That's the thing, personal triggers are different and it's often the
things they love the most. I wonder if your friend ate a lot of
salmon and crab? Lucky him if he can still eat scallops and prawns!
I mentioned experimenting to hubby and he didn't turn me down, but he
did say "It could be painful". Sharing a restaurant order with him is
probably the best idea. He does eat one scallop or prawn and so far,
so good. I should encourage him to try two next time.

Good luck finding the right balance, my friend also said it's very painful. I
don't know what he ate through the years, but I will ask just out of curiosity
next time I see him.

Skip the "personal trigger" stuff that you can read all about on the
net. The answer is allopurinol for him. For someone who has never had
gout, you have no idea how terribly painful and crippling it is. See
the doctor -> blood test -> allopurinol forever -> no more personal
triggers -> thankful.
Having already run the route, he can eat, drink and be merry with
allopurinol or try to dodge increasing varieties of triggers for the
rest of his life. There's a cure for the pain he feels. Allopurinol.
No offense meant from the guy just east of Donner, but please listen
for him.

It might be too early in the day (or they might be served
only for Sunday brunch), but there are four restaurants
in Ann Arbor that the folks on Yelp assure me offer chicken
and waffles. Trendy.

Yer ****ing into the wind, leo. sf will argue whether there is an
argument , or not.

Gout comes up, here, often. I've been down yer road and agree. I'll
prolly be on allupurinol fer the rest of my life and couldn't be
happier. Still, a doc should work you up. My rhuematologist spent 8
mos on my case (for which he no doubt got lotsa insurance $$$$).

Bottom line, haven't had an attack fer over 10 yrs.

Stop right there. He absolutely will NOT take it. He says he has to
take enough medications

Why should I argue? I'm not the one with gout. You're just a
crotchety old man who thinks everyone should fall into line with every
thought you have.

He hasn't had an attack for years either. You're undisciplined and
want it your way all the time, so you take pills. He's patient and
disciplined, so he has figured out how to do it without taking
allopurinol.

It must be a sweet and savory thing which is a good combo.
I used to like eating cinnamon buns with salty chips.

In addition to interaction with a list of 134 drugs:

Some less serious side effects of allopurinol may include:

Vomiting
Diarrhea
Drowsiness
Headache
Muscle pain
Changes in sense or taste

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking allopurinol, as it may make your
condition worse. Allopurinol may impair your thinking or reaction time,
so you should be especially careful when driving or performing any
activity that requires you to be alert.

Ed. Ed. Ed. Net searching will show you the debilitating side effects
of aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen and any other drug, and they are truly
horrifying for some people. The avoid drinking while taking allopurinol
side effect in not a issue for notbob or me, and I agree with him. But
only for us. You could die.
Since I only take two pills of different sorts daily and took no daily
pills at all until a year ago, my current drug interaction risk is low
and hopefully watched after by my doctor. Otherwise, what good is my
doctor who prescribed them?
