I was searching for relief from the gout attack that brought me here! Hope you feel better. It's my second one in 6 months. Guess it's time to see the doctor. :(
@@celticwarrior916 thanks, i hope you get some relief too.. this is my first bout in about a year, but it has been going for almost a month.. i found a lead in one of the comments and will try drinking 1.5tsp baking soda in cup of water. many people swear by it so i will try it.
Tip from a fellow Gout sufferer. Treat gout as a food allergy. Keep a food diary and identify your triggers. I found my main trigger was ''wholemeal products'' such as wholemeal bread/biscuits/cookies/pasta and meat that uses bread crumbs as a filler - such as burgers and sausages. I then eliminated them from my diet and have been pain free for the past two years. I am no expert just a fellow sufferer and it worked for me. Stay safe and well people.
@@Staffys4Lyfe Sorry to hear of your distress. Simple answer is I eat and drink everything including alcohol. Treat it as an intolerance to a 'Food' or an 'Ingredient'. My trigger is 'wholemeal flour.' This is going to be rude - so apologies. If you are in pain - the cause is sitting in your system. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE CAUSE. (have a shit). Eventually the pain will ease and disappear BUT may take two - three days. DO NOT EAT THE TRIGGER FOOD AGAIN AS THE PAIN WILL JUST KEEP GOING. Four tablets can help taken together (two paracetamol + two ibuprofen) Do not be tempted to take more than one or two times as these drugs will eventually aggravate the symptoms. Try to fast if you can, and only eat really safe foods. A little breast of chicken or white rice. HOWEVER these foods can be triggers in some individuals so be careful. Everyone is different and will have different triggers eg. (marshmallow/chocolate/seafood/beef all mentioned by some people.) Keep a food diary and I hope you feel better soon. FINALLY - I AM NOT A DOCTOR JUST A FELLOW SUFFERER TRYING TO HELP.
@@Staffys4Lyfe Do a keyword search for "ketogenic diet" and "gout" and you will find the advice you are seeking. The ketogenic diet is high fat, moderate protein, and low carbohydrate (< 20 grams per day of net carbs) diet. Carbs are not your friend. Gout is a metabolic inflammatory response caused by insulin resistance which is in turn caused by high blood sugar which is in turn caused by a diet high in carbohydrates typical of the standard American diet. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, starchy carbs like potatoes, grains (bread, pasta, cereal, white rice), and fruit juice all making the worst of the worst carbs list. Gout is not a stand alone metabolic problem. Gout is a symptom and warning sign of insulin resistance caused by by decades of chronically high blood sugar. If you are suffering from gout you should also become educated and aware of the multitude of interrelated metabolic problems that stem from insulin resistance. Fortunately, the ketogenic diet stops and reverses the problem of insulin resistance and therefore prevents and reverses many of the problems that stem from insulin resistance. I am 57. I was first diagnosed with gout at age 24. I suffered from frequent severe gout attacks for over 30 years until I started the ketogenic diet about 2 years ago. Within a month of starting the ketogenic diet my gout just went away. I stopped taking my gout prevention meds (allopurinol) and have remained gout free for over 2 years. I also lost 45 pounds switching to the ketogenic diet. My experience is quite common and normal for gout sufferers who switch to a ketogenic diet. It has been all upside and no downside for me. The worst thing I can say about the ketogenic diet is that it can be inconvenient and/or expensive when dining out or travelling. Almost impossible to find anything ketogenic at a fast food restaurant. If a restaurant serves anything ketogenic on the menu, it will be offered as a boutique specialty item that is among the priciest items on the menu. I primarily shop at the grocery store and cook at home.
was doing crazy starvation diet for on and off for like past 5 months .. and on day I had a gout or maybe according to doc. He said it’s inflammation but it was very painful. Do you think it will go back to normal once I start eating normally again ?? If it was gout.
@@sanpat2220 Start with 'safe' foods like veg/fruit/fish/chicken/rice and maybe pasta. If OK, add new foods each day or week until you identify your triggers. You need to look at the ingredients as well as the food itself and fluids as colouring and additives may cause a problem. Good luck and stay well my friend.
I’ve noticed that I can almost tell the day before if I’m going to have a flare up. What I’ve done is take some ibuprofen and cherry tart extract and it normally does the trick.
I swear my gout is triggered by high stress. Not just one time, but multiple high stress situations piled up. Another one is exercising, I know it sounds weird but every time I start working out to lose weight (to avoid gout) I end up GETTING A GOUT FLARE! Am I the only one?
You are not the only one. I just had a gout flare. I just had a lot of stress over the multiple things. And I started exercising like rollerblading and lost about 8 pounds. Then I just had a gout flare. Granted I started drinking beer, but not much, two cans a day and smoking a one pack in a week, but I don't think that was the reason. It's weird but I believe sweating a lot by rollerblading and exercise brought on the gout.
Drink lots of water! Very important to avoid and treat flairs. Drink enough water to produce 2 liters of urine. In my opinion staying hydrated is the most important thing you can do
I'm a healthy 37 year old and kept getting gout, no family history. It turns out 1 cup of water a day is not enough for the human body. I started drinking water like a normal person, about 2 liters or so a day, and no more gout.
Yes I’ve researched gout a lot and it is a form of arthritis. I’ve been suffering with gout for about 5 years now. It’s really strange how my gout is triggered. I think the most consistent trigger is high fructose syrup drinks or food. I find stress is also a factor. I’m trying to drink more water to keep my system flushed better. I don’t drink alcohol but I do drink soft drinks too much and so I’m gonna have to remove those from my diet. Gout is very painful. People have ask me to describe it and the best I can come up with is imagine you have a severe burn and a broken bone in the same area. I wish there was a cure because this can really be debilitating and I’ve had to miss work a lot because of gout. Thank you for drawing attention to this horrible ailment.
Avoid too much vitamin C and B3 (niacin) as well. I’m getting my husband on Protandim right now to see if it can activate his cellular healing. God bless🙏🏻💗
My husband triggers are stress and glucose/fructose/carbs. I believe it’s related to being insulin resistance. When my husband went low carb it all cleared no case in over one year. My husband did not over eat any of the foods. The reason beer is a trigger is because it’s high carb that becomes sugar in body and lead to insulin resistance same as fructose. Gout is associated with metabolic syndrome.
beer agree, red meat (in my case i did not noticed), sugar and fructose outside of fruit - 100% yes, spinach - yes only spinach in veggies. seafood maybe.
It's my third time that I have been affected with gout. First and second time,when it happened, there had been a stinging feeling to my big toe, swelling and slight darkening of skin. I took the prescribed medicine and the four was addressed. This is the third time it has been happening, so I did some research and found out that following foods aggravated the issue: 1. Beef 2. Foods with yeast 3. Caffeine (I used to have 3-4 cups of tea with milk) 4. Pulses 5. Branched Chain Amino Acid supplement 6. Whey Protein However, the third time was less severe and quite bearable since I made a few changes to my diet; 1. Started having apple cider vinegar - a teaspoon in a cup of hot water with honey. 3 days a week on an empty stomach. 2. Quarter lemon squeezed into lukewarm water with honey. 4 days a week on an empty stomach. 3. Reduced my caffeine intake to 1 cup per day. 4. Started having fennel and cinnamon tea in the evening to avoid the craving for more caffeine. 5. Increased intake of water, earlier it was 8-9 glasses a day, now it is 11-12. 6. Reduced the intensity of exercise sessions, initially I used to do a 45 minute HIIT, 6 days a week. Afterwards, I tailored the workout to a 30 minute moderate intensity weight training session with an added 4 min TABATA HIIT, 5 days a week with a 30 minute yoga routine on remaining days. 7. Reduced beef intake by 25% per month. I haven't yet taken medicine and feel quite better. P. S. I don't drink alcohol.
Appreciate Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Taparton Leaving Illness Takeover (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for Curing gout minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate finally got excellent results with it.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about - Taparton Leaving Illness Takeover (do a google search)? It is a good exclusive product for Curing gout without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got astronomical success with it.
Cheers for this, been searching for "is gout deadly" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Eiyacob Preliminary Eradicator - (search on google )? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to get rid of gout without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
After about 20 doctors a rheumatologist told me it was the change in uric acid levels that caused gout attacks. The more drastic the change the more likely to get an attack. The really surprising part was that dropping your uric acid levels too quickly can cause attacks.
I've been on 100mg allopurinol for about 5 years. No gout attacks since started. Used to have them about 4 times a year. Was originally on 300mg but I told my doctor I was experiencing slightly "weird" sensations at times. Weird sensations could have been caused by anything, really. Anyway, dialing it back to 100mg did not render it ineffective. I still register 6.0+ on my Uric Acid levels. My Uric Acid came back last month at 7.4. So yeah, makes sense what your Dr is saying. Maybe allopurinol just "stabilizes" the Uric Acid levels where there aren't wild swings. Not necessarily decreasing levels.
I'm 32, I was first diagnosed when I was 23. I've found that for me it's large amounts of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), some beer, fast weight loss (my guess is due to loss of water), and some exercise can trigger it in me as well. I'm one of the people who, unfortunately, have had it consistently since diagnosis. While I don't have attacks often anymore (and god those were the worst when I first was diagnosed), it has left me in a constant state of pain, which I've unfortunately adapted to. I say unfortunate because no one should have to adapt to daily pain.
@Chad, I am so sorry to hear of your pain. People that don't have gout know nothing of extreme pain. I have found that montmorency tart cherry juice concentrate helps me. It does not prevent an attack but it helps keep them from happening. I buy it at Meijer's. It isn't cheap but it makes a lot. I mix about a tablespoon or so in a glass of water. I think its good. I also mix up a jug and add some lemon and sweetener and keep it in the fridge. I haven't had a full blown-can't walk attack in a few years compared to many times a year. I hope you try it and it works. Good luck to you
Sugar is the big one then beer is the next one. It all depends how much you ingest. You can still enjoy these things but you might have to cut back on how much you ingest
My dad has been suffering from gout for years and years. Red meats and beer. He stopped eating shellfish, red meats, breads, everything BUT the booze. So, he would make himself better with garlic and other anti inflammatory foods, and stop drinking and as soon as he felt better he would go back to drinking. Needless to say, the gout spread to the knees, the arms, the hands, the feet, he swells up. My only advice- stop the drinking.
Does he have a good diet? Daily citrus fruits, alkaline mineral water, no juices in cartons, no ice cream, no cakes, no sugary things, no potato crisps? He has to bin it and stay away from steaks.
just putting info out there, not a keyboard gangster. Recently I have backed down the booze and up'd the stealing of the kids OJ in the mornings and organic cherry juice, just mine, no one else likes it (for both the curiousness of the cherries, and I like the glass jars), and I just acquired the worst gout attack to date, for me. In the recent past, I have had flare ups around the ankles (now I understand to be mildly), still able to go to work, slowed the booze, up'd the water, and waited for crystals to dissolve, and could still function. All my mindsets at the time had it under control. Now, age 42, two days ago, middle toes, largest toe joints, went absolutely mad. I am Down, I am Useless, I am pe'ode! Like I said, recently cut back on bad diets just cause I'm a Dad, and need a healthier lifestyle. We ironically had a few seafood dishes back to back last week, I been getting into the forbidden OJ (5 kiddoes under 12 and all mine so I'm told), and my personal cherry juice. BAM!! Can't walk. Am I being punished for changing my diet? Related to the OJ, seafood, and /or alcohol? I use to be sure, now I am not so sure. We are meat eaters, we will continue to eat med-rare steaks regardless of cost. Again. This is my story. Not saying I know anything more or less than anybody else, just adding to the pool. ONLY other thing I want to add is: I have a nurse in the family, I was an Air Ambulance pilot for some time, and I have never seen any of these other Medical Professionals ever agree with each other on much. Pilots don't either. Life's a garden, dig it, do the best you can. I cannot wait to be walking around again. I'm back to a hobble. -ck
Tart Organic Cherry juice. Try it, it works for me from not walking to walking in 12 hours. Drink an entire bottle by drinking a lot of it, then sip til gone, open another and sip til gone. It is a cure for me. 24 hours after it is nonexistent
Beef, pork (bacon, ribs, chops) sucralose, soda, sugar. All of these trigger mine. My gout continued for 2 years before I was diagnosed and given colchicine to cure the attack. I now have permanent damage in my right knee, left ankle and left big toe. To make matters worse I was given an antibiotic AND colchicine to take together and had learned that those two together are deadly
I’m follow a strict ‘plant based diet’ and I still suffer. My triggers are dehydration and when I’m dehydrated even the littlest amount of beer or lager triggers it. I don’t drink alcohol much at all, but when these thing occur BANG! It’s thee most painful thing I’ve ever experienced!! I feel for anyone suffering from gout I really do!
