I've been struggling with fatigue, loose BMs and joint issues for awhile now. I put this down to my UC. My bloods and scans have looked fine during this period,,,,CRP was around 3 and iron was good. No blood, urgency or mucus at all and FCP levels always under 55.
My PCP did a uric acid level on my last blood test...it was 6.8 and close to the cut-off of 7.0 for gout. A second one gave a reading of 7.5. So I'm wondering now are all my symptoms independent of UC and actually related to a gout flare up. He is doing further testing.
Interested to know if others here have had gout issues with their UC? Thanks
