oxalic acid is the cause of gout. Oxalic acid will build up in the joints and cause joint pain.

Oxalic acid is found in high concentrations in spinach, most nuts (they do vary in concentration) and alcohol will dehydrate you causing the oxalic acid to crystalize in the joints. Ergo gout.

Good thing I stopped ODing on spinach a while ago

Guess where I am?
I'm getting stuff for the other bathroom.

Everything but the man cave is going in the bathroom.
For this price I think I might have to redo another room today too.

We’re finally on our way to find the stuff to finish the trailer build. Maybe I can get my bathroom finished this weekend too

I'm getting my nails done at a salon for the first time. So relaxing! Got to sit in the message chair

I just got finished hanging all the new bathroom signs.

I haven't even painted the walls yet but I just wanted to get an idea on how it was going to look... And see if I need to buy more.
I think I need to buy one more.

Yes. ( I thought it was purines but now I have more reading to do.)

You may be right. I may be crazy.

Quick internet search referenced purines as cause. The doctor explained to me why mine was diet related and said things about the oxalic acid. In short, there may be many causes.

Here a result of a quick search that appears to say there are at least two causes of gout? I lost focus after reading this, so let me know what you find.

Serum uric acid was highest in the non-stone gouty patients, followed by the gouty uric acid stone formers and gouty calcium oxalate stone patients. The high values of promoters, namely uric acid and calcium in the gouty stone patients indicate the tendency for urinary stone formation in the gouty stone patients. There is probably a correlation between gout and calcium oxalate urinary stone. We presume this mechanism is achieved through the uric acid metabolism. The findings point to the summation effect of metabolic changes in development of stone disease.

I read that or something very similar. As you said there are competing theories and probably different causes with similar symptoms.
It looks much more complicated than I thought. Apparently the research involves arthritis and renal stones.
Isn't it great that what could start as a conflict continues as a search of discovery. Gotta Love freedom of speech.
