I will say, having had two attacks of it......... gout is misery compounded with agony. You do not want to go there. I think my attacks were from too much beer, and general dehydration. When I first started riding, it was giving me such astounding results in mitigating my head injury symptoms, that I got totally obsessed and was riding 50 miles (and not easy ones) every other day, just like clockwork. Then not drinking enough water at night, and too much beer. Did that for months on end then POW.... gout.
Anyway that's my story; and I ain't giving up shellfish unless I absolutely have to.
