I'm 71, a 30 year gout sufferer. Doctors, Pharma, natural remedies, exercise and avoidance of high purine foods did not cure my gout. Went on keto diet and in 10 days my gout attack pain and swelling were gone. 5 months now and have switched from keto to highfat/low carb diet. Results are very good with no more gout symptoms, lower blood pressure and 12 pounds weight loss. Now enjoying all of those high purine foods but avoid SUGAR and keep carbs to less than 100 p/day.
I have to apologize to Dr. Boz. When I first started watching her videos, I was like "Oh god, boring science, I want a diet plan". Now I understand what she is saying and it is important to know your body.
Supplementing with potassium citrate solved my gout on my carnivore diet. I use NOW potassium citrate powder 1 teaspoon in 1L of water. I also add 1 teaspoon of Celtic seasalt to ensure enough sodium intake.
I had a kidney stone twenty years ago. The pain was horrible! I have been eating keto for the last three years lost 80 pounds...69 years old. I have been fine. Thank you so much for your information!!
I like to listen to you Dr Boz .... just not too long .... For a common person... The length like this one is perfect ..... Just enough to understand one point to another ... Thx Doc .... Expecting to see u have more VDO thx. !
The cure for kidney stones is the asparagus and coke treatment. I've used it quite a few times since having to have surgery to remove my first stone in 2012. Simply purchase a bundle of asparagus and a 6 pack of real coca cola. For whatever reason, it needs to be coca cola, not a different brand, not diet, etc. just real coke. Steam and then puree the asparagus, and add what you want to make it taste good.....you're basically making soup that's about the consistency of split pea. Immediately consume all the asparagus, and then follow that with all of the coca cola. You will notice that the pain in your lower back improves right away. You will start peeing, and peeing, and peeing. The combination of the 2 products will dissolve the stones enough that you will pass them painlessly over the next few days or weeks. My suggestion is to do the treatment once a day (which is what I do) for 2 or 3, or even 4 days, and then see what happens. It works 100%. You'll know when you've peed out a stone, or stones, because suddenly the pain will be different, or gone completely. I just had to go through this 3 months ago. Day after day, the aching and stiffness in my lower back began getting worse following a 13mi very hilly trail run. I knew I'd probably dislodged a stone. I wound up doing the treatment 3 or maybe 4 days in a row. Within day 1 of treatment, I started peeing out small black hunks about the size and shape of a flea on a dog. I kept doing the treatments because, while the pain in my back was improving, it wasn't really going away. About 2 weeks later, I peed out an actual stone, painlessly, that was about 3mm in diameter, and smooth. I'm prone to stones and gout because I simply don't drink enough water. I also eat a lot of fruit.....so as Dr. Bosworth states, there's the sugar/insulin connection. I'm 57, very fit/athletic, and an avid long distance runner and mountain biker (vids on my channel), and eat mostly raw, fresh produce, no grains or corn, and no dairy. So I don't need to be in ketosis or to be "dieting" to loose fat. I just need to drink a lot more water and keep my salt and fruit sugar intake lower.
SOOO glad to find your channel!!! BTW...once had to wait 5 days to have a stone busted up ...painful wait until l drank some ACV mixed in pickled beet juice from my own canning...pain quit in a NY minute!!! Nurse said l may have dulled the sharp edges on the crystal...😌ahhh! U are so wise to call it crystals👌
This was the best video that has helped me understand Why I have Gout on the Keto diet. I started June 1st and got my first Gout attack six weeks later. Then I just got my 2nd one week ago.. They have been extremely painful! I had never had gout before and was starting to think this diet may not be for me. Which it seems everyone is telling me. Now I feel confident to stay on Keto. Thank you Dr Bosworth for breaking it down and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I never had the symptoms of gout, but 4 weeks in and whammo myb1st gout attack. Kind of scary. 42 year old male. I’m going to stick to the diet, had considered leaving

Dr. Boz I wanted to say thank you for this video. I have been hesitant with Keto for years and have been stagnant in any weight loss for years. I only found out three years ago that I had gout after my first flare up post gorging at a Brazilian steak house buffet. I've never had a flare up since. Mostly because I learned about uric acid and what triggers it. I devoloped a habit of drinking a minumum of 12oz of low sodium V8 everyday to help with my vegetable intake and lower the backlash for the sodium rich foods I consumed. The keto way of eating has always disagreed with me since learning I had gout. Just like I figured out a build up of uric acid causes gout and started the low sodium v8 routine. I have now figured out what vegetables are okay with keto and how to avoid the keto flu. 180mg of broccoli for example is more vitamin c than an orange. I remember that and often have some broccoli in the morning and after the gym. Cucumbers, celery and Kale are my go to with my meal preps. I bake white, grilled chicken tenderloins, cut them into square pieces and use them as a source satity to not make the kale so light. I've learned to use yogurt based ranches and am careful with sauces in general because of the sugar and carbs in those bottles. I have learned to portion size my fat through healthy fats rather than bacon, bacon greas, red meat, loads of cheese and butter. I use olive oil for example and see that the bottle says 14 grams of fat per teaspoon. I'll actually use a teaspoon and depending on my cardio that day I decide how much to use. I mix it up and have boiled eggs around, a lot of avocados and learn the habit of portion control and proper hydration. I put lemon in my water most of the day. I keep a 64oz water bottle filled and by my bed always. Do my best to drink half of it when I wake up. I remember the importance of intermittent fasting. Know the time I ate last so I can count the hours and what's the best intermitten time frame for me. Most importantly, I gained the confidence to do all of this by remembering what you said. "If you're going to do Keto do it for a long time. The year, stick with it." Not those words exactly, but it helped me more than you know. Thank you, truly!
Very informative! I am not going on a Keto diet, but I do have gout, and I have been eating the SAD diet for a very long time. My diet will be more plant based, but so much of this information will apply equally! Plus I need to drink more water no matter what!
Great video as always, thank you! I would like to add that Rutin supplementation will stop gout flare ups. My husband suffered for years with gout before taking Rutin supplements, he started with 2 a day and once the gout was under control went down to 1 a day, also it helped a great deal with his hemorrhoids.
I have been inundated with kidney stones and 6 attacks of gout since December, 2017. My body was producing so much of this I just passed a 6mm stone over the last two weeks. I was on a Keto diet BUT did not stay in ketosis and went back and forth over the keto fence. This explains so much of what I was doing wrong. I was not consistent and it seems that is what has caused all this pain and suffering. I though it was because I was on the Keto diet, however, my inconsistencies cause me to form all this mess. Thank you for your video!
