My answer was you would have known if I had a flare. Yes it is a super pain experience. I am still planning my meals following a low purine, and moderately low gluten diet. I am able to slide a small amount of red meat in once and a while. Meats and seafoods are a large part of my gout problems, cutting back on it has helped me quite a lot. I take my gout medication daily and eat with caution in my choices of foods.
