THANK YOU!!!

I received great info on gout.  There does not seem to be a connection btwn gout and celiac as gout is not an auto-immune condition.  However, one person suggested there might be a connection between "pseudogout" and celiac disease.  Most people have had success with either anti-inflammatories or diet.  

Foods to consider for dietary management include:

on a daily basis drink a glass of black cherry juice 

avoid fructose, esp high fructose corn syrup/soft drinks always - check this out - The video "The Bitter Truth" is worth watching

avoid red meats and nightshade vegetables esp during flare-ups and routinely if possible

on a daily basis drink celery, carrot, cucumber juiced in juicer

vitamin C

Finally, from a listserve member studying nutrition:

"gout is caused by high levels of uric acid accumulating in the blood. It falls under the category of arthritis disorders. It is more likely to occur in people with diabetes or with insulin resistence syndrome.

Foods that have a high purine content tend to contribute to gout. Foods that have a high purine content are things like...

High Content - all these foods should be eliminated
anchovies, sardines
bouillon
consomme
goose. partridge
gravy
herring, mackerel
heart, kidney
mussels, scallops

Medium purine content -- one serving per day is ok
fish
chicken
meat
shellfish
asparagus
dried beans, lentils
mushrooms
dried peas
spinach

It is also believed that alcohol, and particularly beer although you probably aren't having this with celiac, can cause uric acid to build up. However, wine in moderation doesn't seem to be a problem.

It is recommended that you drink plenty of fluids to help flush out the uric acid.

Also, it appears that restricting calories to about 1600 per day helps prevent flare-ups although this study was done on men.

It is recommended to split the calories into 40% carbohydrates (should be complex carbs), 30% protein, and 30% fat"