Triggers for me: stress on my feet. Eg. walking a lot, using the rowing machine. After a month long miserable gout attack 3 months ago I made the following changes: - stopped using rowing machine - cut down alcohol - switched BP med from diuretic - drinking lemon water in the morning and hydrating throughout the day - taking vitamin C supplement. So far so good.
My husband has it and it is brought on by stress. He does not eat meat or shellfish , does not drink alcohol or coffee either. He just had major surgery and his gout came on the day before . As he is not allowed strong painkillers when he came back from hospital i tried to give him cherry juice tart from health shop and after drinking it for 8 days (about 6 litres) it went away.
I got the first most painful gout of my life 3 weeks ago. I thought I had broken my ankle. Mine was totally sugar and oatmeal with raisins. 15 years ago I had my first mild case of gout on my big toe. This time for three days I couldn't walk to the horrible pain in my ankle. What helped me was staying away from all the foods that are high in purines. Then for pain and clearing, ibuprofen, sulfer, major water drinking up to 14 cups of lemon water, lowfat milk, coffee, and cherry juice. My blood was just too acidic with too much uric acid. I hope this helps any one with gout.
Abandon: Crab, tuna, pop, red meat, mushrooms, alcohol, and dehydration. If you treat these few items like poison, all other like and kind items will give birth to discretion. There are plenty of other things to eat to choose from. Drink water at an inconvenient rate. Keep tart cherry supplements at the ready and get them on board asap to help mitigate pain. Sorry you're here today. Blessings.
@@g_pazzini Sugary food is fine as long as it's in moderation and balanced with fibre (i.e. fruits), unless you explicitly have a fruit trigger. It's processed foods with added sugar that you need to watch out for.
I have finnally found a cure for me that works in about 8 hours sooner if i can catch it in time: immediately start eating a vegetarians diet during the attack followed by eating lots of fresh pineapples and cherries, the main key is lemon water every hour or so and every 2 hours eat a big chunk of fresh ginger and fresh garlic. Also have several sips of apple cider vinegar. Follow up with staying in bed foot elevated and keep meditating pale green light visualising going thru your feet or effected area. Godbless everyone, love to all.
I found out that when i took ACV and 1 lime/lemon, i started to burp out some weird smell from my stomach. Then my flare gout is gone like an instant 😃. Not really sure what happened but i found out it is interesting. By only ACV or only lime will not have the optimum effect which i tried before.
DEHYDRATION! Number one reason for gout. Also fasting too long causing rapid weight loss EVEN when on a healthy diet. Also the secondary causes are due to the dehydration factor. Alcohol is extremely dehydrating.
@@seanlaskey2873 I meant fasting for days. Intermittent Fasting is fine. Just be sure to s stay well hydrated with lots of WATER. And plenty of sea salt and electrolytes.
Thanks for your input. I have been rollerblading a lot which makes me sweat a lot. I was happy that I lost about 10 pounds. But I was sweating every day and I drank two cans of beers every night for past four weeks . Then I just had gout flare last night after rollerblading. Now, I will make sure that I drink plenty of fluids and cut down on drinking so I will not be subject to extreme dehydration.
I have been in a Keto diet and practicing Intermittent fasting. I got a gout flare. I understand the body in order to get rid of death cells convert them to Uric acid. When you don’t eat enough protein your body consume your muscles protein producing more Uric acid. People with cancer produce a lot of Uric acid due to the amount of death cells.
Interesting comment - From the research ive done is uric acid is made from Purines which is essentially in everything, its the breaking down of DNA. So loosing muscle mass makes sense
I came here because I love Bob and Brad and was hoping they addressed the issue of gout. This is the 2nd attack this year that has hit me in the ankles and left me bed ridden. Thank you all for the suggestions. I'm still not sure what my triggers are, but I'll keep trying to figure it out.
I am a woman who had gout in her mid thirties. It was unbelievably painful. An older co-worker told me it was from what I ate. I tracked it down to MEAT! Now I never have problems with gout, focusing more on eggs, rice, vegs., and fruit. Trust what you eat.

From my experience... what triggered gout for me is dehydration, which messes up your kidneys due to a lack of water and something else... And the the second problem is that drinking water does not solve the problem. Here is why, it is an electrolyte imbalance!! When I work outdoors intensively I sweat profusely and few days after it shows up. When I replenish my electrolytes, it does not show up. For examples the MIO water enhancer with electrolytes :) Cheers
Yes, I noticed being dehydrated and then eating a heavy, salty meal… right afterwards I swell up in my toes and calves then my fingers and wrists. Not good .
I just experienced my first gout attack. Im very strict as an eater and I know that I incorporated red meat into my diet when I moved out west 3yrs ago. Before that I ate a lot of chicken n veggies. Im a NON-drinker, no significant sweets or fructose. Im into fitness so it was a set back. Im backing out the red meat as I believe this has direct correlation to MY gout flare up. From my research n dissecting the large amount of conflicting information, Ive instituted organic tart cherry juice, use of dark cherries in a smoothie, turmeric with high level curcuminoids n low/no fat dairy and nuts and seeds. Hoping this mitigates the chance of a flare up. Strength n luck to all those that have suffered this Excruciatingly painful condition 💪🏼
Asparagus caused my first gout bout. Now, I can feel an attack coming. I drink lots of water, take Advil and eat dried cherries. It works for me. Oh, and I stretch the affected joint. And ice afterwards.
My big toe joint pain seems more consistent, and doesn't really flare up or ache as bad as it sounds like some folks does. And rubbing that joint, particularly the top side is where and when I'll really feel it.
Dehydration, sugar, too high carbs and lack of vegetables has done it for me at the moment. So painful from the big toe to the ankle. Thank you so much for your video.
Well I eat no cards,drink 2 litres of water,absolutely no sugar,plenty of vegetables,fish,and no red meats and I just got a bad attack that i ended up in hospital. Go figure.
Having a gout episode right now. Am a teetotaler and vegetarian. So Gout doesn't discriminate 😀. My triggers, my guess - dehydration, stress and lack of walking
I am having my second battle with a acute gout attack. The first time was painful, but 5 years later this gout attack the pain has been unbearable. I have it in my ankle and know most of my foot has become numb. I was drinking nothing, but soda and I am sure that is what brought it on.
Beer and shellfish are the killers for me. There are a few prescribed meds that really help. To end flare ups quickly, I’ve had success taking both colchicine as well as separately taking indomethacin. Besides changing your diet and eating habits, allopurinol can be taken as a preventative to help control your uric acid levels.
I’m currently going through a bout with gout. 1st time ever in my knee. Going on my 4th week as it moves to different locations. Dr prescribed allopurinol 300 6yrs ago. I’m also on colchicine .6mg and norco’s. I received my 1 cortisone shot ever to relieve some swelling that slowly worked after a week. Still can’t put any weight on it. I noticed years ago organ meats set it off, due to reoccurring bouts at around Thanksgiving, organs in gravy..... also from brined turkey. I do believe after 3 years w/o issue this case was caused by dehydration(heat exhaustion) with a couple ice cold Gatorade’s which I haven’t had in years. This is the 2 case I’ve had that has lasted multiple weeks, one lasted 2 1/2 months, bout was so bad a powdery substance formed outside on my skin, dr suggested crystallization. Not fun in any way, wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Thanks for hearing my story. PS, I’ve tried all the remedies cherries, cherry juice, alkaline drinks, cbd’s, essential oils and I even purchased an ice man power pump for long term chilling. Cbd’s and the constant icing have helped the most.
Mine moves down from one of my knees into the toe on the same foot and then crosses over to the other foot and up to the knee. Often in one of my elbows all at the same time. It usually takes more than a month. I don't get much sleep.
Stop all fruit consumption for at least three weeks and you may be surprised with the results. It is fructose the main cause of gout. Stop listening to doctors who all they really want is to increase their wealth at the expense of our health.
So I was actually Diagnosed at 19 as having Gout. I'm now 31 and have had many flares through out the year, but its interesting to hear others stories and what triggers theirs. When I first went to the doctors, they gave me 3 full pages of foods I was to avoid, over time I found my Trigger foods and honestly because of the pain I just avoid them all together. Red meat is on the list but I eat alot of red Meat daily(Cow) and I'm fine, If I eat Deer, my gout will flare up, if I eat Pork, that night my gout will flare up. I can't eat seafood any more, but I found that I can eat tilapia and be ok. Nuts I avoid all together as well. If I eat Almonds it will flare up, but Almond milk I'm fine. I can't eat peanuts or peanut butter any more.. I have definitely done alot of research on this matter, but each person is different to and extent. I also found that the Hops in beer is what causes that to be so bad, but liquor doesn't affect me.
Bradley, do a keyword search for "ketogenic diet" and "gout" and you will see that a ketogenic diet is a highly effective non-medical dietary approach to preventing gout and a host of other interrelated metabolic problems stemming from insulin resistance. The ketogenic diet is a high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate diet (< 20 grams per day of net carbs). Carbs are not your friend with with high fructose corn syrup, sugar, grains (wheat, corn, rice), starchy vegetables like potatoes, and fruit juice (orange, apple, etc.) all making the worst of the worst list of carbs. Gout is a metabolic inflammatory response caused by insulin resistance which is in turn caused by years of chronically high blood sugar, which is in turn caused by a high daily intake of carbohydrates typical of the standard American diet. Gout is not a stand alone medical problem. Gout is a both symptom and a warning sign of insulin resistance. If you are suffering from gout, you should become educated and aware of the multitude of metabolic problems that stem from insulin resistance. Fortunately, the ketogenic diet stops and reverses the problem of insulin resistance and therefore prevents and reverses many of the problems that stem from insulin resistance. I am 57. I was first diagnosed with gout at age 24. I suffered from frequent severe gout attacks for over 30 years until I started the ketogenic diet about 2 years ago. Within a month of starting the ketogenic diet my gout just went away. I stopped taking my gout prevention meds (allopurinol) and have remained gout free for over 2 years. I also lost 45 pounds switching to the ketogenic diet. My experience is quite common and normal for gout sufferers who switch to a ketogenic diet. Oddly, many of the trigger foods you listed are are highly recommended on a ketogenic diet. Carbohydrates are the root cause of chronically high blood sugar leading to insulin resistance and gout. If you were to switch to a ketogenic diet you may find you are able to go back to enjoying the foods you listed as trigger foods.
@@fattofitguy I'm doing great, I maybe have 1 flare up a year now, sometimes not for a for years in-between attacks. I watch what I eat, and take cherry Tart pills twice a day, and if I feel a attack coming on ill add potassium citrate powder. Stops it cold
Lovely sense of humor but "best video ever made about gout" is funnier than the sense of humor. Learned absolutely zero more than what we already know.
I'm a physically fit male with hereditary gout; my father, brother & son have it. I recently experienced a 2 week gout attack in the big toe following 9 gout free years. I did a complete analysis of everything I ate in the week leading up to the attack. I like to eat healthy & had several high protein 'Quorn' vegetarian meals. The weather was hot & I failed to increase my fluid intake. I should have seen the first warning signs when I noticed that my pee was frothy. This is a sign of protein in the urine & kidneys under stress. Some research revealed 'Quorn' contains high levels of Mycoproteins which are high in purines & this elevated my uric acid levels. The week ended at a friend's BBQ where I ate sausages, burgers & several grain based ales. This was the trigger to already elevated levels of uric acid, a perfect storm! At 2am the following morning my big toe was pounding! If I were to give any advice on 9 gout free years it would be everything in moderation & drink at least five pints of water per day to flush uric acid out of the body! I will never be so complacent again!
@@frankayala3950 Hi Frank, I always aim to drink up to 4 pints of water a day & limit alcohol to the occasional unit or two. I have also been trying apple cider vinegar for liver health. I'm looking forward to another long gout free run but remain far more alert to the early signs of a random attack.
