Why gout happens
High uric acid in the blood forms crystals in the joint. Alcohol, red meat, shellfish, sugary drinks, dehydration and some medicines can trigger attacks, and holiday eating and drinking commonly does.

Symptoms of gout

Yalikavak: local notes for gout
Yalikavak’s marina and beach clubs mean a lot of sun, sea and cocktails. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