Thank you for this information. A few months ago I had the symptoms of gout. I had been on a Ketogenic diet for about 5 months. I guess I had started breaking those crystals down in my right big toe. When I finally was able to get in to my doctor the symptoms had subsided. He tested my blood and he said I didn't have gout and doubted what I did naturally with sour cherry juice did not cure my problem. Thank you for your videos. I am learning a lot about medical issues. Also, I just found out from my eye doctor that I am very dehydrated and it was causing me to have large red blood areas on my eye ball (I know there is a medial term but I can't think of it right now). I started guzzling down water and in a week all was well and also I could tell a huge difference in other areas of my health. Lots of water for now on.
I have not had any gout attacks since I started taking 2,000mg of Vitamin C and 20mg of Lithium Orotate daily. Also, if I feel a gout attack coming on, I drink fresh celery juice. I've had gout for years and tried every potion and pill available...
This was terrific! first time with gout... even being off/on Keto for the last 3 years I never had an issue... this time I really pushed myself within 3 weeks of going into Ketosis... the idea that this pain is the crystals leaving is something I'd not considered! I drink a gallon of water a day so with any luck this will be over soon!
One of the best remedies for making kidney stones less painful is an item that is NOT ketogenic. And that is cola. It contains phosphoric acid which dissolves the sharp edges of the crystals which makes them less painful to pass. I have had 4 kidney stones in the last 12 years and this helped.
I have had a history of kidney stones causing me to get kidney infections but when it all started my doctor told me that the stones were small enough to pass and I have never had any issues with pain related to passing stones so I never knew if I was passing them or not, but still getting kidney infections sometimes. I started a Keto diet about a month ago as well as intermittent fasting. I used to always eat only two meals a day but I was a grazer so I would snack in between. When I started my diet, first thing I did was a water fast between meals & once a week I OMAD. Then a couple of weeks into it I tried OMAD every day & soon into that my sides started to hurt & it got worse, radiating into my groin, until I almost went into the ER but because I had watched this video I assumed the diet was causing my kidney stones to dislodge & so I was possibly passing them. After 2 days of excruciating pain ( almost like labor pains) it stopped. I had no signs of the kidneys stones in my urine or blood or anything but the pain was gone. Now I still have a dull pain in the areas of my kidneys but I just remember to drink a lot of water & it never gets worse than that. I don’t know if I should have my kidneys checked or continue what I am doing & hope that I might have passed the small stones I had. My mother thinks it was my diet that produced more stones. That is possible, but I am pretty sure this diet is cleansing my body of the existing stones.
8 months carnivore now, to fight breast cancer (Tippens protocol), am 88 and just got gout for the first time in my life. Embarked on two-day water fast now. No more chicken livers, which I had recently added to my OMAD (beef, bison, eggs, bacon, heavy whipping cream - in one cup of decaf daily) and red bell pepper (low oxalate and alkaline). Maybe twice a week hard raw milk cheese (Compté). Once a week anti-cancer broccoli (more would trigger my MTHFR variant). Disheartened but youtubing my way out of this nightmare, I hope. 5'2", 89 lbs (after carnivore dropped me from my normal 105 lbs. in three short months. We are each of us, so different.🤔🙄🤪💖
Very well Dr Bos. Very elucidative this video of yours. I am facing another gout flare attack on my two big toes for the thirth time... OMG. . . I am in Ketosis since 4 month. . . OMG.... I shall be on this track for sure but. . . OMG. Thank you so much for this information. . .Being hydrated.
Carlos Camacho I drink minimum 64 oz of lemon water a day and take potassium citrate daily. Never had kidney stones or gout my entire life. Went on keto 4 months ago and have suffered with both. Did I lose weight? Yes, 30 pounds. But I’ve also been to the ER 3 different times.
@@alfredvincent13825 Thank you for your time. I also suplement with Magnezion citrate and potassium citrate. Not drinking lemon with water so often but from time to time so, I will improve it. Cheers.
Interesting take. I have been diagnosed with gout for 34 years and controlled it with diet, exercise, and fluids. I am low insulin resistance, eat no sugar and exercise daily. I eat one meal a day with low carbs and practice intermittent fasting. Recently I did a 3 days fast. The day after I have gout.
As a person who has both had kidney stones, and gout, and been on the keto diet for just a couple of months, I really appreciated this video. I actually thought that I'd be experiencing more gout on Keto due to the amounts of red meat I might be eating (although in actuality, I'm probably eating a lot less per day due to managing my calories, etc.). I'll still be aware of that, but it's good to know that Keto is more likely to help reverse any crystalization, even if at some point I'll suffer some attacks while the crystals break away. Also, my doctor never once told me that hydration was important in preventing gout. In the past (this has changed a lot in the last year) I would really go long periods without drinking enough, and that likely was as much of a cause as anything.
Hi Dr. Boz, for me it would be interesting if there is some scientific literature that keto has a favorable effect on uric acid cristallisation in kidney and joints. I could only find data in epileptic children who are on long term keto which showed a slightly higher incidence on kidney stones. Thank you
Thank You for this, After 2 months on keto I had a mild gout attack meaning it hurt but only one foot and I could still walk (no shoe)And drive to pharmacy, not like the first time when i barely walked on my heels couldn't even touch my toe.
Does lemon juice prevent kidney stones ? I drink two 16 ounces glasses of distilled water each day, plus coffee & tea etc. in that water I add a 'healthy splash' of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and diet cran-cherry juice. I often toss in a cinnamon stick too. Any way, I've heard drinking a little lemon juice daily prevents kidney stones.
I was overweight with GOUT, migraines and right side pain (gal bladder stones?) The ketogenic diet healed me. Down 70 pounds and all that inflammation and pain gone within 6 months. I've known people to do KETO wrong and eat too much fat. Bacon and sausage every day and get stuck after a few weeks of weight loss.. You can get plenty of good fats from other sources like raw nuts, eggs, coconut and MCT oils, butter, lard, avacados and beef with a little fat on it. So educate yourself with these channels because you only got one life. Take responsibility for your own health and spread this channel and other real doctors that actually heal and cure people with the KETO or natural way of eating, the way were intended to eat.
Spinach , okra , kale , potatoes ect have oxalates that any calcium oxalate kidney stone grower should stay away from . I hope the keto lifestyle keeps me from growing any more . God bless you I love your information. And your 100% correct drink, drink, drink water .