Low thyroid levels can cause gout, that is what did it in me. When your thyroid level drops it slows down your metabolism. It’s the mechanism that animals use to hibernate . When your metabolism drops your kidneys stop working as good as they should. This causes a build up of uric acid.in the blood and gout will start up. With me it’s in all my joints not just one or two. I take levothyroxin every day as my immune system killed my thyroid. If the doctors try to decrease the amount of meds I am on the uric acid starts climbing and the gout starts up. SO, if you have gout have your thyroid checked.
Black cherries seem to help gout. Eating no meats or sugars helps as well when there’s flare ups. Apple cider vinegar, turmeric , cbd oil... I have clients with gout- they say carbs- meats- rich fishes like salmon, sugars all give them gout flare ups. Never massage gout. I do send love energy into the area.
I don't drink alcohol I drink 5 to 8 glasses of water I eat 3 times, I'm vegetarian I have moderate psoriasis For the first time, I feel this gout pain. I had a little pain I went for a walk and at night it started paining like hell.
First got gout about 10 years ago after having a large piece of liver in a diner in Albany, NY. Couldn't believe the pain and thought I had kicked the end of the bed during the night. Haven't had liver since, I also get triggered by OJ particularly the stuff they serve in hotels at breakfast. Was prescribe Alupurinol but didn't seem to work as effectively as taking some Ibuprofen when I get the first twinge of a flair up.
Tart Cherry Extract, Celery Seed Extract, and two times a week a Glass of water with Baking Soda, a Great Help. I had Gout every 2 or 3 Weeks, Beer did me in. Certain Foods would Get Me, Sugar makes Uric Acid twice as Much as anything Else. I`ve had Gout for 35 years, also there`s a Hereditary Factor. Make the changes if your as Tired of Gout as I was. Good Luck.
So, is there a way to monitor your uric acid levels? I'm hearing they can't be to high or to low. How do you actually know where your balance is before the attack? And, by the way thanks for the information as usual.
My first attack came when I was in the hospital for pancreatitis. My feet swelled up and it was painful. Turns out I had my first case.of gout. I've had flare ups ever since. I'm an alcoholic, so mine are due to drinking. The most recent one came after three days of no drinking and bam!! Gout flare up. I can thankfully walk this time and am able to work while sitting. I'm only 38.
Turkey, drinking alcohol multiple days in a row, seafood with high purines all seem to trigger gout. I also get a gout flare up in an area where I get an injury. Gout seems to follow and flare up that area where I get an injury at.
I have that same issue with a flare up occurring at the site of a previous injury. In fact that’s how I first got diagnosed was after an injury to my big toe that never seemed to heal.
Have suffered from gout for many years. I have recently changed to a vegan plant based diet but this is not preventing attacks! I drink minimal alcohol and a lot of water but I do also drink fizzy soft drinks daily which is most likely the trigger
My number one is soda. I did a test after not having soda for a year, had ZERO gout flare ups during that time, I drank 2 cans of soda in one day. The next day I had a massive flare up. I always get gout in my toes like most people. I recognized that my toes would turn purple after sitting in a chair for periods of time. My wife suggested I purchase a pair of leg massager and best compression socks to help circulation. I can now drink soda and pretty much anything I want, at a reasonable level, as long has I wear my socks on those days. Zero flare ups. I don’t take alopurinal or anything anymore. They have been a a Godsend!
For me it was Hydrochlorothiazide for my High blood pressure I Tapperd myself off that med lost weight started taking Celery Seed Extract and a Vitamin C supplement... Nomore attacks..Also 2 tablle spoons Raw Apple 🍎 Vinager and lemon juice in lots of water a day
A month ago I had a severe attack of Gout in the toes, and ankles on both legs, and in the knee on the left leg, Was not able to walk for some days. Was hospitalised for about ten days. I now hav made a total change in my food supplies. It's terrible pain.
I'm female and developed gout in my big toe at age 22. I've looked at the inflammatory food list. I don't eat hardly any refined carbohydrates, I avoid sugar (have never been a soda drinker), eat red meat about once or twice a week at the most, rarely have shrimp or shellfish of any sort, I don't consume margarine or shortening, don't eat fried foods (I'm gluten free besides), can't eat french fries (my body retains too much of the potassium in potatoes), and I eat all the anti-inflammatory foods that I can (that I'm not allergic to). Mostly I've been eating a Mediterranean diet my entire adult life.
Only 20% with increased uric acid levels experience gout pain.. In other words the human body is designed to tolerate uric acid crystals anyway.. Therefore I don't believe the crystals are the real reason.. Instead a LACK of certain elements could cause these crystals to become harmful.. Think of something like: "crystals to X" ratio.. Just like the oil in the engine that prevents the heat of elements rubbing with each other.. Excessive meat could be depleting or blocking this X that normally would avoid the gout pain.. Scientists must find what X is and raise or restore that instead of trying to reduce uric acid.. Maybe X is "cortisol" and pain starts especially when there is an excessive cortisol drop in the body based on chronic stress and that shows itself mostly at nights, maybe X is a certain vitamin, a certain mineral.. Maybe X is "water".. Just thinking out loud.. Orthodox studies always focus on isolating the suspected elements... But Isolation kills the idea how the micro elements in our bodies interact with each other.. It ignores the mechanism as a whole which if they were included could have changed the research outcome drastically.. My two cents.. Peace.. Out ✌
I have a number of things that might cause my gout attacks. I think stress has a lot to do with causing gout. Dehydration, beer, eating ham, Processed lunch meats. Fasting can cause gout. Any change in your diet can raise uric acid in your blood.
Gout flares can also be triggered when your uric acid level is decreasing...that’s why when starting medications many people get gout flares. If you are hydrating and cutting out trigger foods, for me it’s soda, and have a flare hopefully it is from decreasing uric acid levels.
Gout, I have had a few times, even in my knees and shoulders. I took Tart Cherrie extract 4 times a day for 3 days and the Gout all left. This is an old remedy and worked well for me. Drinking Coffee also helps.
I'm 54 just got gout overnight. Doc started me on Colchine. Pharmacy gave me an antidepressant by misstake. All sorted now and pain is much less after just 4 doses. Great ideas and also in comments section. I had been eating lots of Salmon, Sardines and other high purine food thinking I was getting healthier. I lost 6 stone on keto and OMAD and then put 4 back on when I relaxed that routine of weighing myself every morning and drinking up to 4 litres of water a day. My body giving me a message now.
I barely eat sugar, don't drink alcohol and eat meat about once a week. I still have gout. My rheumatologist believes it's a simple case of my kidney doesn't break down purine normally. My flare-ups seem pretty random since I barely consume some trigger food but eat others (broccoli, tofu, fungi) almost daily. It doesn't seem related to my food consumption :/ I would say food that dehydrates you seems to be more likely to trigger a flare-up (e.g. red meat, organ meat etc.). So water seems to be the key. There are inexpensive medications available out there with little side effects so if you are consistent with your meds you should be fine. I do live in a country with universal healthcare so the price thing may be different for peeps in the US tho.
@@arynayalawolf2863 I want to say yes but I've always been drinking a lot of water. That's what you should do anyway. Another thing I forgot to mention in my OP is salt. Breaking down salt takes a lot of water from your system.
I've had very rare gout attacks for a few years now. I believe it's mostly stress that causes mine to flare up as I can go a few months changing very little what I eat and one appears out of nowhere, but always at a time when a new stress gets introduced to my life. I think not getting enough sleep helps them start up too. I've tried everything to get them to stop too (tart cherries, tons of water etc) and the only thing that's consistent is colchicine. I take 2 pills and it's gone about 4 hours later, I don't need the 3rd pill like it says on the instructions. Also, I'm curious how many people take Metoprolol and have gout attacks.. it'd be an interesting thing to do a study on.
I take Metoprolol and now you mention it I took a double dose because my heart was racing and I wanted to shock it back to normal and I got the gout attack right away.
Right in the middle of a gout attack in my ankle after a period of retrocalcaneal bursitis, if find I have 2 triggers. First is trauma, if my feet get knocked/hurt then gout will flare up the next day, the second is Aspartame in drinks, if I mistakenly drink anything with this in I won’t be able to walk the next day
My brother and I (female) both have gout flares. His triggers are shrimp and Brussel sprouts. My flares started when I was in my 50s. I have not been able to determine my triggers, but at times I think it's dehydration and/or high fructose corn syrup and/or red meat. Mostly get it in big toe joint but occasionally at base of other toes as well. Horribly painful!
When I first had gout, My trigger was organ meats as I was on vacation overseas. I am currently on another attack and after thinking about it for so long as to what triggered it, I think its mushrooms, peas, soda(high-fructose corn syrup), and meats. But the most MaJor one has got to be dehydration! Mine is on the right big toe then transfers over to right ankle. Pain is so severe and debilitating, had to use a cane
I first got gout as 34 yr old woman, healthy lifestyle, pescatarian low BMI no soda etc- other than 3-5 drinks a weeks I did not partake in obvious triggers. BUT I believe my gout is affected largely by genetics, all of my grandparents suffered from gout before they were 65+ and my triggers seemed to be not consuming enough water (dehydration) and being on my feet for longer than 6 hours. If I have a lobster roll and a beer I know I have to stay off my feet. I have found relief with using a Cannabis lotion (1:1 CBD/THC ratio) as soon as I get the telltale sign of a hot itchy tender spot somewhere on my foot I massage the lotion in, this seems to help a lot.
I just wanted to send my update to my gout experiences. I have not had a drop of alcohol in 15 years so that's out. So I still got gout from something. I made a tough choice in eating so I became a dietary vegan. Well my gout attacks almost stopped. Now I found that I also needed to stop eating processed foods and go with whole foods to become gout free. I have been advised that I have way too high iron in my blood and that was a trigger for my gout. So I do still easy vegan and at the age of 51 I have so much less pain in my joints all together. Food was my trigger and for me, whole food plant based lifestyle was my solution.
haven't had a gout attack in years. I got rid of everything that had yeast in is. Bread, beer, alcohol, ect. Also I cut out all sugar. I think now that I am doing a Keto/Carnivore diet and not had any attacks in a year and a half is nothing that causes inflammation. Hope this helps. Oh ya I got my first case of gout when in my early 30's.
Decrease the level of uric acid in your blood with nettle Nettle helped lower the level of uric acid in the blood and promote his elimination. ruclips.net/video/3nQ5_ZHjsgM/видео.html
I went on a huge binge of drinking soda that did include high fructose corn syrup, but it was so delicious (Ginger beer) I lost control. After drinking so much of it, I had my first intensely painful flare up and was diagnosed with gout.
This is when mine started! I’m 23 and last year I started the Keto diet and I swear this is what causes these flares even after stopping the high fat low carb. 3 times so far. My ankles and knees just ache!! I recently have had a lot of stress and started drinking massive amounts of cranberry juice? Wondering if that caused this round of pain 😟
Feeling the same but have been eating shrimp, cauliflower, and asparagus. Also not drinking much water. No electrolytes which I think are very important with keto. Ordered some natural pills for gout online.
In a food processor chop up 1 Cucumber with peel 1 pineapple without peel 1 grapefruit without peel or pith 2 inches fresh ginger(not ginger powder) Thereafter blend in a blender and add 300ml water. Drink one or two small glasses a day before morning meals and before evening meals. Watch what triggers it. If it has started already take Colchicine and anti- inflammatory Continue drinking until it is finished. You should have relief for at least 2 months. Repeat this before you get another attack.
I'm in India and can tell you about the foods in our diet that can trigger an attack and / or raise uric acid levels further: Alcohol in all forms Fermented foodstuffs Chickpeas and most other lentils and most of the pulses Red meat, seafood (in fact, all non vegetarian food) Some vegetables eg cauliflower, spinach, beetroot, fresh peas, mushrooms, broccoli and a few others High fat milk and high fat dairy products ...... and the list goes on and on. It is better to check on the internet about whatever food one intends to eat, whether it is permitted or not. The motto should be a focus on * adequate hydration * diet control * regular exercise
I notice that mine acts up mostly when dehydrated. I can have the typical trigger foods and drinks with no issues provided I'm drinking plenty of water consistently.
I have osteoarthritis, especially in my knee. When I went on the keto diet, I had a "bout of gout" . I tried several months later to go on the keto diet again, and again I had a gout flare-up. Don't know what part of the diet causes this, but I am avoiding this diet.
Causes: Meat, of any kind, and even fish. Whole food plant based diet is the best way of eating for lowering inflammation, uric acid and preventing gout.
