I am diagnosed with Gouty arthritis. (29yrs old male, married, teetotaler). High uric acid in blood test 7.4mg/dl.
I experience radiating pains in thigh rarely, had a swelled up knee twice(in the early morning). I experience right thumb toe pain often. I am an ardent non-vegetarian, but was advised to become a vegetarian and drink lots of water. Is this a persistent disease, will I be able to come out of this disease with a disciplined diet. Can you also please advise me with food items that I need to avoid strictly and other do's don'ts