Was on few carbs for about 4 months and had a 6mm stone get stuck. Due to other problems, had to have a stent installed. There was also a 12mm stone farther up, so - those were taken care of a week later. My urologist said to add lemon to my hydrating water. I've read that citrates, including citric acid ( as in lemon juice ) prevent formation of calcium oxalate stones...I've also read that hydroxycitrate - formerly used in diet pills can dissolve existing stones as well. The data on that last was very sparse, though a large company in the "litho" business seemed to take an interest in it. What is your opinion on these? Thanks.
Hello Dr. Boz thank you SO much for the info and I just purchased your book luv it👍 I had to go the hospital they said I had a kidney stone I’ve been in ketosis almost 5 mmonths peeing keytones and checking almost every day. The thing is I still have severe burning constant urge to go in frequent urination so I can’t seem to stay hydrated? Do you have any advice as far as why the urinary tract still burns and if that is a condition I will have to deal with in ketosis? Any help would be great! Rebecca.
What happens if we get dehydrated because of pharmaceutical drugs for blood pressure such as chlonidine, losartan, etc.? Chlonidine gives me severe dry mouth and seems to have made my gallstones and kidney stones worse. I'm tired of seeing many M.D.s, only for them to throw more drugs at me, which solves nothing, making my condition worse. Very frustrating to see doctor after doctor, whom does not tackle the root problem, but mask symptoms.
Hmmm..🤔. Then I’m guessing dry fasting isn’t good? What would you say to the millions of people who dry fast successfully, sometimes for three days at a time for years, and swear by it? Thanks.
What is leto deit please let me know..i have kidney stone in my left 3 stone and in a right kidney 1 stone all stone size of 4 mm pleat let me know what i have to do i am gett tait from medicen i took 2 year continue medicen but i have still same size of kidney stone
Suffered from both kidney stones and gout. I was very careful at the beginning to get most of my fat from things like pecans and macadamia nuts versus meat and cheese. When I did get that little tingle in my toe joint I fasted for 24 to 36 hours, staying hydrated, and it passed each time but my anti-inflammatories were always close by.
Nuts have oxalates.. dont trust main stream doctors. Animal based proteins are good and wont harm kidneys like they try to tell you. I have a history of kidney stones. Im on the carnivore diet and i promise it works
Nice video, i used to be on ketosis, i lost 50lb in 5 months. After that i quit and started and quit again, . Now, i have gout, on my right thumb and toe, really painful,. Keto diet uses bacon, red fatty meat, pork, sausage, avocado etc, all this raises uric acid on your body in big amounts, so, how is it safe to be on ketosis when you have gout?my doctor just told me to quit fats and meats. Please help me, i really want to go back to keto, im just scared to do it and get my condition even worse.
As a personal trainer I emphasize the absolute necessity for proper hydration, usually stressing this need by pointing out the body is approx. 60% water. An odd question comes up now and then, as to whether too much water can be bad for you? I tell these folk not to worry, as the average person has little or no chance of over hydrating - this isn't water-boarding we're talking about. lol
@Little pig yea the atheletes would drink water, and didn't know they were drinking too much so they started feeling bad. Unfortunately they thought they felt bad because they weren't drinking enough so kept drinking- that's how they died. Most people won't run into that problem especially if they are aware of it, the electrolytes part is something to look out for though.
@Little pig "Since then people drop death during these sport events without any explanation" its called doping. athletes do some really questionable stuff to get an edge in this day and age.
I used to get really bad gout... since eating in a keto fashion *most* of the time, I really don't get gout at all. Maybe once a year, maybe... and nowhere near as bad.
I'm with pkmessick, I've been searching for answers as to why I suddenly have kidney stones on the Keto diet! My only concern is limiting my sodium intake and wonder if I can stay on the diet without feeling too fatigued. Since starting keto I now have kidney stones and thrush! The limitations on the Keto diet is enough already, but when you have two other diet protocols to follow for the kidney stones and thrush is ridiculous! Lol! Thank you Dr Boz for taking the time to explain all of this in layman terms!
don't limit your salt intake. it's hard to be hydrated when you're low in sodium and when you drink lots of water you flush out minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. you don't need to go crazy with salt but don't be afraid of it. and take potassium/magnesium citrate supplements--they help restore minerals you're losing. and low citrate levels ==> kidney stones which is why some folks take lemon juice.
Dr. when I’m fasting is it necessary for me to continue to consume MCT. Currently I Eat one meal a day and then I fast for 23 hours before I have another meal. However each morning I put one or 2 tablespoons of MCT in my coffee. Please advise. Thank you, Pete
I have sponge kidneys sooo I just make stones it’s tough must drink water with lemon avoid all kinds of foods and low salt. Had so many surgeries that one kidney is now only 35%. I Am pre diabetic too.
I am hoping the keto diet will keep my gout from coming back. The only thing I have used that really helps and prevents gout is milk and dairy. With milk I haven't had a flair up in a few years. Right now after a mostly keto diet, and cutting back on milk, I still have not had any gout problems. I can do without milk. Spent years going without milk. But when something works to keep that gout away...you use it.
I've been on Wheat Belly a few years. Really helped with my gout. Bacteria processed cheeses and high fat yogurt are great, avoid the milk due to sugars.
thanks for the video. I started keto several months ago and 2 weeks in had to go to the er. it turned out i was passing a stone. I stopped keto just to be sure it wasn't that that caused it. now they tell me that i have another size 3 stone and I thought started keto again today. After a urine test they do told them im extremely acidic. I'm beginning to wonder if starting keto was a bad idea. not sure what to think. does keto cause this? No matter what I do I can't seem to get alkaline urine. can't take the large amounts of citric acidic because it doesn't go well with my blood pressure med. other than that I'm healthy. Does this mean keto isn't good for me and if not, what's a good diet?
Speaking of stones Dr Boz you should have Sally K Norton on your show about oxalates especially with the Keto using cups of almond flour or spinach salads......a lot of the “allowable” keto foods are awful for oxalate toxin.
@@DoctorBoz btw I’ve been trying to do the keto continuum and lower oxalate diet at the same time! Good book reviews coming soon! Sorry for it being late!
Oh my gosh!!!! Seeing this video is so life changing for me. I thought I could not do keto because I have had kidney stones in the past. I was told I have another one in there but that was well over 10 years ago and I have not felt it pass. I always do better on low carb diets in the past but stopped due to thinking I would make more kidney stones. Thank you for your videos!!!!!