Carnivore diet helped me. No more inflammation in my body. My gut is free of poisons. No more arthritis in my arms. Which in turn helped my carpal tunnel because I have no inflammation in my arms and hands. The blood flow is so much better. It doesn't get rid of the carpal tunnel but its like I hardly have it at all. My psoriasis is gone completely and my joints don't hurt at all. I feel like I walk on clouds and have so much energy. Sleeping like a baby as well. My clean gut is the key to my overall well being.
Yes, low carb or no carb has helped many with gout and other metabolic syndrome symptoms; yet the conventional wisdom for gout still focuses on eliminating all meat and eating a plant-based diiet loaded with metabolized sugars. Go figure.
Gout comes from eating wrong types of food. I had severe inflammation swollen knuckles. I just changed my diet. I did a detox. Stopped eating all acidic foods all meat,cheese, eggs, milk, sugar, junk fast food, fried food. No soda, no coffee, no pizza no ice cream etc! All high fatty acids. Went on a whole plant based diet. I did juicing all homemade fresh juices, then vegetables juices. Then eating fresh made salads all green veggies with colorful high antioxidants veggies. Eating the rainbow of veggies fresh homemade. Then fresh made veggie soups, legumes. I also used to suffer from skin eczema also. Believe me, it cleared up too. All diseases come from eating junk food. Being vegan it’s where it’s at.
@Vamps Belial there's a successful you tube channel called "Rob Stuart" where the dude also had eczema, and claims to have cleared it up by going 100% carnivore diet. He tracked his progress and offers a lot of diet advice.
My first time getting gout, I’m a woman and 61. I read that shrimp and clams and mussels can be a trigger, well we were at the ocean and I had shrimp three times and clam chowder twice. It sure was good but now my big toe joint hurts like crazy! I’ll limit myself next time. Hope this is the first and last time!
Londoj823. As I don’t know which country you are in, I’m sure if brand names will help. I am in Ontario, Canada and purchase ‘natural Factors’ super strength red Cherry Concentrate at the health food store. The Cherry Concentrate is what you are after. I was told that I had gout but that it wasn’t all that bad, although the pain was. At the beginning I was taking 1000mg day until the pained went away and now one 500mg capsule a day . I do not remember why I started to take the same with the blue berry capsules. May not have been with the gout problem, may have been leg cramps but I do much better with both. I find them a little bit pricey but still less than prescriptions without the chemicals. The labels say to clear it with your doctor first (other meds) but I didn’t as I take none. You may also want to look up the gout diet if you haven’t already. I was very surprised at what was on there. Most people just say meat and red wine, no no. Good luck with the red cherry concentrate.
Beer triggers my gout. My sensitivity to it gets worse as I age. Beans don't seem to trigger it. I ran an experiment with a beans and rice diet for 3 months. I even went on a Ketogenic diet with meats and fish for a few months and no gout.
Cured my gout by adopting a ketogenic diet and intermittent/extended fasting. Sugar and grains are inflammatory. Get rid of them. And gut health -- critical. ACV and probiotic daily.
Question about your keto diet-do you have a person you go to for help (like a keto dietician)? I've been watching Dr. Eric Berg's channel and it all seems so overwhelming, but the comments from everyone tell me that keto is the way to go. But I definitely need someone's help in getting started with it. I can't seem to find anyone in my area who could direct me on this lifetime diet change. The intermittent fasting is surprisingly not so tough for me, it's just finding the right foods. There aren't any farmer's markets in my area for me to get organic foods, either. :c(
@@cish6047 Berg is a quack chiropractor. Keto long term (especially not plant-based) is a terrible idea for long term arterial and overall health, and is unsustainable on our planet. Check out Pam Popper's channel, she cuts through the BS, and also the Nutritionfacts.org channel. Also check out Red Pill Vegan on keto.
@@dannyspitzer1267 Wow..I like Dr Bergs video's although I don't know hardly anything about Keto so I don't really watch his Keto video's but I watch his other video's and their quite informative. I'll check out the video's you suggested. Thanks
@@buckie48192 Gout is caused by metabolic syndrome, which is primarily the result of too much sugar, which is formed from carbs, and results in many problems, such as high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, obesity and gout. Keto advises getting no more than 5-10% of your calories from carbs. It has helped many people reduce and eliminate gout attacks and get off medication. Further, many others now are on the Carnivore diet and eating zero carbs and getting all their nutrients from animal products. Don't buy into the meat is bad from conventional wisdom and vegans. Plants do not supply bioavailable nutrients to the human body and they contribute in a big way to the increase of blood sugar from the spikes in insulin needed by the body to process it. Check out Dr. Ken Berry, an MD in clinical practice in TN, who covers diet and includes several videos on gout. He has a popular RUclips channel.
I am 33 years old Been getting gout attacks say 4 x minor each year and maybe 1 or 2 bad ones The first attacks I ever had were the worse was once on crutches I find directly applied ice pack, and say 400mg anti inflammatorys help Stress / dehydration and hot feet bring it on I also think sugary drinks and beers too - the key is dehydration and hot feet for me
I want to share my experience about gout since I have it from 1990 until now, well what can i say :D but i success to reduce that very super painful gout attack, with not consume red meat, pork, seafood (squid, crabs, shrimp and other with high purines). I only consume chicken meat, fish with low purine category, lamb meat without its fat. don't drink beer, and other alcohol thing, especially with yeast in it, alcohol & yeast is forbidden. Sweet fructose syrup, yes, avoid any food/drink that contain high sugar level such like coca cola, soft drinks, power drinks, etc. take high dosage of vitamin C, I take 1000 mg every day with drink plenty of water, how plenty of water here's the formula : your weight x 30 ml = ..... cc/day. My weight 88 kg that means must drink : 88 kg x 30 ml = 2,64 Liter water minimum, if in sick condition and must take medicine, must drink more than 2,64 liter per day. Also the best way is losing weight, but be careful not to fast, because too fast losing weight can trigger the gout attack. for green vegetables , I avoid spinach, cabbage, asparagus, Kailan, red beans (don't eat at all) , Kale. For fruit I avoid eating jack fruit, durian. Well, if you guys want to ask about gout, feel free to contact me, I'd love to share ^_^ . Cheers ^_^
Thank you. I've had gout for 15 year's now. Sometimes it last up to 2 weeks. Jw does your gout ever jump bad. Mine does starts at right foot & goes to knee. I can feel it bad in my ligaments
@@tristansa5177 In my experience, avoid foods containing high levels of sugar and salt. little protein is needed. to avoid gout, we must continue to observe, if possible recorded per day, what we eat. Later we will know what foods our bodies avoid. because everyone is different in this case of gout. Red beans can quickly cause gout to me, but not necessarily to you. Maybe you can understand what I mean
I just got diagnosed with gout in the usual big toe joint. Geez it hurt like hell and I thought my toe was broken or dislocated! Could barely walk! I also have finger joint and elbow soreness. It is a mystery how this has happened though. I have been a vegetarian for around 3yrs so I eat a lot of vegetables, eat fish, drink a lot of spring water and the occasional iced tea (no corn syrup listed in the ingredients). I don’t drink alcohol. I do also eat grains. I like a lot of salt on my food. I have a kidney stone and I’m on the borderline of diabetes. Now the slow process of eliminating different foods from my diet to see what the culprit is. 😞
Just at tail end of my first attack which has lasted two weeks...probably acute pain for at least 4 or 5 days. Many sleepless nights. And trying to get my head around what changes are necessary. While I ate all the healthy stuff, I also had a lot of potential triggers. I have stopped drinking alcohol. And eating red meat and fish (at least while attack in progress). Cutting back on fructose and sugars (life-long sweet tooth). Looking out for yeast. Basically stripped out all of the stuff I love from my diet :( But there is a lot of contradictory and hard-to-verify info....esp anecdotal. And, in the end, it's possible diet may not be that important at all.
Just saw this video. I follow Bob and Brad but hadn't seen this video yet. I take allopurinol (prescription drug) which cuts way back on the gout attacks, but they still occur every few months. I found that if i also take some form of cherry (fresh, juice or capsule) with the allopurinol that i can usually expect to have an attack only about every year or year and one half...I ran out of the cherry capsules i take about a month ago and kept forgetting to pick some up at the vitamin store...sure enough, last week i got gout in my left knee...Cherries are a miracle drug to help prevent gout. If you have severe gout like me you should consider getting a prescription from your Doc for allopurinol as well.
I’ve given up red, meat and shellfish but really think canned fruit and sweets contribute to gout. My gout attacks affects ligaments and tendons and last for 6 months or when I realize that the pain is gout vs joint pain.
I didn't know foods could aggravate gout! I heard cherries (not maraschino cherries) keep gout at bay. I know that's not what Bob wanted from us, but that's all I know about a 'bout of gout'.
I’m relatively new to this, and haven’t identified my triggers. When it first hit me I thought I had to give up sugar. Being addicted to candy this resolve didn’t last long, but I haven’t had a second flare up. When it seemed like I might have a second one I consumed a lot of canned cherries and cherry juice which stopped it. Someone told me the Uric acid crystals are like spiky balls that cause irritation, and that cherry juice dulls or removes the spikes. I think stress is a major contributor, another may be underlying digestive issues. I’m wondering if increasing pH should be a critical component of gout treatment.
I’ve been dealing with gout for 15 years Back in September 2021 I watched The Game Changers on Netflix and then read The China Study. I decided to stop eating all meats and eat a vegetarian diet. I have yet to have an attack in the 6 months since and attribute this to abstaining from all meats
My triggers: - High-Calorie intake - Weight gain - Weight loss - Prolonged fasting - Dry fasting - Organ meat - Fish - Stress and staying up late Things help me manage:- - Drinking plenty of water - Increase vegetables (potassium and magnesium) - Working out Medicines that help reduce the pain but I hate taking them because of the risks of side effects: - Colchicine - NSAIDs Traditional Medicine that works wonders and I love: - Wet cupping (Hijama)
Thanks a lot for all the information, I’m currently having a gout attack for the past 3 days and it’s getting worst, just before the attack I was eating large quantity red meat 3-4 times a week such as lamb shish and lamb koftee and I think this has triggered gout.
those foods are on many lists for triggers. i would suggest ibuprofen to quiet the radiation and bring down the pain a little. if u can get allopurenol from a doctor that would be the best. it acts like a everyday allergy pill. won't stop gout from ever happening again, but will prolong the time it happens. i've had gout for 7years. this crap hurts and there is no stopping it because there is no 1 trigger
Many of the foods and beverages people have mentioned do increase uric acid. However, the biggest trigger for a gout attack is dehydration. If you want to prevent gout attacks, get into the habit of drinking lots and lots of water. Every you pass the sink, have another glass….
anyone else having a gout attack while watching?
I was searching for relief from the gout attack that brought me here! Hope you feel better. It's my second one in 6 months. Guess it's time to see the doctor. :(
@@celticwarrior916 thanks, i hope you get some relief too.. this is my first bout in about a year, but it has been going for almost a month.. i found a lead in one of the comments and will try drinking 1.5tsp baking soda in cup of water. many people swear by it so i will try it.
Yes
@@celticwarrior916 same wierd
Yes
Tip from a fellow Gout sufferer. Treat gout as a food allergy. Keep a food diary and identify your triggers. I found my main trigger was ''wholemeal products'' such as wholemeal bread/biscuits/cookies/pasta and meat that uses bread crumbs as a filler - such as burgers and sausages. I then eliminated them from my diet and have been pain free for the past two years. I am no expert just a fellow sufferer and it worked for me. Stay safe and well people.
Can you share your diet please..like what do you eat now.. please I need advice badly..
@@Staffys4Lyfe Sorry to hear of your distress. Simple answer is I eat and drink everything including alcohol. Treat it as an intolerance to a 'Food' or an 'Ingredient'. My trigger is 'wholemeal flour.' This is going to be rude - so apologies. If you are in pain - the cause is sitting in your system. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE CAUSE. (have a shit). Eventually the pain will ease and disappear BUT may take two - three days. DO NOT EAT THE TRIGGER FOOD AGAIN AS THE PAIN WILL JUST KEEP GOING. Four tablets can help taken together (two paracetamol + two ibuprofen) Do not be tempted to take more than one or two times as these drugs will eventually aggravate the symptoms. Try to fast if you can, and only eat really safe foods. A little breast of chicken or white rice. HOWEVER these foods can be triggers in some individuals so be careful. Everyone is different and will have different triggers eg. (marshmallow/chocolate/seafood/beef all mentioned by some people.) Keep a food diary and I hope you feel better soon. FINALLY - I AM NOT A DOCTOR JUST A FELLOW SUFFERER TRYING TO HELP.
