Hi, I started on keto a few month ago with the view of going carnivore. Everything I've read about it is positive and since I like meat, eggs and so on, I thought why not, I might get healthier an fitter in the process. A couple of weeks ago I got gout ( at least that is what I thought it was) in my big toe. I had to go for a bood test last week ( not for the Gout, I hadn't told my Dr. about that) and got the result today. Even before I could say anything, the Dr. asked me if I have Gout. She told me that my uric acid levels are twice a high as normal. I asked her what I might get that from, and she said the biggest triggers for that is red meat and alcohol, specifically beer. I'm not a drinker apart from an occasional glass of beer. So, that leaves red meat. Does anybody know anything about this or are there any people with similar experiences, and more importantly, is there anything I can do about it and still pursue a carnivore diet ? I would appreciate any useful comments. Doug
