My anual blood tests show a slightly raised level of uric acid, which although my physician seems unconcerned, is a slight worry to me, as I tend to make kidney stones.
(It's not easy to discuss it with him as he's very overworked and we don't share a language in which we are both fluent!)
Research tells me I should reduce my intake of purines, but they tend to be in all the things I eat (and enjoy!) to keep my cholesterol level down!! (eg oily fish).
Any advice on dietary guidelines to keep the blood 'thin' and at the same time reduce uric acid levels?
Thanks