@@Staffys4Lyfe Do a keyword search for "ketogenic diet" and "gout" and you will find the advice you are seeking. The ketogenic diet is high fat, moderate protein, and low carbohydrate (< 20 grams per day of net carbs) diet. Carbs are not your friend.
Gout is a metabolic inflammatory response caused by insulin resistance which is in turn caused by high blood sugar which is in turn caused by a diet high in carbohydrates typical of the standard American diet. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, starchy carbs like potatoes, grains (bread, pasta, cereal, white rice), and fruit juice all making the worst of the worst carbs list. Gout is not a stand alone metabolic problem. Gout is a symptom and warning sign of insulin resistance caused by by decades of chronically high blood sugar. If you are suffering from gout you should also become educated and aware of the multitude of interrelated metabolic problems that stem from insulin resistance. Fortunately, the ketogenic diet stops and reverses the problem of insulin resistance and therefore prevents and reverses many of the problems that stem from insulin resistance.
I am 57. I was first diagnosed with gout at age 24. I suffered from frequent severe gout attacks for over 30 years until I started the ketogenic diet about 2 years ago. Within a month of starting the ketogenic diet my gout just went away. I stopped taking my gout prevention meds (allopurinol) and have remained gout free for over 2 years. I also lost 45 pounds switching to the ketogenic diet. My experience is quite common and normal for gout sufferers who switch to a ketogenic diet.
It has been all upside and no downside for me. The worst thing I can say about the ketogenic diet is that it can be inconvenient and/or expensive when dining out or travelling. Almost impossible to find anything ketogenic at a fast food restaurant. If a restaurant serves anything ketogenic on the menu, it will be offered as a boutique specialty item that is among the priciest items on the menu. I primarily shop at the grocery store and cook at home.
was doing crazy starvation diet for on and off for like past 5 months .. and on day I had a gout or maybe according to doc. He said it’s inflammation but it was very painful. Do you think it will go back to normal once I start eating normally again ?? If it was gout.
@@sanpat2220 Start with 'safe' foods like veg/fruit/fish/chicken/rice and maybe pasta. If OK, add new foods each day or week until you identify your triggers. You need to look at the ingredients as well as the food itself and fluids as colouring and additives may cause a problem. Good luck and stay well my friend.
Anyone else here in intense pain from gout right now?
YES
My god... me too
@@debragodwin7408 Get lots of celery and blend it with ginger and half a lemon or lime to get rid of gout within days.
Celery & Black cherry juice does wonders and almost immediately gets rid of the pain.
I’ve noticed that I can almost tell the day before if I’m going to have a flare up. What I’ve done is take some ibuprofen and cherry tart extract and it normally does the trick.
I swear my gout is triggered by high stress. Not just one time, but multiple high stress situations piled up. Another one is exercising, I know it sounds weird but every time I start working out to lose weight (to avoid gout) I end up GETTING A GOUT FLARE! Am I the only one?
Exercising and fasting are triggers for me also
Yes it sucks but you gotta push through it after it will get better
Yeah bro exercising is one for me aswell 😭 I’m usually really active but lately it’s been killing me bro 😭
You are not the only one. I just had a gout flare. I just had a lot of stress over the multiple things. And I started exercising like rollerblading and lost about 8 pounds. Then I just had a gout flare. Granted I started drinking beer, but not much, two cans a day and smoking a one pack in a week, but I don't think that was the reason. It's weird but I believe sweating a lot by rollerblading and exercise brought on the gout.
@@campingaus that’s crazy! I just started working out and fasting and I had a flare up! I don’t understand.
Drink lots of water! Very important to avoid and treat flairs. Drink enough water to produce 2 liters of urine. In my opinion staying hydrated is the most important thing you can do
yeah and include enough rest (proper sleep time)
Treat flairs?
@@129jaystreet treat flair-ups
If you pee a lot after drinking plenty of water, you lose electrolytes right?
Increased urine output can also flair up a gout attack!
I'm a healthy 37 year old and kept getting gout, no family history. It turns out 1 cup of water a day is not enough for the human body. I started drinking water like a normal person, about 2 liters or so a day, and no more gout.
That’s how I keep it at bay. I drink water like crazy, downside is I pee often..
@@domizzi626 I would pee all day to not have that excruciating pain that I face with gout attack
Yes I’ve researched gout a lot and it is a form of arthritis. I’ve been suffering with gout for about 5 years now. It’s really strange how my gout is triggered. I think the most consistent trigger is high fructose syrup drinks or food. I find stress is also a factor. I’m trying to drink more water to keep my system flushed better. I don’t drink alcohol but I do drink soft drinks too much and so I’m gonna have to remove those from my diet. Gout is very painful. People have ask me to describe it and the best I can come up with is imagine you have a severe burn and a broken bone in the same area. I wish there was a cure because this can really be debilitating and I’ve had to miss work a lot because of gout. Thank you for drawing attention to this horrible ailment.
Avoid too much vitamin C and B3 (niacin) as well. I’m getting my husband on Protandim right now to see if it can activate his cellular healing. God bless🙏🏻💗
My husband triggers are stress and glucose/fructose/carbs. I believe it’s related to being insulin resistance. When my husband went low carb it all cleared no case in over one year. My husband did not over eat any of the foods. The reason beer is a trigger is because it’s high carb that becomes sugar in body and lead to insulin resistance same as fructose. Gout is associated with metabolic syndrome.
Exactly!
Keto change my life
Yes, I read on a keto site that people on keto had improvement in gout. Beer is also high in yeast, and that is a trigger for gout.
Foooook yeah i know all this shiiiiit but still addicted to fooooking pizza cola beer sweets 😢
@@proxident4169 Also,the yeast in beer is a culprit
The big bad three: beer, red meat and shell fish. Basically, every thing I love to eat
Feel you man...
Nope
beer agree, red meat (in my case i did not noticed), sugar and fructose outside of fruit - 100% yes, spinach - yes only spinach in veggies. seafood maybe.
It's my third time that I have been affected with gout.
First and second time,when it happened, there had been a stinging feeling to my big toe, swelling and slight darkening of skin.
I took the prescribed medicine and the four was addressed.
This is the third time it has been happening, so I did some research and found out that following foods aggravated the issue:
1. Beef
2. Foods with yeast
3. Caffeine (I used to have 3-4 cups of tea with milk)
4. Pulses
5. Branched Chain Amino Acid supplement
6. Whey Protein
However, the third time was less severe and quite bearable since I made a few changes to my diet;
1. Started having apple cider vinegar - a teaspoon in a cup of hot water with honey. 3 days a week on an empty stomach.
2. Quarter lemon squeezed into lukewarm water with honey. 4 days a week on an empty stomach.
3. Reduced my caffeine intake to 1 cup per day.
4. Started having fennel and cinnamon tea in the evening to avoid the craving for more caffeine.
5. Increased intake of water, earlier it was 8-9 glasses a day, now it is 11-12.
6. Reduced the intensity of exercise sessions, initially I used to do a 45 minute HIIT, 6 days a week. Afterwards, I tailored the workout to a 30 minute moderate intensity weight training session with an added 4 min TABATA HIIT, 5 days a week with a 30 minute yoga routine on remaining days.
7. Reduced beef intake by 25% per month.
I haven't yet taken medicine and feel quite better.
P. S. I don't drink alcohol.

It is an awesome one of a kind product for Curing gout minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate finally got excellent results with it.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about - Taparton Leaving Illness Takeover (do a google search)? It is a good exclusive product for Curing gout without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got astronomical success with it.
Cheers for this, been searching for "is gout deadly" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Eiyacob Preliminary Eradicator - (search on google )?
It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to get rid of gout without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
How are you doing now?
After about 20 doctors a rheumatologist told me it was the change in uric acid levels that caused gout attacks. The more drastic the change the more likely to get an attack. The really surprising part was that dropping your uric acid levels too quickly can cause attacks.
Hi I have been thinking about that, I drink a lot of alcohol but every time I quit I get gout attacks
I got an attack after eating a ton of sugar
ruclips.net/video/95mhn0ry2LY/видео.html
This makes a lot of sense.. but I'm curious of the mechanism.
I've been on 100mg allopurinol for about 5 years. No gout attacks since started. Used to have them about 4 times a year. Was originally on 300mg but I told my doctor I was experiencing slightly "weird" sensations at times. Weird sensations could have been caused by anything, really. Anyway, dialing it back to 100mg did not render it ineffective. I still register 6.0+ on my Uric Acid levels. My Uric Acid came back last month at 7.4. So yeah, makes sense what your Dr is saying. Maybe allopurinol just "stabilizes" the Uric Acid levels where there aren't wild swings. Not necessarily decreasing levels.
I'm 32, I was first diagnosed when I was 23. I've found that for me it's large amounts of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), some beer, fast weight loss (my guess is due to loss of water), and some exercise can trigger it in me as well. I'm one of the people who, unfortunately, have had it consistently since diagnosis. While I don't have attacks often anymore (and god those were the worst when I first was diagnosed), it has left me in a constant state of pain, which I've unfortunately adapted to. I say unfortunate because no one should have to adapt to daily pain.
I’ve had gout for years, and I get it everywhere. Allopurinol doesn’t seem to help much.
Pretty much in pain all the time as well
@Chad,
I am so sorry to hear of your pain. People that don't have gout know nothing of extreme pain.
I have found that montmorency tart cherry juice concentrate helps me. It does not prevent an attack but it helps keep them from happening. I buy it at Meijer's. It isn't cheap but it makes a lot. I mix about a tablespoon or so in a glass of water. I think its good. I also mix up a jug and add some lemon and sweetener and keep it in the fridge. I haven't had a full blown-can't walk attack in a few years compared to many times a year. I hope you try it and it works.
Good luck to you
Yep, every time I lose weight on Keto I get gout. I need to drink more water next time.
I got it a 18 drinking beer.
Sugar is the big one then beer is the next one. It all depends how much you ingest. You can still enjoy these things but you might have to cut back on how much you ingest
My dad has been suffering from gout for years and years. Red meats and beer. He stopped eating shellfish, red meats, breads, everything BUT the booze. So, he would make himself better with garlic and other anti inflammatory foods, and stop drinking and as soon as he felt better he would go back to drinking. Needless to say, the gout spread to the knees, the arms, the hands, the feet, he swells up.
My only advice- stop the drinking.
Does he have a good diet? Daily citrus fruits, alkaline mineral water, no juices in cartons, no ice cream, no cakes, no sugary things, no potato crisps? He has to bin it and stay away from steaks.
just putting info out there, not a keyboard gangster. Recently I have backed down the booze and up'd the stealing of the kids OJ in the mornings and organic cherry juice, just mine, no one else likes it (for both the curiousness of the cherries, and I like the glass jars), and I just acquired the worst gout attack to date, for me.
In the recent past, I have had flare ups around the ankles (now I understand to be mildly), still able to go to work, slowed the booze, up'd the water, and waited for crystals to dissolve, and could still function. All my mindsets at the time had it under control.
Now, age 42, two days ago, middle toes, largest toe joints, went absolutely mad. I am Down, I am Useless, I am pe'ode! Like I said, recently cut back on bad diets just cause I'm a Dad, and need a healthier lifestyle. We ironically had a few seafood dishes back to back last week, I been getting into the forbidden OJ (5 kiddoes under 12 and all mine so I'm told), and my personal cherry juice. BAM!! Can't walk. Am I being punished for changing my diet? Related to the OJ, seafood, and /or alcohol? I use to be sure, now I am not so sure. We are meat eaters, we will continue to eat med-rare steaks regardless of cost.
Again. This is my story. Not saying I know anything more or less than anybody else, just adding to the pool.
ONLY other thing I want to add is: I have a nurse in the family, I was an Air Ambulance pilot for some time, and I have never seen any of these other Medical Professionals ever agree with each other on much. Pilots don't either. Life's a garden, dig it, do the best you can.
I cannot wait to be walking around again. I'm back to a hobble.

Sorry Clara I haven’t had a drink in decades and eat only vegetables but still get Gout regularly, seems when it starts there is no cure.
