This one I have to hand to MRSD, and her persistence on balance....(see I do listen)

Intestinal flora processes one third of uric acid.....

doxycycline.

The remedy, I yield the floor to you MRSD---every bottle looks the same to me in the health food store....

(me? I like yogurt but that doesn't go over well with everyone, and may of course not be enough here...no to mention it is constipating.) ASA hikes up uric acid too, but likely Cathie isn't getting all that much from the Alkie....
