Can weight loss can cause gout?

Yes: Severe, rapid weight loss may precipitate a gouty attack.

Weight loss & gout.: Both rapid weight loss, which is not advised anyway, along with the high protein diet that usually accompanies a weight loss strategy, can lead to an attack of gout. Drink lots of water to minimize the risk.

Weight loss and gout: Rapid weight loss can cause excess lactic acid buildup, which hinders uric acid excretion by the kidneys and triggering a gout attack. Dieting also may cause a loss of potassium, which can increase urate levels in the blood. I know this may be a bit technical, but the answer is very possibly yes.