Sandy Gilbert do Braggs ACV/lemons water. 2 tbsp acv. Whole small lemon or half a large lemon juices. That shd help rid kidney stones and restore ur pH.
I ended up with gout so I can only speak about that. My stepmother suffers from it so after I initially I thought 'arthritis' because of waking up with pain in joints (my hand), I quickly realized it was not only painful & swollen, but the affected area was RED, just like her hand. I found taking lemon juice in water helped me. I also added acv to the mix. My symptoms improved within 24 hours. Not sure if that's normal and to be expected for all since I only suffered for around half a day before "treating". My first experience was with my hand; subsequent flare-ups have been with my big toe(s). Now if I can only figure out how to completely avoid more flare-ups... I'm guessing I don't hydrate enough. I like my coffee :)
"Make sure you stay hydrated"- what does a person on fluid restriction because of 'borderline heart failure" do about this? It concerns me greatly that unless I stay (on doctor's orders) at 1200ml or less of fluids per day, I gradually fill up with fluid in the legs and lungs, and have had to be admitted to hospital several times now because I could no longer breathe effectively. Yet I' well aware that water is essential for so much functioning of the body. I would much appreciate your helpful comments. Our normal diet has always consisted of lots of vegies - especially silver beet from our garden, small amounts of meat and a reasonable amount of grainy bread.
The ketogenic diet that doc is talking about requires NOT eating breads, potatoes, rice, cereals, sugary stuff. You get your carbs mostly from leafy green veggies, small amounts of berries and other veggies like cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus, etc. There are some carbs in things like nuts/seeds, etc. The protein and fat keep you feeling fuller longer. No sugar/low carb allows you to use ketones for energy. If you have any weight to lose, it will allow you to tap into your fat stores for energy. To lose weight keep your net carbs at 20 grams or so. To maintain weight, increase good carbs slightly. If you gain weight, cut back carbs; if you lose weight, increase carbs. 😊 Keeping glucose and insulin low is healthy and that's what doc is saying. Go into ketosis and stay there, not hop in and out. (As was my mistake and got gout for it. It HURTS) Best of luck!
I have a friend who has had gastric surgery called a duodenal switch. She doesn't absorb nutrients well and is now struggling with kidney stones, she is following a low-carb diet, not Keto. I'm thinking this may have ignited her recent bout of passing a series of kidney stones. Eek. The gastric surgery saved her life, but it has certainly complicated it.
How do you recommend for people with gallbladder issues going on Keto? I was told my gallbladder is full of sand and contracted upon itself, so it's unlikely to cause a problem. I am now starting the Wahls Protocol level three, which is more or less keto with a lot of vegetables. I'm concerned that the increase in fat might cause my gallbladder to start rumbling. The last thing I want is to end up having to have it removed.
But what's the relationship between sugar and insulin and the formation of kidney stones ? Can someone explain the mechanism ? Because all I have read concerning the development of kidney stones is excess solutes like oxalate , phosphates, etc .. because of excess intake of meat products( purines) which result in uric acid stones and phosphate stones ? Not even once was sugar or insulin mentioned ! The info is too conflicting can someone help clear the confusion?
I had extremly high uric acid levels during ketosis and they found a 3 and 6 mm stone in my kidney so I'm not sure if it's from the diet or my excess drinking of fruit juice 4 months before.
I've been bad, I cheated with Goat milk off and on, Then the 2lb bag of blueberries went missing in one night. lol I am now one month in and my kidneys don't hurt if I tap on my back but I still feel pains off and on ,not really bad but it will stab my side and then go away. Took coffee out and starting drinking more water. Little pink salt and waiting. Just might take a little Mag too, It's been 3 days after golden corral.
Dr Boz, I have been on LCHF/Keto for 6 months, lost 50+ lbs have a history of gout and am currently getting flare-up (however no swelling or redness) and this lines up with idea that crystal might be moving out, however I have not been able to find corroborating information on this idea. Can you point to some. Thank you for your vids!

I'm 71, a 30 year gout sufferer. Doctors, Pharma, natural remedies, exercise and avoidance of high purine foods did not cure my gout.
Went on keto diet and in 10 days my gout attack pain and swelling were gone.
5 months now and have switched from keto to highfat/low carb diet.
Results are very good with no more gout symptoms, lower blood pressure and 12 pounds weight loss.
Now enjoying all of those high purine foods but avoid SUGAR and keep carbs to less than 100 p/day.
You are an angel from heaven Dr.Boz. Much love and appreciation. Thank you!
I have to apologize to Dr. Boz. When I first started watching her videos, I was like "Oh god, boring science, I want a diet plan". Now I understand what she is saying and it is important to know your body.
Supplementing with potassium citrate solved my gout on my carnivore diet. I use NOW potassium citrate powder 1 teaspoon in 1L of water. I also add 1 teaspoon of Celtic seasalt to ensure enough sodium intake.
Thank you for the information, I was getting confused with people disparaging keto because of possible gout flare ups.
I had a kidney stone twenty years ago. The pain was horrible! I have been eating keto for the last three years lost 80 pounds...69 years old. I have been fine. Thank you so much for your information!!
Found you when I passed a 0.3x0.3 kidney stone (ouch) after 4 months of ketosis. This sure made my day.
The pain is like nothing else on earth hey,
Two years into keto diet. 77 lbs down and great improvement in my arthritis. I'm sold! Great video,thank you.
Great video Doc!
This is a God-sent information... its very valuable! Thanks Dr. Bosworrh!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like to listen to you Dr Boz .... just not too long .... For a common person...
The length like this one is perfect ..... Just enough to understand one point to another ... Thx Doc .... Expecting to see u have more VDO thx. !
I've had 6 stones and 1 while pregnant. I was never taught why and what to do about it. Thank you!!
The cure for kidney stones is the asparagus and coke treatment. I've used it quite a few times since having to have surgery to remove my first stone in 2012. Simply purchase a bundle of asparagus and a 6 pack of real coca cola. For whatever reason, it needs to be coca cola, not a different brand, not diet, etc. just real coke. Steam and then puree the asparagus, and add what you want to make it taste good.....you're basically making soup that's about the consistency of split pea. Immediately consume all the asparagus, and then follow that with all of the coca cola. You will notice that the pain in your lower back improves right away. You will start peeing, and peeing, and peeing. The combination of the 2 products will dissolve the stones enough that you will pass them painlessly over the next few days or weeks. My suggestion is to do the treatment once a day (which is what I do) for 2 or 3, or even 4 days, and then see what happens. It works 100%. You'll know when you've peed out a stone, or stones, because suddenly the pain will be different, or gone completely.
