Hi doctor Fung... I have been trying intermittent fasting and egg fasting for the last 2 months and have dropped close to 10 kilos . However I have been dealing with a Gout attack over the last couple of weeks. I wonder if there is a link between the fasting, weight loss and Gout

Dr Andreas Eenfeld has a page on gout here.

Quote -

"Short term studies show a temporary rise in uric acid during the first few weeks when starting a strict (i.e. keto) low-carb diet. This effect seems to disappear after about six weeks, with uric acid returning to baseline or even lower."

I believe questions to Dr Fung can be asked in the experts section.
