I (25M) had my first flare a couple of yours ago, but only got diagnosed about 3 years ago. At first I didn't care about my diet, so beer, beer etc. were not excluded. I learned my lesson, let's just say that after a couple of really bad flare ups I learned my lesson. In the past year I had 2 flare ups only, although the first one was pretty bad, and the second right now is a pretty mild one. The first one was entirely my fault, so I won't get into that.

​

The second one was entirely or almost entirely unexpected. Until now I ate chicken and didn't have any issues whatsoever. But now, after eating prepared chicken ham at my in-laws...which had the label chicken on it, and I even checked the back and it says it was made from chicken (although I am not sure if you can know 100% if it's only chicken in there) I had my flare-up...of which I am suffering right now. When eating chicken prepared by me I have no such issues, so I am not sure what the issues is, but I assume either the label lied in terms of it not being chicken, or there is something else in these prepared foods that caused the flare-up. I just wanted to post this..maybe it helps someone. I learned my lesson.

​

Sorry if some things are not that clear, english is not my native language..and I am not sured chicken ham is the correct term but oh well.

​

Have a nice day, and stay flare-free!