I just had to go through this 3 months ago. Day after day, the aching and stiffness in my lower back began getting worse following a 13mi very hilly trail run. I knew I'd probably dislodged a stone. I wound up doing the treatment 3 or maybe 4 days in a row. Within day 1 of treatment, I started peeing out small black hunks about the size and shape of a flea on a dog. I kept doing the treatments because, while the pain in my back was improving, it wasn't really going away. About 2 weeks later, I peed out an actual stone, painlessly, that was about 3mm in diameter, and smooth.
I'm prone to stones and gout because I simply don't drink enough water. I also eat a lot of fruit.....so as Dr. Bosworth states, there's the sugar/insulin connection. I'm 57, very fit/athletic, and an avid long distance runner and mountain biker (vids on my channel), and eat mostly raw, fresh produce, no grains or corn, and no dairy. So I don't need to be in ketosis or to be "dieting" to loose fat. I just need to drink a lot more water and keep my salt and fruit sugar intake lower.
SOOO glad to find your channel!!!
BTW...once had to wait 5 days to have a stone busted up ...painful wait until l drank some ACV mixed in pickled beet juice from my own canning...pain quit in a NY minute!!! Nurse said l may have dulled the sharp edges on the crystal...😌ahhh!
U are so wise to call it crystals👌
This was the best video that has helped me understand Why I have Gout on the Keto diet. I started June 1st and got my first Gout attack six weeks later. Then I just got my 2nd one week ago.. They have been extremely painful! I had never had gout before and was starting to think this diet may not be for me. Which it seems everyone is telling me. Now I feel confident to stay on Keto. Thank you Dr Bosworth for breaking it down and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
pkmessick 👍
Dr. Boz [Annette Bosworth, MD] so is my in and out of keto causing this gout symptoms?
I never had the symptoms of gout, but 4 weeks in and whammo myb1st gout attack. Kind of scary. 42 year old male. I’m going to stick to the diet, had considered leaving
How are you feeling now 3 months later?
@@josephantony2834 "20% carbs + 80% protein" is not a keto diet, and 80% protein will definitely give you gout.
The human body is an amazing machine...! Way to complex to be a random act of the evolutionary process! Thank you for sharing Dr.
Evolution isn’t random. It is true versus idea things magically appeared out of nowhere. That’s just insane. Bottom Up Universe. Simplicity to complexity. Evolution and God are compatible. Evolution can be a creation process. Diversity of Life is from common descent. All life is connected.
Go back to school, ffs...
Dr. Boz I wanted to say thank you for this video. I have been hesitant with Keto for years and have been stagnant in any weight loss for years. I only found out three years ago that I had gout after my first flare up post gorging at a Brazilian steak house buffet. I've never had a flare up since. Mostly because I learned about uric acid and what triggers it. I devoloped a habit of drinking a minumum of 12oz of low sodium V8 everyday to help with my vegetable intake and lower the backlash for the sodium rich foods I consumed. The keto way of eating has always disagreed with me since learning I had gout. Just like I figured out a build up of uric acid causes gout and started the low sodium v8 routine. I have now figured out what vegetables are okay with keto and how to avoid the keto flu. 180mg of broccoli for example is more vitamin c than an orange. I remember that and often have some broccoli in the morning and after the gym. Cucumbers, celery and Kale are my go to with my meal preps. I bake white, grilled chicken tenderloins, cut them into square pieces and use them as a source satity to not make the kale so light. I've learned to use yogurt based ranches and am careful with sauces in general because of the sugar and carbs in those bottles. I have learned to portion size my fat through healthy fats rather than bacon, bacon greas, red meat, loads of cheese and butter. I use olive oil for example and see that the bottle says 14 grams of fat per teaspoon. I'll actually use a teaspoon and depending on my cardio that day I decide how much to use. I mix it up and have boiled eggs around, a lot of avocados and learn the habit of portion control and proper hydration. I put lemon in my water most of the day. I keep a 64oz water bottle filled and by my bed always. Do my best to drink half of it when I wake up. I remember the importance of intermittent fasting. Know the time I ate last so I can count the hours and what's the best intermitten time frame for me. Most importantly, I gained the confidence to do all of this by remembering what you said. "If you're going to do Keto do it for a long time. The year, stick with it." Not those words exactly, but it helped me more than you know. Thank you, truly!
Very informative! I am not going on a Keto diet, but I do have gout, and I have been eating the SAD diet for a very long time. My diet will be more plant based, but so much of this information will apply equally! Plus I need to drink more water no matter what!
Great video as always, thank you! I would like to add that Rutin supplementation will stop gout flare ups. My husband suffered for years with gout before taking Rutin supplements, he started with 2 a day and once the gout was under control went down to 1 a day, also it helped a great deal with his hemorrhoids.
I am on keto and have very low insulin levels, I have now developed both gout and kidney stones.
thanx dr boz ketogenic diet 9 mos. lost 100 lbs, now i know to stay the course vis a vis gout.
Love your explanation
I have been inundated with kidney stones and 6 attacks of gout since December, 2017. My body was producing so much of this I just passed a 6mm stone over the last two weeks. I was on a Keto diet BUT did not stay in ketosis and went back and forth over the keto fence. This explains so much of what I was doing wrong. I was not consistent and it seems that is what has caused all this pain and suffering. I though it was because I was on the Keto diet, however, my inconsistencies cause me to form all this mess. Thank you for your video!
Paper Ink And More So glad it was hopeful. Smoother times ahead .. #peeAketone
So you fasted for more than three days? Just trying to find out because I'm pre-gout and I don't want to activate it, thanks.
Boron I heard eliminates gout and arthritis. I truly attest to arthritis symptoms going away as well as Costo condritis. It’s a whole new world!
Subscribed. I have learned so much from these videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr.Boz. You should be teaching other doctors. Most of whom mislead their patients.🙏👍
Thank you for this information. A few months ago I had the symptoms of gout. I had been on a Ketogenic diet for about 5 months. I guess I had started breaking those crystals down in my right big toe. When I finally was able to get in to my doctor the symptoms had subsided. He tested my blood and he said I didn't have gout and doubted what I did naturally with sour cherry juice did not cure my problem. Thank you for your videos. I am learning a lot about medical issues. Also, I just found out from my eye doctor that I am very dehydrated and it was causing me to have large red blood areas on my eye ball (I know there is a medial term but I can't think of it right now). I started guzzling down water and in a week all was well and also I could tell a huge difference in other areas of my health. Lots of water for now on.