Tart Organic Cherry juice. Try it, it works for me from not walking to walking in 12 hours. Drink an entire bottle by drinking a lot of it, then sip til gone, open another and sip til gone. It is a cure for me. 24 hours after it is nonexistent
@@scupper79 Are you saying that cherry juice may have contributed to the gout attack?
Beef, pork (bacon, ribs, chops) sucralose, soda, sugar. All of these trigger mine. My gout continued for 2 years before I was diagnosed and given colchicine to cure the attack. I now have permanent damage in my right knee, left ankle and left big toe. To make matters worse I was given an antibiotic AND colchicine to take together and had learned that those two together are deadly
I am heading there.. 😢
I’m follow a strict ‘plant based diet’ and I still suffer. My triggers are dehydration and when I’m dehydrated even the littlest amount of beer or lager triggers it. I don’t drink alcohol much at all, but when these thing occur BANG! It’s thee most painful thing I’ve ever experienced!! I feel for anyone suffering from gout I really do!
Triggers for me: stress on my feet. Eg. walking a lot, using the rowing machine. After a month long miserable gout attack 3 months ago I made the following changes:
- stopped using rowing machine
- cut down alcohol
- switched BP med from diuretic
- drinking lemon water in the morning and hydrating throughout the day
- taking vitamin C supplement.
So far so good.
I am suspecting my Diuretic causing problems
@@davidreeves3396 Yes.. my gout frequency and severity went up big time after I was put on a diuretic.
How are you doing buddy?
@@sanpat2220 6 months without gout. Keeping my fingers crossed.
@@jakejake7289 do you still walk a lot ? I like walking but scared it may trigger a gout attack .
My husband has it and it is brought on by stress. He does not eat meat or shellfish , does not drink alcohol or coffee either. He just had major surgery and his gout came on the day before . As he is not allowed strong painkillers when he came back from hospital i tried to give him cherry juice tart from health shop and after drinking it for 8 days (about 6 litres) it went away.
I got the first most painful gout of my life 3 weeks ago. I thought I had broken my ankle. Mine was totally sugar and oatmeal with raisins. 15 years ago I had my first mild case of gout on my big toe. This time for three days I couldn't walk to the horrible pain in my ankle. What helped me was staying away from all the foods that are high in purines. Then for pain and clearing, ibuprofen, sulfer, major water drinking up to 14 cups of lemon water, lowfat milk, coffee, and cherry juice. My blood was just too acidic with too much uric acid. I hope this helps any one with gout.
I didn't watch the video( quite a few people said it was useless).....but the comment section was very good...I learned a lot !!!
Abandon: Crab, tuna, pop, red meat, mushrooms, alcohol, and dehydration. If you treat these few items like poison, all other like and kind items will give birth to discretion. There are plenty of other things to eat to choose from. Drink water at an inconvenient rate. Keep tart cherry supplements at the ready and get them on board asap to help mitigate pain. Sorry you're here today. Blessings.
Thank you, and bless you!
I think I learned more from your comment than this video...
also don’t consume too much sugary drinks and foods
@@g_pazzini Sugary food is fine as long as it's in moderation and balanced with fibre (i.e. fruits), unless you explicitly have a fruit trigger. It's processed foods with added sugar that you need to watch out for.
@Impr0ta if you’re a vegan but have high uric acid, please check up also your kidneys.. the doctor should know what actually happens to you.
I have finnally found a cure for me that works in about 8 hours sooner if i can catch it in time: immediately start eating a vegetarians diet during the attack followed by eating lots of fresh pineapples and cherries, the main key is lemon water every hour or so and every 2 hours eat a big chunk of fresh ginger and fresh garlic. Also have several sips of apple cider vinegar. Follow up with staying in bed foot elevated and keep meditating pale green light visualising going thru your feet or effected area. Godbless everyone, love to all.
No thanks, I'll take the gout..
@@robloxvids2233 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ma'am all that?
I found out that when i took ACV and 1 lime/lemon, i started to burp out some weird smell from my stomach. Then my flare gout is gone like an instant 😃. Not really sure what happened but i found out it is interesting.
By only ACV or only lime will not have the optimum effect which i tried before.
@@robloxvids2233 I'm fukin dying hahahahha
DEHYDRATION! Number one reason for gout. Also fasting too long causing rapid weight loss EVEN when on a healthy diet. Also the secondary causes are due to the dehydration factor. Alcohol is extremely dehydrating.
You say intermediate fasting? Or multiple days fasting?
@@seanlaskey2873 I meant fasting for days. Intermittent Fasting is fine. Just be sure to s stay well hydrated with lots of WATER. And plenty of sea salt and electrolytes.
True
Thanks for your input. I have been rollerblading a lot which makes me sweat a lot. I was happy that I lost about 10 pounds. But I was sweating every day and I drank two cans of beers every night for past four weeks . Then I just had gout flare last night after rollerblading. Now, I will make sure that I drink plenty of fluids and cut down on drinking so I will not be subject to extreme dehydration.
@@Namelessguy08 You didn't get heat stroke, you got a bad diagnosis. Get more tests done. Mild stroke maybe?
I have been in a Keto diet and practicing Intermittent fasting. I got a gout flare. I understand the body in order to get rid of death cells convert them to Uric acid. When you don’t eat enough protein your body consume your muscles protein producing more Uric acid. People with cancer produce a lot of Uric acid due to the amount of death cells.
Interesting comment - From the research ive done is uric acid is made from Purines which is essentially in everything, its the breaking down of DNA. So loosing muscle mass makes sense
Thank you for this information. I have been on keto for 5 months and had 2 flareups.
I came here because I love Bob and Brad and was hoping they addressed the issue of gout. This is the 2nd attack this year that has hit me in the ankles and left me bed ridden. Thank you all for the suggestions. I'm still not sure what my triggers are, but I'll keep trying to figure it out.
I am a woman who had gout in her mid thirties. It was unbelievably painful. An older co-worker told me it was from what I ate. I tracked it down to MEAT! Now I never have problems with gout, focusing more on eggs, rice, vegs., and fruit. Trust what you eat.

From my experience... what triggered gout for me is dehydration, which messes up your kidneys due to a lack of water and something else... And the the second problem is that drinking water does not solve the problem. Here is why, it is an electrolyte imbalance!! When I work outdoors intensively I sweat profusely and few days after it shows up. When I replenish my electrolytes, it does not show up. For examples the MIO water enhancer with electrolytes :) Cheers
Can electrolyte tablets work ?
Preach! This is so true🎉
Hello,
Potassium, magnesium, zinc worked for me. I'm vegetarian: the triggers in my case are dehydration, sugar, carbs, and probably yeast.
@@dianneangeles8978 wow you are beautiful! Do you have a Facebook or instagram?
Yes, I noticed being dehydrated and then eating a heavy, salty meal… right afterwards I swell up in my toes and calves then my fingers and wrists. Not good .
I just experienced my first gout attack. Im very strict as an eater and I know that I incorporated red meat into my diet when I moved out west 3yrs ago. Before that I ate a lot of chicken n veggies. Im a NON-drinker, no significant sweets or fructose. Im into fitness so it was a set back. Im backing out the red meat as I believe this has direct correlation to MY gout flare up. From my research n dissecting the large amount of conflicting information, Ive instituted organic tart cherry juice, use of dark cherries in a smoothie, turmeric with high level curcuminoids n low/no fat dairy and nuts and seeds. Hoping this mitigates the chance of a flare up. Strength n luck to all those that have suffered this Excruciatingly painful condition 💪🏼
Was chicken ok with you?
@@pedro6248 for me specifically, yes I was good with chicken. BTW I still eat a lot of red meat n have not had any issues in at least 2 yrs….
@@Ok-zt4lk good to hear, great research!
Asparagus caused my first gout bout. Now, I can feel an attack coming. I drink lots of water, take Advil and eat dried cherries. It works for me. Oh, and I stretch the affected joint. And ice afterwards.
My big toe joint pain seems more consistent, and doesn't really flare up or ache as bad as it sounds like some folks does. And rubbing that joint, particularly the top side is where and when I'll really feel it.
Dehydration, sugar, too high carbs and lack of vegetables has done it for me at the moment. So painful from the big toe to the ankle. Thank you so much for your video.
Well I eat no cards,drink 2 litres of water,absolutely no sugar,plenty of vegetables,fish,and no red meats and I just got a bad attack that i ended up in hospital. Go figure.
Having a gout episode right now. Am a teetotaler and vegetarian. So Gout doesn't discriminate 😀.
My triggers, my guess - dehydration, stress and lack of walking
gout lives matter..................
I am having my second battle with a acute gout attack. The first time was painful, but 5 years later this gout attack the pain has been unbearable. I have it in my ankle and know most of my foot has become numb. I was drinking nothing, but soda and I am sure that is what brought it on.
Me too Jenny. I'm done with soda for awhile. My first attack and I got it in both feet at the same time. The pain is awful!
Beer and shellfish are the killers for me. There are a few prescribed meds that really help. To end flare ups quickly, I’ve had success taking both colchicine as well as separately taking indomethacin. Besides changing your diet and eating habits, allopurinol can be taken as a preventative to help control your uric acid levels.
I’m currently going through a bout with gout. 1st time ever in my knee. Going on my 4th week as it moves to different locations. Dr prescribed allopurinol 300 6yrs ago. I’m also on colchicine .6mg and norco’s. I received my 1 cortisone shot ever to relieve some swelling that slowly worked after a week. Still can’t put any weight on it. I noticed years ago organ meats set it off, due to reoccurring bouts at around Thanksgiving, organs in gravy..... also from brined turkey. I do believe after 3 years w/o issue this case was caused by dehydration(heat exhaustion) with a couple ice cold Gatorade’s which I haven’t had in years. This is the 2 case I’ve had that has lasted multiple weeks, one lasted 2 1/2 months, bout was so bad a powdery substance formed outside on my skin, dr suggested crystallization. Not fun in any way, wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Thanks for hearing my story. PS, I’ve tried all the remedies cherries, cherry juice, alkaline drinks, cbd’s, essential oils and I even purchased an ice man power pump for long term chilling. Cbd’s and the constant icing have helped the most.
Mine moves down from one of my knees into the toe on the same foot and then crosses over to the other foot and up to the knee. Often in one of my elbows all at the same time. It usually takes more than a month. I don't get much sleep.
Stop all fruit consumption for at least three weeks and you may be surprised with the results.
It is fructose the main cause of gout.
Stop listening to doctors who all they really want is to increase their wealth at the expense of our health.
So I was actually Diagnosed at 19 as having Gout. I'm now 31 and have had many flares through out the year, but its interesting to hear others stories and what triggers theirs. When I first went to the doctors, they gave me 3 full pages of foods I was to avoid, over time I found my Trigger foods and honestly because of the pain I just avoid them all together. Red meat is on the list but I eat alot of red Meat daily(Cow) and I'm fine, If I eat Deer, my gout will flare up, if I eat Pork, that night my gout will flare up. I can't eat seafood any more, but I found that I can eat tilapia and be ok. Nuts I avoid all together as well. If I eat Almonds it will flare up, but Almond milk I'm fine. I can't eat peanuts or peanut butter any more.. I have definitely done alot of research on this matter, but each person is different to and extent. I also found that the Hops in beer is what causes that to be so bad, but liquor doesn't affect me.
Bradley, do a keyword search for "ketogenic diet" and "gout" and you will see that a ketogenic diet is a highly effective non-medical dietary approach to preventing gout and a host of other interrelated metabolic problems stemming from insulin resistance. The ketogenic diet is a high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate diet (< 20 grams per day of net carbs). Carbs are not your friend with with high fructose corn syrup, sugar, grains (wheat, corn, rice), starchy vegetables like potatoes, and fruit juice (orange, apple, etc.) all making the worst of the worst list of carbs.
Gout is a metabolic inflammatory response caused by insulin resistance which is in turn caused by years of chronically high blood sugar, which is in turn caused by a high daily intake of carbohydrates typical of the standard American diet. Gout is not a stand alone medical problem. Gout is a both symptom and a warning sign of insulin resistance. If you are suffering from gout, you should become educated and aware of the multitude of metabolic problems that stem from insulin resistance. Fortunately, the ketogenic diet stops and reverses the problem of insulin resistance and therefore prevents and reverses many of the problems that stem from insulin resistance.
I am 57. I was first diagnosed with gout at age 24. I suffered from frequent severe gout attacks for over 30 years until I started the ketogenic diet about 2 years ago. Within a month of starting the ketogenic diet my gout just went away. I stopped taking my gout prevention meds (allopurinol) and have remained gout free for over 2 years. I also lost 45 pounds switching to the ketogenic diet. My experience is quite common and normal for gout sufferers who switch to a ketogenic diet.
