I have a bit of pain in my right ankle at the moment which is deffo gout, picked up and took a big swig of my kids apple juice thinking it was my beer. Healthy eating is actually bad for me. <laugh>

You must have been really hammered to mistake a carton of apple juice for a beer.

No, it's a bit of a twat and changes from person to person. I struggled for years but now have good control of it. My main triggers are seafood, acidic fruit, cauliflower, asparagus and some other veg. Mainly healthy things. I suspect some darker beers so avoid them.

Cherries are regarded as a good thing for gout but if I eat them I'm laid up for a week they are probably the worst thing I can eat.

Yeah, now you've said it, I remember seeing something about fish and seafood being a big trigger. But what is unusual is that a Mediterranean diet is found to have a lower risk, and that is mainly based around fish and seafood. Maybe it's something in the method of cooking/preparation.

When you say darker beers, I was thinking more stronger alcohol content such as Belgium Beers.

The alcohol content doesn't seem to matter as I drink rum now and then and don't have any problems. I suspect it's not dark beers as long as they are naturally made and don't have artificial colours and caramels in them. I avoid just in case though.

Do you think it could be something to do with added phosphates?

Especially in shellfish and beer, whereas rum don't contain it.

I've seen some of this debate, so may have missed the answer, but isn't it mainly attributed to certain types of beer?

I think as @luvgonzo alludes to, there are different triggers for every sufferer.

In the old days it was considered a rich man’s ailment, brought on by consuming too much wine and port.

Well it used to be Marstons Pedigree but they ruined it by moving it from the Burton brewery to Banks brewery iirc.
Draught Bass well kept was top notch but hardly see it these days.
Wainwrights Golden ale is nice and with the added bonus of being quite low alcohol 4.10%
Tribute IPA.

Though these days i'm normally on red wine <laugh>

I used to love draft Bass, but it's the only drink that's ever gone straight through me <laugh>

Back when I was 14, and up to the age of 18, my regular tipple was Greenall's bitter, with the odd pint of Greenall's Festival Export ale thrown in. However, I went to university at Aston, and Ansells and M&B were just about undrinkable. That put me off bitter for life. I have the odd bottle of Low C (Resolution), which I quite enjoy. However, the bulk of the time, it's Carling <laugh>

I don't like the strong anti inflammatories, Diclofenac played **** with me for a number of years. Did have to try naproxen last time this flared up about three years ago but would rather not.

Am actually popping a couple of CBD oil tablets this time. May work, may not.

I couldn't have existed withour diclofenac before I had my knee replacements. Noting else worked, bar weed <ok>

Well if you kept drinking M&B i'm not (so) surprised you switched to Carling <laugh>