I have not had any gout attacks since I started taking 2,000mg of Vitamin C and 20mg of Lithium Orotate daily. Also, if I feel a gout attack coming on, I drink fresh celery juice. I've had gout for years and tried every potion and pill available...
This was terrific! first time with gout... even being off/on Keto for the last 3 years I never had an issue... this time I really pushed myself within 3 weeks of going into Ketosis... the idea that this pain is the crystals leaving is something I'd not considered! I drink a gallon of water a day so with any luck this will be over soon!
Very useful stuff, Dr. Boz, thanks.
I've just realised by binge-watching your videos that what I probably have had for 2+ years on my finger joint is probably gout!
One of the best remedies for making kidney stones less painful is an item that is NOT ketogenic. And that is cola. It contains phosphoric acid which dissolves the sharp edges of the crystals which makes them less painful to pass. I have had 4 kidney stones in the last 12 years and this helped.

Thank you for sharing this information, I needed to hear this
I also add phosphorus to my diet. Great description
Gout is just one of the many reasons I started this low carb adventure and for every one that reads this . She is 100 percent right.
You rock Doc! Explained so that even a dope like me understands!😁
I have had a history of kidney stones causing me to get kidney infections but when it all started my doctor told me that the stones were small enough to pass and I have never had any issues with pain related to passing stones so I never knew if I was passing them or not, but still getting kidney infections sometimes. I started a Keto diet about a month ago as well as intermittent fasting. I used to always eat only two meals a day but I was a grazer so I would snack in between. When I started my diet, first thing I did was a water fast between meals & once a week I OMAD. Then a couple of weeks into it I tried OMAD every day & soon into that my sides started to hurt & it got worse, radiating into my groin, until I almost went into the ER but because I had watched this video I assumed the diet was causing my kidney stones to dislodge & so I was possibly passing them. After 2 days of excruciating pain ( almost like labor pains) it stopped. I had no signs of the kidneys stones in my urine or blood or anything but the pain was gone. Now I still have a dull pain in the areas of my kidneys but I just remember to drink a lot of water & it never gets worse than that. I don’t know if I should have my kidneys checked or continue what I am doing & hope that I might have passed the small stones I had. My mother thinks it was my diet that produced more stones. That is possible, but I am pretty sure this diet is cleansing my body of the existing stones.

8 months carnivore now, to fight breast cancer (Tippens protocol), am 88 and just got gout for the first time in my life. Embarked on two-day water fast now. No more chicken livers, which I had recently added to my OMAD (beef, bison, eggs, bacon, heavy whipping cream - in one cup of decaf daily) and red bell pepper (low oxalate and alkaline). Maybe twice a week hard raw milk cheese (Compté). Once a week anti-cancer broccoli (more would trigger my MTHFR variant). Disheartened but youtubing my way out of this nightmare, I hope. 5'2", 89 lbs (after carnivore dropped me from my normal 105 lbs. in three short months. We are each of us, so different.🤔🙄🤪💖
Very well Dr Bos. Very elucidative this video of yours. I am facing another gout flare attack on my two big toes for the thirth time... OMG. . . I am in Ketosis since 4 month. . . OMG.... I shall be on this track for sure but. . . OMG. Thank you so much for this information. . .Being hydrated.
Carlos Camacho I drink minimum 64 oz of lemon water a day and take potassium citrate daily. Never had kidney stones or gout my entire life. Went on keto 4 months ago and have suffered with both. Did I lose weight? Yes, 30 pounds. But I’ve also been to the ER 3 different times.
@@alfredvincent13825 Thank you for your time. I also suplement with Magnezion citrate and potassium citrate. Not drinking lemon with water so often but from time to time so, I will improve it. Cheers.
What a great vid thanks
Monica -Thanks
Interesting take. I have been diagnosed with gout for 34 years and controlled it with diet, exercise, and fluids. I am low insulin resistance, eat no sugar and exercise daily. I eat one meal a day with low carbs and practice intermittent fasting. Recently I did a 3 days fast. The day after I have gout.
On day 5 of water fast with a history of gout. This helps. Thank you.
Did your fast help?
As a person who has both had kidney stones, and gout, and been on the keto diet for just a couple of months, I really appreciated this video. I actually thought that I'd be experiencing more gout on Keto due to the amounts of red meat I might be eating (although in actuality, I'm probably eating a lot less per day due to managing my calories, etc.). I'll still be aware of that, but it's good to know that Keto is more likely to help reverse any crystalization, even if at some point I'll suffer some attacks while the crystals break away. Also, my doctor never once told me that hydration was important in preventing gout. In the past (this has changed a lot in the last year) I would really go long periods without drinking enough, and that likely was as much of a cause as anything.
Could you comment on what has happened since?
Great information, I learn a ton at this site.
Hi Dr. Boz, for me it would be interesting if there is some scientific literature that keto has a favorable effect on uric acid cristallisation in kidney and joints. I could only find data in epileptic children who are on long term keto which showed a slightly higher incidence on kidney stones. Thank you
Great info.
Everytime I started keto I find a niggle on my right toe. This explains why. Still it concerns me about long time susceptibility.
Thank You for this, After 2 months on keto I had a mild gout attack meaning it hurt but only one foot and I could still walk (no shoe)And drive to pharmacy, not like the first time when i barely walked on my heels couldn't even touch my toe.

Awesome video. I have kidney stones in the past. So friggin' painful.
i like Doc's sense of humour
Does lemon juice prevent kidney stones ? I drink two 16 ounces glasses of distilled water each day, plus coffee & tea etc. in that water I add a 'healthy splash' of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and diet cran-cherry juice. I often toss in a cinnamon stick too. Any way, I've heard drinking a little lemon juice daily prevents kidney stones.
What about a video on suppliments?!
Thank you!
I was overweight with GOUT, migraines and right side pain (gal bladder stones?) The ketogenic diet healed me. Down 70 pounds and all that inflammation and pain gone within 6 months. I've known people to do KETO wrong and eat too much fat. Bacon and sausage every day and get stuck after a few weeks of weight loss.. You can get plenty of good fats from other sources like raw nuts, eggs, coconut and MCT oils, butter, lard, avacados and beef with a little fat on it. So educate yourself with these channels because you only got one life. Take responsibility for your own health and spread this channel and other real doctors that actually heal and cure people with the KETO or natural way of eating, the way were intended to eat.
