Overeating and Gout!

all-you-can-eat-chinese-buffetGeez, can’t even enjoy an “all you can eat” buffet with out triggering a nasty episode of our friend, Mr. gout!  Yes its true folks, overeating can trigger a gout attack, why?  Well because uric acid spikes when you have a full gut and as your kidneys try to keep up, they can’t, so thus comes the “needle like crystals” that get logged in your big toe joint and other surrounding areas.  Besides these buffet’s are riddled with gout no no’s like shellfish, red meat, and sugary desserts (its the high fructose corn syrup that is bad).  So really all that’s left is salad, and what fun is that?!

So this means no more “all you can eat” Chinese Super Buffet for me…   :(
