Monday, January 25. An ordinary gout-free day.

So there was more starch than I expecter in those parsnip chips. I think that is the likeliest explanation for the sudden spike in uric acid.
Anothervthing is that I started drinkibg rooibos tea. Inusually do not do this without evidence, and a few years bavk there was a study that rooibos may lower the uric scid production in the liver. Just like allopurinol. Great if it was true. Let me check for a couple of weeks.