Spinach , okra , kale , potatoes ect have oxalates that any calcium oxalate kidney stone grower should stay away from . I hope the keto lifestyle keeps me from growing any more . God bless you I love your information. And your 100% correct drink, drink, drink water .
Thanks for sharing this information with us.
You are not only smart and informative. You are absolutely
beautiful.
Was on few carbs for about 4 months and had a 6mm stone get stuck. Due to other problems, had to have a stent installed. There was also a 12mm stone farther up, so - those were taken care of a week later. My urologist said to add lemon to my hydrating water.
I've read that citrates, including citric acid ( as in lemon juice ) prevent formation of calcium oxalate stones...I've also read that hydroxycitrate - formerly used in diet pills can dissolve existing stones as well. The data on that last was very sparse, though a large company in the "litho" business seemed to take an interest in it. What is your opinion on these? Thanks.
Hello Dr. Boz thank you SO much for the info and I just purchased your book luv it👍 I had to go the hospital they said I had a kidney stone I’ve been in ketosis almost 5 mmonths peeing keytones and checking almost every day. The thing is I still have severe burning constant urge to go in frequent urination so I can’t seem to stay hydrated? Do you have any advice as far as why the urinary tract still burns and if that is a condition I will have to deal with in ketosis? Any help would be great! Rebecca.
How long did that feeling take to go away mate? After i passed a stone that feeling was there days later but passed completely by the 4th day
wow thank you great video
What happens if we get dehydrated because of pharmaceutical drugs for blood pressure such as chlonidine, losartan, etc.? Chlonidine gives me severe dry mouth and seems to have made my gallstones and kidney stones worse. I'm tired of seeing many M.D.s, only for them to throw more drugs at me, which solves nothing, making my condition worse. Very frustrating to see doctor after doctor, whom does not tackle the root problem, but mask symptoms.
Thank you so much. ❤
Crystals? I piss diamonds.
Hmmm..🤔. Then I’m guessing dry fasting isn’t good? What would you say to the millions of people who dry fast successfully, sometimes for three days at a time for years, and swear by it? Thanks.
Good question. But I'm guessing that these individuals hydrate well when they are not on their dry fast, correct?
What is leto deit please let me know..i have kidney stone in my left 3 stone and in a right kidney 1 stone all stone size of 4 mm pleat let me know what i have to do i am gett tait from medicen i took 2 year continue medicen but i have still same size of kidney stone
Suffered from both kidney stones and gout. I was very careful at the beginning to get most of my fat from things like pecans and macadamia nuts versus meat and cheese. When I did get that little tingle in my toe joint I fasted for 24 to 36 hours, staying hydrated, and it passed each time but my anti-inflammatories were always close by.
Nuts have oxalates.. dont trust main stream doctors. Animal based proteins are good and wont harm kidneys like they try to tell you. I have a history of kidney stones. Im on the carnivore diet and i promise it works
Very informative
Nice video, i used to be on ketosis, i lost 50lb in 5 months. After that i quit and started and quit again, . Now, i have gout, on my right thumb and toe, really painful,. Keto diet uses bacon, red fatty meat, pork, sausage, avocado etc, all this raises uric acid on your body in big amounts, so, how is it safe to be on ketosis when you have gout?my doctor just told me to quit fats and meats. Please help me, i really want to go back to keto, im just scared to do it and get my condition even worse.
my mum has toe stones. she blames shellfish
What fruit and vegetables is forbidden to eat for who has kidney stones?
As a personal trainer I emphasize the absolute necessity for proper hydration, usually stressing this need by pointing out the body is approx. 60% water. An odd question comes up now and then, as to whether too much water can be bad for you? I tell these folk not to worry, as the average person has little or no chance of over hydrating - this isn't water-boarding we're talking about. lol
@Little pig yea the atheletes would drink water, and didn't know they were drinking too much so they started feeling bad. Unfortunately they thought they felt bad because they weren't drinking enough so kept drinking- that's how they died. Most people won't run into that problem especially if they are aware of it, the electrolytes part is something to look out for though.
@Little pig "Since then people drop death during these sport events without any explanation"
its called doping. athletes do some really questionable stuff to get an edge in this day and age.
I used to get really bad gout... since eating in a keto fashion *most* of the time, I really don't get gout at all. Maybe once a year, maybe... and nowhere near as bad.
Yes I'm the same!
I'm with pkmessick, I've been searching for answers as to why I suddenly have kidney stones on the Keto diet! My only concern is limiting my sodium intake and wonder if I can stay on the diet without feeling too fatigued. Since starting keto I now have
kidney stones and thrush! The limitations on the Keto diet is enough already, but when you have two other diet protocols to
follow for the kidney stones and thrush is ridiculous! Lol! Thank you Dr Boz for taking the time to explain all of this in layman
terms!
don't limit your salt intake. it's hard to be hydrated when you're low in sodium and when you drink lots of water you flush out minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. you don't need to go crazy with salt but don't be afraid of it. and take potassium/magnesium citrate supplements--they help restore minerals you're losing. and low citrate levels ==> kidney stones which is why some folks take lemon juice.
Dr. when I’m fasting is it necessary for me to continue to consume MCT. Currently I Eat one meal a day and then I fast for 23 hours before I have another meal.
However each morning I put one or 2 tablespoons of MCT in my coffee. Please advise.
Thank you,
Pete
I have sponge kidneys sooo I just make stones it’s tough must drink water with lemon avoid all kinds of foods and low salt. Had so many surgeries that one kidney is now only 35%. I Am pre diabetic too.
Wait, so your answer to having kidney stones on keto is to just stay on keto and risk passing stones?
Do my kidneys wear cowboy hats?
Yes, if you are a cartoon.
Only if they're healthy and constantly replenished with water.
They do. They're terrible at making wardrobe decisions.
Yes they do. They’re called adrenal glands.
No, they wear adrenals
I am hoping the keto diet will keep my gout from coming back. The only thing I have used that really helps and prevents gout is milk and dairy. With milk I haven't had a flair up in a few years. Right now after a mostly keto diet, and cutting back on milk, I still have not had any gout problems. I can do without milk. Spent years going without milk. But when something works to keep that gout away...you use it.
