I believe dry fasting may have triggered my gout. I had been free of any gout attacks for three years. I completed a 55 hour dry fast a few weeks ago and had a horrific gout attack that hasn’t subsided. Perhaps dry fasting was too much strain on the kidneys. Thoughts?
As someone who had gout before fasting and low carb, my first fast definitely triggered a gout attack. But after that fast, fasting and low carb has drastically reduced the number of gout attacks I have had.
Also, fasting is also the fastest way for me to resolve a gout attack. Eating during a gout attack increases the pain level, and prolongs the attack
Bringing that uric acid out. Got to go through it to get rid of it. Bicarbonate and water fast for a few days after it presents on your dry fast would be a sensible approach. Say 72 dry then 72 bicarbonate and moderate water (say a litre or two)
Emotional and physical diseases, aches and pains are sequentially healed to a degree or healed to completion if the fast is done for a long enough duration. We are forced to feel and sometimes forced to feel to an amplified degree the pain of the emotional or physical wound/disease while we heal, process and finally let go of it. Sometimes breaking the fast and interrupting that healing process can worsen the emotional/physical wound or disease and make the pain more intense than what it was before you started the fast
