally animal-based).

Jeff C reacted to Scott F. in High uric acidKeep going. In the first month you are still adjusting. Increasing the proteins in your diet and removing the carbs probably moved you into ketosis.
Mine made a jump in the early months but fell back to normal. Then recently it pushed just outside the normal limit but I have been eating a lot of protein as of late.
I don't do organ meats and I make sure I hydrate throughout the day. When I eat normal amounts of protein and hydrate my number drops back.
Not sure if this helps but I have seen my uric number inch up and down over the last 18-19 months.
