Gout = No Protein

The "ex box"
My boyfriend and I just moved in together last weekend and things are going great. However, yesterday I was unpacking boxes, while he wasnt home, and I stumbled upon a box of his stuff. I suppose I should have just let him go through it, however I didn't really think anything of it. It had clothes and other misc. stuff in…
