Hi Kell,
That is true, and I eat no red meat (haven't for 32 years)and whereas I do like a glass of wine or a beer with dinner I don't consume it to excess, but my doctor still decided it is gout. From what I understand there can be hereditary factors too, but I don't have it in my family either.
I intuitively think I don't have gout, and I am not sure this is AS related either, bot I guess without the tests I cannot know for sure.
For one thing there was no redness, which I understand typically goes with gout. On the other hand I have never had swelling with my AS before.
