Hi all

I have gout (diagnose around 4 years ago) and was wandering what other people with gout where eating during a gout flare to make it heal faster.

I know the stuff i need to avoid but what i want to know is the good stuff that will help.

Thanks

    Some of it is trial and error. Have you met with a nutritionist ?

    Read or watch Forks Over KNives. I had terrible gout and pain in my hands even. Changed my lifestyle and the way i eat. No pain anymore!

    My husband was told to eat lots of sour cream on everything.

    Also, since getting on Uloric two years ago, he has had ZERO flareups. It's WORTH the money.

    I did not have gout, but I did have several other issues that this diet has resolved, not the least of which being my weight.

    I have a friend that uses Bing Cherries. Says it helps tremendously

    Cherry juice concentrate is awesome, 2 tsp a day has made remarkable difference in amount of flare ups

    Oh yes there is a juice that is named "Just Black Cherry" and it contains only Black Cherry juice.

    Have a glass every day and that helps too. But, Uloric. Really.
