Men Living with Gout?
I know this is an old post, but I can confirm that MSG causes gout in me. After years of trial and error, it is the MSG that always causes it. It is in everything, and what initially clued me in was eating dried cuttlefish and Hot Fries in the same day that I also had a Cup of Noodles for lunch. I am from Hawaii and we love all of those things. That started my quest to eventually figure out it is the MSG. Now whenever I have a gout attack, I can ALWAYS trace it back to something I forgot had MSG, like a bag of BBQ Chips, Top Ramen (the flavor packet), sausage links (McDonald too!), some bacons, most flavored corn chips (nacho cheese, ranch), Campbells soups, Mexican packet soups, so many things. Read the labels and it could be affecting you too. Some restaurants you must ask also, because some put it in Kim Chee and their soup bases and sauces. Asian places LOVE to put it in their dips and sauces. I myself can eat any shellfish, drink beer, everything else is fine (except the concentrated fish sauces too as in Filipino food which I love), for the most part, just be careful not to STACK the items. A bag of Doritos is fine for me, but if I eat it, then eat a sausage burrito from McDonald's along with a hotdog that has it, the BOOM! Gout attack. Hope this saves you some time in figuring it out. Read the label and you'll be surprised how many things have MSG, even a lot of dressings, like Hidden Valley Ranch.
