A member asked:
Does having gout have anything to do with stomach inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis cause by the buildup of uric acid. It tends to accumulate in joints and soft tissues, and can be quite painful. Gout can be caused by dietary excess, medications (such as a diuretic), or be due to faulty elimination through the kidneys. Medications used to treat gout- colchicine, nsaids, Allopurinol might upset the stomach though...
