I Just Had Total Blood Work Done And My Uric
Question: I just had total blood work done and my uric acid was high , it never was before, taking over the counter test boosters and other herbs no systoms kidney stones or joint pain but I was have hard time hold my urine.
Brief Answer:
Purine free diet
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns...
Please note you need to follow a low purine diet, which means you should avoid meat products, legumes, alcohol and alcoholic beverages(if at all consume)...
Even if you are not showing symptoms of gout then you should refer to your doctor for a prescription of allopurinol to decrease your uric acid levels... Another thing is that you should keep yourself hydrated with at least 2-3 litres of water daily...
As for not being able to hold urine, this could be due to a urinary tract infection or inflammation of the prostate gland so please be advised to get a urinalysis together with a pelvic ultrasound to exclude prostatitis.
I hope you find this helpful
