Worst thing for gout for me is internal organ meat and aspearagras. I take an allopurinol a day to prevent it. When I do have an attack, ibuprofin won't touch it, get some indomethecine. Doc gives me that and cholchicine and in 2 days its better.

i have had gout in my toes, ankles and knees. very
painfull. been laid up for as much as 3 days at a
time. i have been taking some meds to not get

gout. it's been a long time not since my last attack.

its worth taking one pill a day to keep the gout away.

Battled this for a few years myself.

Drink lots of water. Don't eat as much meat, cut down on beans
A list from another website:

Beer, other alcoholic beverages. Anchovies, sardines in oil, fish roes, herring. Yeast. Organ meat (liver, kidneys, sweetbreads) Legumes (dried beans, peas) Meat extracts, consomme, gravies.
Mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, cauliflower.

Another thing to make sure of is that you don't have something else causing the high urine levels- kidney problems can do this.

Dave, I had gout several years ago! It is generally caused by tomato paste, sauce, spicy foods, and seafood. My Dr. gave me some pills that gave me a case of the green apple two step, but within 24 hours, I was back on my feet. My backside was a little tender, but the pain in my toe was gone! Everyone can deal with a pain in the a$$, we've all had to do it from time to time! I hope you feel better.

Had a friend that swore by cherry juice, jelly, etc. anything with cherrys in it. My dr. said he did not believe in the cherry cure. I had to have foot surgery to correct hammer toe and some other problems. The foot surgeon said she cleaned out the joint on that big toe wile she was in there. Definately do not recommend this, it works, but painful.

Good luck,, Gene

GeneMo: That cherry juice remedy is interesting to me, because I had a business partner who swore by pickle juice. He should know..... he drank beer by the case and ate oysters by the gallon and got gout about 4 times a year. Probably still does. mike

Been there, done that. If you need some temporary relief soak that baby in a hot tube of water. The doctor gave me an anti-inflamatory, I was unaware of the aspirin just adding to the problem but do not question that it could. Organ meats, beer, being overweight, and I'm sure many of the other things you enjoy are the culprits. The ibuproprin is an anti-inflamatory I am told, it's your call, I know your in pain and wish you good luck, put her in heat that may get you a nap until the meds. kick in, the Doc. probably won't put you on a preventative med. until your rid of the pain.

Font SizeA A A Gout - Topic Overview

What is gout?

Gout is a kind of arthritis. It can cause an attack of sudden burning pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint, usually a big toe. These attacks can happen over and over unless gout is treated. Over time, they can harm your joints, tendons, and other tissues. Gout is most common in men.

What causes gout?

Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. Most of the time, having too much uric acid is not harmful. Many people with high levels in their blood never get gout. But when uric acid levels in the blood are too high, the uric acid may form hard crystals in your joints.

Your chances of getting gout are higher if you are overweight, drink too much alcohol, or eat too much meat and fish that are high in chemicals called purines. Some medicines, such as water pills (diuretics), can also bring on gout.

What are the symptoms?

The most common sign of gout is a nighttime attack of swelling, tenderness, redness, and sharp pain in your big toe. You can also get gout attacks in your foot, ankle, or knees. The attacks can last a few days or many weeks before the pain goes away. Another attack may not happen for months or years.

See your doctor even if your pain from gout is gone. The buildup of uric acid that led to your gout attack can still harm your joints.

How is gout diagnosed?

Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and do a physical exam. Your doctor may also take a sample of fluid from your joint to look for uric acid crystals. This is the best way to test for gout. Your doctor may also do a blood test to measure the amount of uric acid in your blood.

How is it treated?

To stop a gout attack quickly, your doctor can prescribe a large daily dose of one or more medicines. The doses will get smaller as your symptoms go away. Relief from a gout attack often begins within 24 hours if you start treatment right away.

To prevent future attacks, your doctor can prescribe a medicine to reduce uric acid buildup in your blood.

To ease the pain during a gout attack, rest the joint that hurts. Taking ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory medicine can also help you feel better. But don't take aspirin. It can make gout worse by raising the uric acid level in the blood.

Changing the way you eat can help you manage your gout. Eat a healthy mix of foods so you get the nutrients you need. Limit foods like meat, fish, and beer. Drink plenty of water and other fluids.
