Paleo Diet
Randy in Wiscosin -
Your body will rarely respond to a low purine diet according to paleo diet experts. Several years ago there was a study done where gout sufferers were placed on vegetables, meat, nuts, water. Essentially the paleo diet. They improved. Read the correlation between fructose and gout. It would seem that the usual dietary restraints may be outdated. I eat this way along with cherry juice and cherries For me it works.

Gout relief
River 956 in Northern CA -Shell fish is my favorite protein, of course I also enjoy legumes, prime beef & most foods that lead to days (NIGHTS) in pain.
While it may not work for everyone, drinking pineapple juice - 6 oz every PM - works for me.

Gout cure
Gregg in San Diego -Try going to Goutcure.com. They have some excellent
Diet info there. Mainly drink nothing but purified water and avoid foods with high purines. No alcohol for a week and drink 1 oz. of water for every lb. you weigh. If you weigh 200lbs you need 100oz. of water per day. Being a gout sufferer for 10 years I have done a lot of research and this info is the best. Their research makes sense and it works! I know how much pain I was in and if I can help anyone with info this is it. They will tell you exactly what is going on in your body and how to prevent Uric Acid build up so your body can get rid of it without prescription drugs. I highly recommend their product.

Baking Soda Water & Tart Cherries
R D in Wyoming -I ended up getting my first case of gout just a short while ago, Figured it would happen sooner or later to me, everyone on my mothers side has had it before they were 25 even. Guess I got lucky by making it to 27. Ended up trying to drink a glass of water with 2 tsp of baking soda in it followed by 4 more glasses of regular water in a short time. Also ate a whole can of tart pitted cherries and drank the juice. Within 4 hours the pain was still there but it was bearable, was able to walk around and even able to go to work the next day.

warning: don't mix your meds
Robbie in Aurora, CO -I was never told this by my doctor, I had to find out the hard way. When I had a flair up I would start taking indometacin, then when the flair was gone I would immediately start taking my allopurinol. This proved to be a huge mistake. Starting allopurinal and other like drugs right after a flair up can actually make your gout worse. This happened to me.
What you should do is WAIT as much as 10 days after your flair up is gone and especially after using drugs like indometacin. Then start the allopurinol type drugs.
Some great otc help would be: black cherry concentrate, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, drinking tons of water. Things to void, especially during an attack: red meat, alcohol, sea food, mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, cauliflower, soda (diet seems to be OK), and yeast.
Exercise!
However, once you get gout and have had several flair ups they generally never go completely away. Sorry.

Keep yourself hydrated
John in orlando -I have suffered with gout for 20 years. The first time I thought I broke my ankle while I was sleeping. I have tried all cures and remedies but the old saying a ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. One doctor told me Gout is Gods way of telling you to change your lifestyle. Well I took it to heart, the most important thing is Water, keeping yourself Hydrated. If you drink alcohol you dehydrate if you are not hydrated your trigger foods will get you. Your body can't get rid of the excess urice acid and you will suffer. I have found that the best way to keep yourself hydrated is also eating fruit. Fruit also hydrates your system but it also cleanes your body. So the cure is Water and Fruit until pain is gone and never comes back, also put Apple cider vinegar in your water everyday just an ounce to a Liter of water. An Apple a day keeps gout away.

ACV, BBC, CSE, H2O & Bromelain
Crutchless in Miami, FL USA -After reading all the posts and researching online and doing trials, this has worked for me. I am 37 and has had gout for about a year on and off crutches, I was on colchicine, allup. and other drugs which only made me feel sick in the stomach and would give temp relief. On the beginning of Dec I said I would change my ways, well every morning I take 1500mg of celery root extract, 500mg of Bromelain, 24oz of cherry juice with every meal, and a lot of water during the day, and before I go to sleep. 2 teaspoons of ACV in 8oz of water. After about 20 days into this regiment, I can walk without the crutches and can even jog, wow. Even though I feel good, I dare not stop this pill bing lol. All these pills are natural and found in health stores. Hope you can benefit from this as I have.

Natural is best
Lorraine in Denver -I tried allopurinol for 6 weeks and I felt like my body and kidneys were being poisoned. My kidneys hurt so bad and I had extreme fatique during the day as well as depression. I researched a lot and decided to quit taking allopurinol and am taking in capsules 3x/day cherry, tumeric (a fantastic herb used for inflamation and natural cancer curing), vitamin D3, B12, raw brocolli (it works together with the tumeric). melatonin at night to help with sleep, and COq10 for heart health and of course tons of purified water. It makes sense to me to neutralize the acid with baking soda but I have high blood pressure. The next day I had immediate relief on my kidneys, had more energy, and continue to avoid the trigger foods because of the fear of pain. Eating organic is best. I find whey protein shakes with fresh berries and Kefir (a pro-biotic yogurt-like drink) is well tolerated. I make them with non-fat milk. A great dairy for lunch is cottage cheese with pineapple. So far so good! Your body doesn't lie! If you think it causes problems, don't do it! Good luck!

Lingering gout
Raylk in Vancouver bc -My gout flares up everytime I over indulge at the buffets in Vegas. Remedy baking soda and water. Lots of water to flush out the uric acid. Cherry juice, cherry extract, celery seed extract, garlic, gensing, apple cider vinegar and digestive enzymes. Vegan diet - no meat! You may feel multiple " attacks" as when the uric build up dissolves this raises the acidity level in your body until you can flush it out through urination. Also try the chi machine or swing machine to help oxygenate your lower poorer circulation feet and legs. Also if you have a good diet and health but still get gout it may be due to sleep apnea.
