Beware! Niacin (Vitamin B3) and Gout!
Thanks to pjd3 for reminding me. Niacin, which is vitamin B3 is a Gout causer! Beware of this out there and read your labels. Niacin (vitamin B3) IS in everything, so please read your labels folks! The highest doses can be found in multivitamins (this very thing gave me gout) and breads & cereals (mostly processed) and can raise your uric acid thereby giving you Gout.
Foods Highest in Niacin (vitamin b3)
* Multivitamins (not always healthy, eh?)
* Breads and Cereals (processed mostly)
* Soy products (yup)
The list goes on, but those are the top 3 with the highest levels of niacin which can cause gout via raising your uric acid level and administering those God awful needle like crystals in your joints!

Gout without a doubt is a serious disease, my life partner is struggling with it for numerous months already. It is extremely difficult for me, seeing a beloved family member and friend experience pain attacks frequently. Sticking to a beneficial diet program for prophylaxis and making use of proper treatment is in my opinion vital. I advise everyone who is already noticing initial symptoms of hyperuricemia to by all means be alarmed. You should consult a doctor as soon as you can and correct your diet to prevent the outbreak of the disease. It is definitely no fun, really! Find good therapy options and stay away from purine rich food, wine and the like to take prophylactic measure!
