captain_slinkyWebsite says "Stay away from all this stuff" (see previous post from me), then links to a page of tasty Gout-Friendly recipes where all but one recipe PROMINENTLY features forbidden ingredients!
The first one that struck me as odd was the "Updated Waldorf Salad" which features roasted nuts and dried fruit with leafy green vegetables (all three forbidden).
Then they went on to suggest a few sandwiches (no bread allowed) and a GREEN LEAFY DUCK SALAD!
They may as well have suggested a standing rib roast stuffed with chicken gizzards :(

Date: 2011-09-09 12:21 am (UTC)It all depends on where your gout is stemming from. There are many different causes of gout, and there are some common threads that affect them all so that's usually where your doctor will start... treating the symptoms instead of the cause (MODERN MEDICINE FTW)
I'm going in to a clinical trial for new Gout treatments... I hop I'm the type of guy then can use! Free doctor, free medicine AND compensation WOO!!!