Oddly, many of the trigger foods you listed are are highly recommended on a ketogenic diet. Carbohydrates are the root cause of chronically high blood sugar leading to insulin resistance and gout. If you were to switch to a ketogenic diet you may find you are able to go back to enjoying the foods you listed as trigger foods.
How are you doing now
@@fattofitguy I'm doing great, I maybe have 1 flare up a year now, sometimes not for a for years in-between attacks. I watch what I eat, and take cherry Tart pills twice a day, and if I feel a attack coming on ill add potassium citrate powder. Stops it cold

I'm a physically fit male with hereditary gout; my father, brother & son have it. I recently experienced a 2 week gout attack in the big toe following 9 gout free years. I did a complete analysis of everything I ate in the week leading up to the attack. I like to eat healthy & had several high protein 'Quorn' vegetarian meals. The weather was hot & I failed to increase my fluid intake. I should have seen the first warning signs when I noticed that my pee was frothy. This is a sign of protein in the urine & kidneys under stress. Some research revealed 'Quorn' contains high levels of Mycoproteins which are high in purines & this elevated my uric acid levels. The week ended at a friend's BBQ where I ate sausages, burgers & several grain based ales. This was the trigger to already elevated levels of uric acid, a perfect storm! At 2am the following morning my big toe was pounding! If I were to give any advice on 9 gout free years it would be everything in moderation & drink at least five pints of water per day to flush uric acid out of the body! I will never be so complacent again!
You should cleanse your liver right away
@@frankayala3950 Hi Frank, I always aim to drink up to 4 pints of water a day & limit alcohol to the occasional unit or two. I have also been trying apple cider vinegar for liver health. I'm looking forward to another long gout free run but remain far more alert to the early signs of a random attack.
711honved baking soda work for Me
My brother gets the crystals from beef and alcohol! He then formed two kidney stones! Dehydration plays a huge role for him.
Low thyroid levels can cause gout, that is what did it in me. When your thyroid level drops it slows down your metabolism. It’s the mechanism that animals use to hibernate . When your metabolism drops your kidneys stop working as good as they should. This causes a build up of uric acid.in the blood and gout will start up. With me it’s in all my joints not just one or two. I take levothyroxin every day as my immune system killed my thyroid. If the doctors try to decrease the amount of meds I am on the uric acid starts climbing and the gout starts up. SO, if you have gout have your thyroid checked.
Black cherries seem to help gout. Eating no meats or sugars helps as well when there’s flare ups. Apple cider vinegar, turmeric , cbd oil...
I have clients with gout- they say carbs- meats- rich fishes like salmon, sugars all give them gout flare ups. Never massage gout. I do send love energy into the area.
Thanks for reminding me. I need to take my tart cherry pill
Thanks for tip "never massage gout."
I don't drink alcohol
I drink 5 to 8 glasses of water
I eat 3 times, I'm vegetarian
I have moderate psoriasis
For the first time, I feel this gout pain.
I had a little pain I went for a walk and at night it started paining like hell.
Drink more water then !
Strong dose of Prednisone for several days…pain begins to subside within one day. By day two, hardly any pain. And clears it up within several.
First got gout about 10 years ago after having a large piece of liver in a diner in Albany, NY. Couldn't believe the pain and thought I had kicked the end of the bed during the night. Haven't had liver since, I also get triggered by OJ particularly the stuff they serve in hotels at breakfast. Was prescribe Alupurinol but didn't seem to work as effectively as taking some Ibuprofen when I get the first twinge of a flair up.
Tart Cherry Extract, Celery Seed Extract, and two times a week a Glass of water with Baking Soda, a Great Help. I had Gout every 2 or 3 Weeks, Beer did me in. Certain Foods would Get Me, Sugar makes Uric Acid twice as Much as anything Else. I`ve had Gout for 35 years, also there`s a Hereditary Factor. Make the changes if your as Tired of Gout as I was. Good Luck.
So, is there a way to monitor your uric acid levels? I'm hearing they can't be to high or to low. How do you actually know where your balance is before the attack? And, by the way thanks for the information as usual.
Yes, there are Monitors for sale similar to Glucose monitors. You stick your finger and place drop of blood on a strip, then place into monitor
Anyone in their 20's like me

31 and i'm dying lol
27 here and im suffering right now
My first attack came when I was in the hospital for pancreatitis. My feet swelled up and it was painful. Turns out I had my first case.of gout. I've had flare ups ever since. I'm an alcoholic, so mine are due to drinking. The most recent one came after three days of no drinking and bam!! Gout flare up. I can thankfully walk this time and am able to work while sitting. I'm only 38.
Mine came from sugar I cut out the soda drinks and that’s helped
Turkey, drinking alcohol multiple days in a row, seafood with high purines all seem to trigger gout. I also get a gout flare up in an area where I get an injury. Gout seems to follow and flare up that area where I get an injury at.
I have that same issue with a flare up occurring at the site of a previous injury. In fact that’s how I first got diagnosed was after an injury to my big toe that never seemed to heal.
Have suffered from gout for many years. I have recently changed to a vegan plant based diet but this is not preventing attacks! I drink minimal alcohol and a lot of water but I do also drink fizzy soft drinks daily which is most likely the trigger
My number one is soda. I did a test after not having soda for a year, had ZERO gout flare ups during that time, I drank 2 cans of soda in one day. The next day I had a massive flare up. I always get gout in my toes like most people. I recognized that my toes would turn purple after sitting in a chair for periods of time. My wife suggested I purchase a pair of leg massager and best compression socks to help circulation. I can now drink soda and pretty much anything I want, at a reasonable level, as long has I wear my socks on those days. Zero flare ups. I don’t take alopurinal or anything anymore. They have been a a Godsend!
For me it was Hydrochlorothiazide for my High blood pressure I Tapperd myself off that med lost weight started taking Celery Seed Extract and a Vitamin C supplement... Nomore attacks..Also 2 tablle spoons Raw Apple 🍎 Vinager and lemon juice in lots of water a day
A month ago I had a severe attack of Gout in the toes, and ankles on both legs, and in the knee on the left leg, Was not able to walk for some days. Was hospitalised for about ten days. I now hav made a total change in my food supplies. It's terrible pain.
I'm female and developed gout in my big toe at age 22. I've looked at the inflammatory food list. I don't eat hardly any refined carbohydrates, I avoid sugar (have never been a soda drinker), eat red meat about once or twice a week at the most, rarely have shrimp or shellfish of any sort, I don't consume margarine or shortening, don't eat fried foods (I'm gluten free besides), can't eat french fries (my body retains too much of the potassium in potatoes), and I eat all the anti-inflammatory foods that I can (that I'm not allergic to). Mostly I've been eating a Mediterranean diet my entire adult life.
Nightshade vegetables capsicum eggplant chip peas corn spinach peas and beans all bad for gout
Only 20% with increased uric acid levels experience gout pain.. In other words the human body is designed to tolerate uric acid crystals anyway.. Therefore I don't believe the crystals are the real reason.. Instead a LACK of certain elements could cause these crystals to become harmful.. Think of something like: "crystals to X" ratio.. Just like the oil in the engine that prevents the heat of elements rubbing with each other.. Excessive meat could be depleting or blocking this X that normally would avoid the gout pain.. Scientists must find what X is and raise or restore that instead of trying to reduce uric acid.. Maybe X is "cortisol" and pain starts especially when there is an excessive cortisol drop in the body based on chronic stress and that shows itself mostly at nights, maybe X is a certain vitamin, a certain mineral.. Maybe X is "water".. Just thinking out loud.. Orthodox studies always focus on isolating the suspected elements... But Isolation kills the idea how the micro elements in our bodies interact with each other.. It ignores the mechanism as a whole which if they were included could have changed the research outcome drastically.. My two cents.. Peace.. Out ✌
I have a number of things that might cause my gout attacks.
I think stress has a lot to do with causing gout. Dehydration, beer, eating ham,
Processed lunch meats. Fasting can cause gout. Any change in your diet can raise uric acid in your blood.
Gout flares can also be triggered when your uric acid level is decreasing...that’s why when starting medications many people get gout flares. If you are hydrating and cutting out trigger foods, for me it’s soda, and have a flare hopefully it is from decreasing uric acid levels.
Gout, I have had a few times, even in my knees and shoulders. I took Tart Cherrie extract 4 times a day for 3 days and the Gout all left. This is an old remedy and worked well for me. Drinking Coffee also helps.
I'm 54 just got gout overnight. Doc started me on Colchine. Pharmacy gave me an antidepressant by misstake. All sorted now and pain is much less after just 4 doses. Great ideas and also in comments section. I had been eating lots of Salmon, Sardines and other high purine food thinking I was getting healthier. I lost 6 stone on keto and OMAD and then put 4 back on when I relaxed that routine of weighing myself every morning and drinking up to 4 litres of water a day. My body giving me a message now.
I barely eat sugar, don't drink alcohol and eat meat about once a week. I still have gout. My rheumatologist believes it's a simple case of my kidney doesn't break down purine normally. My flare-ups seem pretty random since I barely consume some trigger food but eat others (broccoli, tofu, fungi) almost daily. It doesn't seem related to my food consumption :/
I would say food that dehydrates you seems to be more likely to trigger a flare-up (e.g. red meat, organ meat etc.). So water seems to be the key. There are inexpensive medications available out there with little side effects so if you are consistent with your meds you should be fine. I do live in a country with universal healthcare so the price thing may be different for peeps in the US tho.
Does drinking more water help your kidneys break down the purines better?
@@arynayalawolf2863 I want to say yes but I've always been drinking a lot of water. That's what you should do anyway.
Another thing I forgot to mention in my OP is salt. Breaking down salt takes a lot of water from your system.
Does anyone else get gout if they walk too much or if they move too much?
I've had very rare gout attacks for a few years now. I believe it's mostly stress that causes mine to flare up as I can go a few months changing very little what I eat and one appears out of nowhere, but always at a time when a new stress gets introduced to my life. I think not getting enough sleep helps them start up too. I've tried everything to get them to stop too (tart cherries, tons of water etc) and the only thing that's consistent is colchicine. I take 2 pills and it's gone about 4 hours later, I don't need the 3rd pill like it says on the instructions.
Also, I'm curious how many people take Metoprolol and have gout attacks.. it'd be an interesting thing to do a study on.
@@edrichtofen2896 same
I take Metoprolol and now you mention it I took a double dose because my heart was racing and I wanted to shock it back to normal and I got the gout attack right away.
@@ShantillyLace27 I wonder if anyone that takes propranolol has the same gout issues. I heard it works basically the same way metoprolol does.
Right in the middle of a gout attack in my ankle after a period of retrocalcaneal bursitis, if find I have 2 triggers. First is trauma, if my feet get knocked/hurt then gout will flare up the next day, the second is Aspartame in drinks, if I mistakenly drink anything with this in I won’t be able to walk the next day
My brother and I (female) both have gout flares. His triggers are shrimp and Brussel sprouts. My flares started when I was in my 50s. I have not been able to determine my triggers, but at times I think it's dehydration and/or high fructose corn syrup and/or red meat. Mostly get it in big toe joint but occasionally at base of other toes as well. Horribly painful!
Me and my brother… having my first flare at 53
When I first had gout, My trigger was organ meats as I was on vacation overseas. I am currently on another attack and after thinking about it for so long as to what triggered it, I think its mushrooms, peas, soda(high-fructose corn syrup), and meats. But the most MaJor one has got to be dehydration! Mine is on the right big toe then transfers over to right ankle. Pain is so severe and debilitating, had to use a cane
Mushrooms help gout
I first got gout as 34 yr old woman, healthy lifestyle, pescatarian low BMI no soda etc- other than 3-5 drinks a weeks I did not partake in obvious triggers. BUT I believe my gout is affected largely by genetics, all of my grandparents suffered from gout before they were 65+ and my triggers seemed to be not consuming enough water (dehydration) and being on my feet for longer than 6 hours. If I have a lobster roll and a beer I know I have to stay off my feet. I have found relief with using a Cannabis lotion (1:1 CBD/THC ratio) as soon as I get the telltale sign of a hot itchy tender spot somewhere on my foot I massage the lotion in, this seems to help a lot.
