Dry fasting contraindicated for gout?

Hello,

I just got saw in Dr. Filonov’s book that gout is a “relative” contraindication for gout, but he doesn’t say why.

My guess is that this is because going in ketosis can trigger gout flares?

I’ve been on a ketogenic diet for over a year, so I’m guessing it wouldn’t be a problem for me, but wondering if there are additional reasons.

Does anyone have any additional knowledge or experience?

Thanks, Adam.

Answer

When I first started fasting, it triggered a gout attack.

But the more I fasted the less gout attacks I got.

Now I can feel when I’m getting close to giving myself a gout attack, and it’s a signal to stop eating whatever it is that is pushing me towards that cliff.
