As embarrassing as this is I'm posting to share something personal I have been dealing with. . A few years ago I was diagnosed with a form of arthritis I have gout. It was a quick visit a few pills told me cut liquor and seafood out and I'll be fine. Most doctors like to just prescribe and not follow up with THESE FOODS ARE KILLING YOU and causing a inflammatory disease that will catch up with you. So at times if I have a gout or arthritis flair up it effects my thumbs at times and makes typing on here hard so if I go w day without answering DMs it might be cuz my hands hurt 😔 . I thought I'm only 33 and I have gout Wtf. Now I'm 36 And changed a few things and then went about my business. Little did I realize that inflammation was poisoning my body, making me tired, making me unable to lose weight, causing kidney infections, yeast issues , triggering my asthma and much more. . For years I have told people certain foods just make me feel bad or my stomach hurt and when I tried to diet I would just increase proteins like eggs or fish or dairy because most people think you can't get enough protein from plant based foods. Well wrong fish and too much eggs and protein were actually killing me because my disease effects how I break down protein. . Well it's happening again, sadly I'm beginning to have arthritis in my thumbs as well as my feet and even sometimes numbness in my feet. I kept ignoring it. . Recently I started to do more research on a high level of uric acid and my inflammatory disease and I was shocked to see the foods I was eating and even FASTING yea fasting was causing a elevation in purines. I felt defeated 😞 but then I said I'm going to listen to my body. The foods I crave maybe I'm craving for a reason. . I literally cut out foods that are triggering inflammation and I lost weight instantly, no bloating today with my period and I'm shocked, numbness in my feet is gone and I literally feel like a new person. . The picture on the left is two periods ago when I was in so much pain I saw a doctor and and she said to me flat out inflammation is killing you and doesn't matter if u have endo or not you need to completely cut out these foods. I know a lot of people suffer from gout because anytime I post it I get SO MANY DMS!!! I'll post what I'm eating in my stories. 💝🙏
