Gout & kidney stones - common pinoy problem in the U.S.
MMedina102
post this subject which I think many pinoys are not aware of until they
become a victim of either or both ailments. Ask any family care physician
who has a considerable number of pinoy patients and they would invariably
confirm this pathetic pinoy problem. The reason? High uric acid in our
favorite foods. The culprit? Internal organs or laman lo-ob ng maka or
mamoy or any other animal for that matter.
What makes it worse is that cattle and hogs raised in this country are
super high in uric acid because of the super rich grains that they are fed
with. Sa atin eh kaning baboy lang ni mang Juan ang ipinapakain sa mga
oink oink at yung mga baka sa Tagaytay...'di ba mga mukhang buto't balat
na lang? And did you notice the chicken sold at Makati Supermart?...they
look sick! (BTW, chicken skins are also high in uric acid). But I was
told by a pinoy doctor that they are better nutritionally (he means less
fat and uric acid) and even tastier to which I agree. Don't you?
All the yum, yum is not lost however. You can still make kare-kare with
just plain oxtail and dinuguan with just pork snout and ears. To me
organ-meat less recipe is better than the terrible pain (the most painful
of pains according to doctors) of passing a kidney stone (I did three more
than twenty years ago) or the debilitating pain of gout. And by all means
distance yourself from sitsarong bulaklak.

: The recent spate of delicious pinoy recipes here at SCF prompted me to
worst in Uric acid. But it's also damm deliciuos. especially
Chicharon Bituka,Chicharon bulaklak,Pancit palabok,Dinuguan,
Lechon kawali,dilis,tuyo,daing,alamang,longanisa,kandiga(atay),
Taba-ng_talangka,tokwa't_baboy,Hamon-tsino,itlog-na-maalat,
patis,bagoong-balayan,crisky-pata,tahong,pinakbet(anybody who cooks pakbet
without bagoong should be should horse-wipped and humilated in public),
embutido,morcon,chorizo,shell-fish atbp. in other words your'e diet should
be as tasteless as possible. Even Spinach and talong is supposively bad.
And no salt and defenity no alcohol. I heard this is very prevalent
specially among orientals.
I take PROBENECID to lower my uric acid and MOTRIN during attacks.

PREDNISONE helps, too. But isn't uric acid a heridetary
type of ailment? Kung kumakain man tayo ng mga "taba'" ng
manok, maka, mamoy o kahit na anong taba, then after eating,
you just sit on the living room waiting for your muchacha to
serve you the "panghimagas" then, there is gout. Gout is a
build up of crystals that attack those white blood cells
penetrating in your joints.
The best thing to do after eating.....
A LITTLE BIT OF REST.... THEN EXERCISE......

I remember reading about this in the best-selling "Diet For A New
America" by John Robbins.
