Well, at least I know that nobody cares. wink. I’m sorry, I just had to say that. Anyway I’ll just keep going on with my program, for better or worse, and report back to this post with any updates.
No reply at all, hmmm,? I truly do count the days that I am gout attack-free as a blessing at this point. And anything at all that can contribute to that,(malic acid) or whatever, needs to be talked about and or further researched for the sake of gout free living.
Well, here is the bad news I guess, (uric acid, serum
7.6 mg/dL
4.0-8.0
completed
N
07/27/2017). The rest of the blood work was fine, all no flags. The only good news is that I’ve had no gout attacks since the last post. So maybe that means that the steady intake of Malic acid supplementation really did have an effect on uric acid crystal formation in my joints.( Have another Apple), I can’t prove that, I’m just relaying to you what has been happening. I also have gone to about a 80% plant based diet, no meat, but eggs and dairy. Hope this helps somebody somewhere… take Care…….Thank you for your detailed reply. Sorry that I disappeared for 3+ months. But life seems to get in the way of a lot of stuff. Anyway, since there is so little research on Malic acid supplementation and it’s effect on gout I decided to go the genie pig route myself, and I have been taking one 600 mg capsule of malic acid, (the label say’s,from apples), daily, plus one sometimes two, 450mg cap’s of apple cider vinegar, daily, since my last post. No major attacks at all. Only some minor flare-ups that I think may have been related to uric acid build up. But I’ve had no new blood work either to substantiate anything. I will be going in for complete bloodwork and a routine check-up within the next 14 day’s. I will get back to you with the numbers and results. Take care and stay gout-free……
Only one time was uric acid included in my blood work in those 5 yrs. That was two month ago. And only because of my own suggestion that it should be screened for.(Isn’t health care great today) it was 6.9, quite high I think. I have had many crippling attacks in those 5 yrs. About 18 months ago I changed my diet drastically. No red meat, no seafood, no HFCS, (high fructose corn syrup), witch is in everything now-a-days. Had great results, no flare-ups at all. Until I ate fish three times in one week about 10 weeks ago. Within days a major flare-up in my right foot. Off work for 1 week. I am a 61 yr old male in otherwise good health. Anyway, do you have any input or info on supplementing with malic acid ? Thank you.
