Gout and stress

by Margaret tandall

All my life I have suffered from bouts of extreme stress resulting in frequent urgent urination 3 - 4 times in night. Stinging red inflamed eyes, severe pain in joints.i suddenly have become aware this is caused by high levels of uric acid.I eat foods high in purines such as wheatgerm vitamins and foods rich in purines and nucleac acids.this was never a problem.But after stress I feel really ill which I have discovered is caused by a high rise in uric acid. To counteract this to drink large amounts of water,cut down on foods rich in purines. Togethet with less stress
