The best and surest way to get rid of it is to flush your body. The cherry juice mentioned is a way of cleansing the kidneys as it makes you want to go.
Drink plenty of water...
Gout is caused by your body being dehydrated.

Agree with Treasure_Hunter, any foods or drinks high in Purine will trigger gout. For me, beer was the trigger so haven't had a beer in 6 years. A drug called Colchicine (can also be called Colcrys) in .6 mg tablets kills my gout when something else triggers it. My Doctor didn't recommend taking Allopurinol daily.

Beer is the biggest offender. Liquor made from grain is a close second.

I used to take Colchicine for flare-ups. It worked a few times then didn't seem to help at all.

I finally started on Allopurinol about two years ago. It took 3 - 4 months for the uric acid to dissipate from my system. I had gout flare-ups in my toes, knees, and hips. As the Allopurinol starts to work it WILL cause flare-ups. It hurts like a son-of-a-gun for a while but you have to stick with it. For me, when it was over, it was over for good. I have not had any flare-ups since.

I will also say that I stopped drinking beer. I'm a tequila guy these days.

You can still eat saltwater fish, just in moderation if it is high in purine. Freshwater fish is pretty much safe.

Mussels, scallops, squid, shrimp, oysters, crab, and lobsters should only be eaten once in a while if you have gout. Alcohol is also bad for gout.

I have been taking Allopurinol for years and it really keeps it at bay! Mine was mostly in my feet. I "sorta" watch my diet, but I still drink beer and eat seafood.

Yep! Thats exactly how it was for me!. Colchicine (anti inflammatory) really helps during the uric acid dissipation.

I have way too much experience with gout, I had suffered with it for over 30 years and I agree with what everybody says about it. I haven't had it now for about a year and a half. About 2years ago I became very sick to the point of almost dying. I started seeing an herbal healer who determined I had a toxic liver. We addressed that with cleanses, accupuncture, numerous herbs and vitamins and avoiding some foods. It was a slow process, but well worth the effort. The liver, kidneys, gall bladder and pancreas all work to eliminate toxins from our body along with the ducts that transport the bad stuff out . The mainstream medical people's answer was to just get on the drug allpurinol everyday for the rest of your life and you can eat or drink whatever you want. That didn't sound like a good option to me. Today I eat and drink pretty much whatever I want in moderation with the exception of bacon and certain sausage and try to make sure my body flushes most of the toxins regularly. I have lost 30 lbs-and no longer have a "beer belly" which I had so much invested in. Years ago colchicine used to be my go to for relief- a bottle of 100 used to be about $10, then the drug co took it off the market, tweaked the formula got a new patent and called it colchris and charge about $7 per pill. It works but it is out of my price range. Now I just try to regulate my body chemistry through healthy eating and drinking and try to stay away from chemical laden foods and beverages. Sugar or sugar substitutes are killers. I still drink beer and wine and eat shellfish and lean red meat all in moderation and I'm 71 years old and take no pharmaceutical medications

 

[nomad 11]

i hate being repetitious but ! is there a blood test to measure this ? and as far as growing old gracefully. i'm loosing my patience. forget it

 

[SeabeeRon]

There are blood/urine tests to check calcium and citric acid levels that contribute to gout flair-ups.

I have been on Alpuronol (sp?) for probably over 20 years and only have occasional flair-ups now.

 

[nomad 11]

Sunflower seeds are low in oxalic acid so they will not cause you a gout flare. Don't mix it with vitamin E.
Try to remember that foods and snacks with high levels of oxalic acid must be avoided if you suffer from gout. Some examples include sesame seeds and pine nuts.

Sunflower seeds are also high in omega 6 fatty acids and as aforementioned vitamin E. When these two are mixed, anti-inflammatory benefits are presented. Sunflower seeds contain 25.000 mg of omega 6 fatty acids which is considered ideal. Too much of these can cause inflammation. Gout is an inflammatory disease, so obviously, anti-inflammatory foods are beneficial.

Some treatment I also recommend is the gin-soaked raisins treatment. I have used it for plantar fasciitis. I was going to have foot surgery because of the pain and nothing I tried worked much. While waiting for the surgery I read about this treatment and thought I would try it as I had nothing to lose, about 3 weeks after starting it all the pain in my heels went away. I had my mother try it for her arthritis in her hands that she suffered from for years, the same thing happen to her, about 3 weeks after starting the pain in her hands went away, and gout is inflammation. What hurt to try and the cost is cheap.

Get a box of golden raisins and a pint of gin with real juniper berries, not juniper flavor, put the raisins in a container and pour the gin over them till they are completely covered, cover them with a piece of cheesecloth or anything you have to keep bugs out but it needs to allow the raisins and gin to breath so don't put them in an airtight container. The alcohol will evaporate in you can start taking them in about 10 days. Take a teaspoon every day.

It is a combination of the sulfur in the golden raisins and the juniper berries in the gin that works. It is a natural anti-inflammatory, juniper berries were used by native Americans for inflamation.

Gin-Soaked Raisins for Arthritis

Raisins soaked in gin is an old folk remedy for arthritis. Some Earth Clinic readers report incredible results from this treatment.
