A member asked:
I've tried limiting purines from a diet perspective. is there anything anyone has tried before i take allopurinol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Diet is virtually worthless in the treatment of high serum uric acid levels. The only exception is to limit alcohol intake. The longer you delay allopurinol, the more uric acid is deposited in joints, kidneys and blood vessels.
