question: about two months ago  had a gout attack  for the first time. my left toe was swollen and painful.  it was very bothersome but not terrible. with a strict change in my diet of no meat and only  appropriate  vegetables plus  fresh daily beet-carrot-apple juice plus various herbal tea and 3 liters of water ı have overcome  the attack. it took me two months to rteturn to normal and put my shoes on again. ı did not take any drugs. my uric acid level at the time of attack was 9.6 i  purchased a uric acid, glucose checking meter. two days ago  my uric acid count before breakfast was 3. before dinner was 4.9 and after dinner was 4.6. is this normal and should  ı increase my uric acid with diet change without chemical drugs please.thank you for yr assistance.rgdskurt