I've been on Wheat Belly a few years. Really helped with my gout. Bacteria processed cheeses and high fat yogurt are great, avoid the milk due to sugars.

thanks for the video. I started keto several months ago and 2 weeks in had to go to the er. it turned out i was passing a stone. I stopped keto just to be sure it wasn't that that caused it. now they tell me that i have another size 3 stone and I thought started keto again today. After a urine test they do told them im extremely acidic. I'm beginning to wonder if starting keto was a bad idea. not sure what to think. does keto cause this? No matter what I do I can't seem to get alkaline urine. can't take the large amounts of citric acidic because it doesn't go well with my blood pressure med. other than that I'm healthy. Does this mean keto isn't good for me and if not, what's a good diet?
slyviewer99 I’ve had identical issues. Never had gout or kidney stones since going keto 4 months ago. Never had either prior to keto.
Speaking of stones Dr Boz you should have Sally K Norton on your show about oxalates especially with the Keto using cups of almond flour or spinach salads......a lot of the “allowable” keto foods are awful for oxalate toxin.
You are right.
I’ve not connected with Sally before .. thanks for the tip
@@DoctorBoz She would be an amazing interview! She’s got a great vegan to carnivore story!
@@DoctorBoz btw I’ve been trying to do the keto continuum and lower oxalate diet at the same time! Good book reviews coming soon! Sorry for it being late!
What about high cholesterol and the `Keto diet
Thank You so much for this!
Oh my gosh!!!! Seeing this video is so life changing for me. I thought I could not do keto because I have had kidney stones in the past. I was told I have another one in there but that was well over 10 years ago and I have not felt it pass. I always do better on low carb diets in the past but stopped due to thinking I would make more kidney stones. Thank you for your videos!!!!!
Big smile.
Could you tell me if lemon in water helps with the gout and kidney stones? I just found you seems very interesting
Sandy Gilbert do Braggs ACV/lemons water. 2 tbsp acv. Whole small lemon or half a large lemon juices. That shd help rid kidney stones and restore ur pH.
I ended up with gout so I can only speak about that. My stepmother suffers from it so after I initially I thought 'arthritis' because of waking up with pain in joints (my hand), I quickly realized it was not only painful & swollen, but the affected area was RED, just like her hand. I found taking lemon juice in water helped me. I also added acv to the mix. My symptoms improved within 24 hours. Not sure if that's normal and to be expected for all since I only suffered for around half a day before "treating". My first experience was with my hand; subsequent flare-ups have been with my big toe(s). Now if I can only figure out how to completely avoid more flare-ups... I'm guessing I don't hydrate enough. I like my coffee :)
Went keto a year ago Gout gone 100 percent uric acid at 6.5 no meds for whole last year
"Make sure you stay hydrated"- what does a person on fluid restriction because of 'borderline heart failure" do about this? It concerns me greatly that unless I stay (on doctor's orders) at 1200ml or less of fluids per day, I gradually fill up with fluid in the legs and lungs, and have had to be admitted to hospital several times now because I could no longer breathe effectively. Yet I' well aware that water is essential for so much functioning of the body. I would much appreciate your helpful comments. Our normal diet has always consisted of lots of vegies - especially silver beet from our garden, small amounts of meat and a reasonable amount of grainy bread.
The ketogenic diet that doc is talking about requires NOT eating breads, potatoes, rice, cereals, sugary stuff. You get your carbs mostly from leafy green veggies, small amounts of berries and other veggies like cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus, etc. There are some carbs in things like nuts/seeds, etc. The protein and fat keep you feeling fuller longer. No sugar/low carb allows you to use ketones for energy. If you have any weight to lose, it will allow you to tap into your fat stores for energy. To lose weight keep your net carbs at 20 grams or so. To maintain weight, increase good carbs slightly. If you gain weight, cut back carbs; if you lose weight, increase carbs. 😊 Keeping glucose and insulin low is healthy and that's what doc is saying. Go into ketosis and stay there, not hop in and out. (As was my mistake and got gout for it. It HURTS) Best of luck!
I have a friend who has had gastric surgery called a duodenal switch. She doesn't absorb nutrients well and is now struggling with kidney stones, she is following a low-carb diet, not Keto. I'm thinking this may have ignited her recent bout of passing a series of kidney stones. Eek. The gastric surgery saved her life, but it has certainly complicated it.
How do you recommend for people with gallbladder issues going on Keto? I was told my gallbladder is full of sand and contracted upon itself, so it's unlikely to cause a problem. I am now starting the Wahls Protocol level three, which is more or less keto with a lot of vegetables. I'm concerned that the increase in fat might cause my gallbladder to start rumbling. The last thing I want is to end up having to have it removed.
Thanks. This was helpful
But what's the relationship between sugar and insulin and the formation of kidney stones ? Can someone explain the mechanism ? Because all I have read concerning the development of kidney stones is excess solutes like oxalate , phosphates, etc .. because of excess intake of meat products( purines) which result in uric acid stones and phosphate stones ? Not even once was sugar or insulin mentioned ! The info is too conflicting can someone help clear the confusion?
I had extremly high uric acid levels during ketosis and they found a 3 and 6 mm stone in my kidney so I'm not sure if it's from the diet or my excess drinking of fruit juice 4 months before.
Big question: how do we know if we remove the gout crystal or add more?
Does apple cider vinegar work?
I think it does
unless you stay dehydrated . ADD SEA SALT! while on keto
What's different between those two salts.its just.Nasl.
Never use sea salt when on ketosis
@@ralphfurley404 why?
What about daily lemon juice to g elp prevent kidney stones?
I've been bad, I cheated with Goat milk off and on, Then the 2lb bag of blueberries went missing in one night. lol I am now one month in and my kidneys don't hurt if I tap on my back but I still feel pains off and on ,not really bad but it will stab my side and then go away. Took coffee out and starting drinking more water. Little pink salt and waiting. Just might take a little Mag too, It's been 3 days after golden corral.
Dr Boz, I have been on LCHF/Keto for 6 months, lost 50+ lbs have a history of gout and am currently getting flare-up (however no swelling or redness) and this lines up with idea that crystal might be moving out, however I have not been able to find corroborating information on this idea. Can you point to some. Thank you for your vids!
I thought the cost of gout was from excess uric acid?
Its the Uric acid crystal she was talking about.
How about eating a balanced diet with less calories. You will lower concentration of all sort of bad things.
I did a keto for about week and on the last day i was like about to vomit...not sure why this happened.
I tried again for a week. It happened again