Stay away from the alcoholic drinks.
I just wanted to send my update to my gout experiences. I have not had a drop of alcohol in 15 years so that's out. So I still got gout from something. I made a tough choice in eating so I became a dietary vegan. Well my gout attacks almost stopped. Now I found that I also needed to stop eating processed foods and go with whole foods to become gout free. I have been advised that I have way too high iron in my blood and that was a trigger for my gout. So I do still easy vegan and at the age of 51 I have so much less pain in my joints all together. Food was my trigger and for me, whole food plant based lifestyle was my solution.
haven't had a gout attack in years. I got rid of everything that had yeast in is. Bread, beer, alcohol, ect. Also I cut out all sugar. I think now that I am doing a Keto/Carnivore diet and not had any attacks in a year and a half is nothing that causes inflammation. Hope this helps. Oh ya I got my first case of gout when in my early 30's.
Decrease the level of uric acid in your blood with nettle
Nettle helped lower the level of uric acid in the blood and promote his elimination.

I went on a huge binge of drinking soda that did include high fructose corn syrup, but it was so delicious (Ginger beer) I lost control. After drinking so much of it, I had my first intensely painful flare up and was diagnosed with gout.
ruclips.net/video/95mhn0ry2LY/видео.html
The thing that will cause a gout flair almost every time for my husband is diuretics ( aka water pills). = dehydration.
Is it just me or is it weird he claimed he knew what to do but didn't know what purines are?
Thought that too
Yeah that’s when I stopped watching
Yeah.. these guys are DEFINITELY not Dr's...
Keto diet. The relative high protein with meats is what gets my flare up going. Citric acid seems to help (lime juice) and apple cider vinegar
I started to try carnivore and either it’s too much protein or the shrimp I’ve been eating. 🤷🏻♀️
This is when mine started! I’m 23 and last year I started the Keto diet and I swear this is what causes these flares even after stopping the high fat low carb. 3 times so far. My ankles and knees just ache!! I recently have had a lot of stress and started drinking massive amounts of cranberry juice? Wondering if that caused this round of pain 😟
Feeling the same but have been eating shrimp, cauliflower, and asparagus. Also not drinking much water. No electrolytes which I think are very important with keto. Ordered some natural pills for gout online.
In a food processor chop up
1 Cucumber with peel
1 pineapple without peel
1 grapefruit without peel or pith
2 inches fresh ginger(not ginger powder)
Thereafter blend in a blender and add 300ml water.
Drink one or two small glasses a day before morning meals and before evening meals.
Watch what triggers it. If it has started already take Colchicine and anti- inflammatory
Continue drinking until it is finished.
You should have relief for at least 2 months. Repeat this before you get another attack.
Beer/Alcohol (even white wine)...
red meat...
bread...
Anything with process sugar...
Tomatoes...
Biggest trigger for me is stress and then second is wheat. I also found CBD hemp to be really good at stopping a flare up
I'm in India and can tell you about the foods in our diet that can trigger an attack and / or raise uric acid levels further:
Alcohol in all forms
Fermented foodstuffs
Chickpeas and most other lentils and most of the pulses
Red meat, seafood (in fact, all non vegetarian food)
Some vegetables eg cauliflower, spinach, beetroot, fresh peas, mushrooms, broccoli and a few others
High fat milk and high fat dairy products
...... and the list goes on and on.
It is better to check on the internet about whatever food one intends to eat, whether it is permitted or not.
The motto should be a focus on
* adequate hydration
* diet control
* regular exercise
I notice that mine acts up mostly when dehydrated. I can have the typical trigger foods and drinks with no issues provided I'm drinking plenty of water consistently.
I have osteoarthritis, especially in my knee. When I went on the keto diet, I had a "bout of gout" . I tried several months later to go on the keto diet again, and again I had a gout flare-up. Don't know what part of the diet causes this, but I am avoiding this diet.
kmaynor16 eat for your blood type god bless
Most likely the red meat
Happened to me also.
Causes: Meat, of any kind, and even fish. Whole food plant based diet is the best way of eating for lowering inflammation, uric acid and preventing gout.
Carnivore diet helped me. No more inflammation in my body. My gut is free of poisons. No more arthritis in my arms. Which in turn helped my carpal tunnel because I have no inflammation in my arms and hands. The blood flow is so much better. It doesn't get rid of the carpal tunnel but its like I hardly have it at all. My psoriasis is gone completely and my joints don't hurt at all. I feel like I walk on clouds and have so much energy. Sleeping like a baby as well. My clean gut is the key to my overall well being.
Jami Womack I came here to post the same. Keto/carnivore cured my gout as well as my chronic inflammation.
Yes, low carb or no carb has helped many with gout and other metabolic syndrome symptoms; yet the conventional wisdom for gout still focuses on eliminating all meat and eating a plant-based diiet loaded with metabolized sugars. Go figure.
@jamiwomack - so eating MORE meat helped it go away?? That is totally opposite from anything I have ever heard. Very interesting.
Gout dont need to eat meat specially red meat sea foods animal organs meat because s high n purines
Do you fast as well? Intermittent or eat when hungry?
Triggers: red meat, dehydration, beer, and recent joint trauma
sorry!!
@@BobandBrad Thanks. might be time to go on meds. Been trying for years to control it on my own. But I don't wanna end up with long term joint damage.
Mine comes when I eat pork. It’s starts on my right foot toe then a week after it goes to my left foot pinky toe area. That one hurts more
My husband is struggling with gout I’m here in 2021. He doesn’t drink 🍹 alcohol. Thanks for this.
Gout comes from eating wrong types of food. I had severe inflammation swollen knuckles. I just changed my diet. I did a detox. Stopped eating all acidic foods all meat,cheese, eggs, milk, sugar, junk fast food, fried food. No soda, no coffee, no pizza no ice cream etc! All high fatty acids. Went on a whole plant based diet. I did juicing all homemade fresh juices, then vegetables juices. Then eating fresh made salads all green veggies with colorful high antioxidants veggies. Eating the rainbow of veggies fresh homemade. Then fresh made veggie soups, legumes. I also used to suffer from skin eczema also. Believe me, it cleared up too. All diseases come from eating junk food. Being vegan it’s where it’s at.
@Vamps Belial there's a successful you tube channel called "Rob Stuart" where the dude also had eczema, and claims to have cleared it up by going 100% carnivore diet. He tracked his progress and offers a lot of diet advice.
My first time getting gout, I’m a woman and 61. I read that shrimp and clams and mussels can be a trigger, well we were at the ocean and I had shrimp three times and clam chowder twice. It sure was good but now my big toe joint hurts like crazy! I’ll limit myself next time. Hope this is the first and last time!
For me, blueberry and red cherry concentrate are a must. I take it in capsule form. Everyday or I pay dearly with pain and or discomfort.
what brand please?
Londoj823. As I don’t know which country you are in, I’m sure if brand names will help. I am in Ontario, Canada and purchase ‘natural Factors’ super strength red Cherry Concentrate at the health food store. The Cherry Concentrate is what you are after. I was told that I had gout but that it wasn’t all that bad, although the pain was. At the beginning I was taking 1000mg day until the pained went away and now one 500mg capsule a day . I do not remember why I started to take the same with the blue berry capsules. May not have been with the gout problem, may have been leg cramps but I do much better with both. I find them a little bit pricey but still less than prescriptions without the chemicals. The labels say to clear it with your doctor first (other meds) but I didn’t as I take none. You may also want to look up the gout diet if you haven’t already. I was very surprised at what was on there. Most people just say meat and red wine, no no. Good luck with the red cherry concentrate.
Beer triggers my gout. My sensitivity to it gets worse as I age. Beans don't seem to trigger it. I ran an experiment with a beans and rice diet for 3 months. I even went on a Ketogenic diet with meats and fish for a few months and no gout.
Cured my gout by adopting a ketogenic diet and intermittent/extended fasting. Sugar and grains are inflammatory. Get rid of them. And gut health -- critical. ACV and probiotic daily.
Question about your keto diet-do you have a person you go to for help (like a keto dietician)? I've been watching Dr. Eric Berg's channel and it all seems so overwhelming, but the comments from everyone tell me that keto is the way to go. But I definitely need someone's help in getting started with it. I can't seem to find anyone in my area who could direct me on this lifetime diet change. The intermittent fasting is surprisingly not so tough for me, it's just finding the right foods. There aren't any farmer's markets in my area for me to get organic foods, either. :c(
@@cish6047 Berg is a quack chiropractor. Keto long term (especially not plant-based) is a terrible idea for long term arterial and overall health, and is unsustainable on our planet. Check out Pam Popper's channel, she cuts through the BS, and also the Nutritionfacts.org channel. Also check out Red Pill Vegan on keto.
@@dannyspitzer1267 Wow..I like Dr Bergs video's although I don't know hardly anything about Keto so I don't really watch his Keto video's but I watch his other video's and their quite informative.
I'll check out the video's you suggested. Thanks
@@buckie48192 Gout is caused by metabolic syndrome, which is primarily the result of too much sugar, which is formed from carbs, and results in many problems, such as high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, obesity and gout. Keto advises getting no more than 5-10% of your calories from carbs. It has helped many people reduce and eliminate gout attacks and get off medication. Further, many others now are on the Carnivore diet and eating zero carbs and getting all their nutrients from animal products. Don't buy into the meat is bad from conventional wisdom and vegans. Plants do not supply bioavailable nutrients to the human body and they contribute in a big way to the increase of blood sugar from the spikes in insulin needed by the body to process it. Check out Dr. Ken Berry, an MD in clinical practice in TN, who covers diet and includes several videos on gout. He has a popular RUclips channel.
@@cish6047 I follow keto for year+ I like not being hungry all the time and craving stuff.
I am 33 years old
Been getting gout attacks say 4 x minor each year and maybe 1 or 2 bad ones
The first attacks I ever had were the worse was once on crutches
I find directly applied ice pack, and say 400mg anti inflammatorys help
Stress / dehydration and hot feet bring it on
I also think sugary drinks and beers too - the key is dehydration and hot feet for me
I want to share my experience about gout since I have it from 1990 until now, well what can i say :D but i success to reduce that very super painful gout attack, with not consume red meat, pork, seafood (squid, crabs, shrimp and other with high purines). I only consume chicken meat, fish with low purine category, lamb meat without its fat. don't drink beer, and other alcohol thing, especially with yeast in it, alcohol & yeast is forbidden. Sweet fructose syrup, yes, avoid any food/drink that contain high sugar level such like coca cola, soft drinks, power drinks, etc. take high dosage of vitamin C, I take 1000 mg every day with drink plenty of water, how plenty of water here's the formula : your weight x 30 ml = ..... cc/day. My weight 88 kg that means must drink : 88 kg x 30 ml = 2,64 Liter water minimum, if in sick condition and must take medicine, must drink more than 2,64 liter per day. Also the best way is losing weight, but be careful not to fast, because too fast losing weight can trigger the gout attack. for green vegetables , I avoid spinach, cabbage, asparagus, Kailan, red beans (don't eat at all) , Kale. For fruit I avoid eating jack fruit, durian. Well, if you guys want to ask about gout, feel free to contact me, I'd love to share ^_^ . Cheers ^_^
What other veggies should you avoid ? What other foods are your go to ?
Thank you. I've had gout for 15 year's now. Sometimes it last up to 2 weeks. Jw does your gout ever jump bad. Mine does starts at right foot & goes to knee. I can feel it bad in my ligaments
@@tristansa5177 In my experience, avoid foods containing high levels of sugar and salt. little protein is needed. to avoid gout, we must continue to observe, if possible recorded per day, what we eat. Later we will know what foods our bodies avoid. because everyone is different in this case of gout. Red beans can quickly cause gout to me, but not necessarily to you. Maybe you can understand what I mean
I just got diagnosed with gout in the usual big toe joint. Geez it hurt like hell and I thought my toe was broken or dislocated! Could barely walk! I also have finger joint and elbow soreness. It is a mystery how this has happened though. I have been a vegetarian for around 3yrs so I eat a lot of vegetables, eat fish, drink a lot of spring water and the occasional iced tea (no corn syrup listed in the ingredients). I don’t drink alcohol. I do also eat grains. I like a lot of salt on my food. I have a kidney stone and I’m on the borderline of diabetes. Now the slow process of eliminating different foods from my diet to see what the culprit is. 😞
Just at tail end of my first attack which has lasted two weeks...probably acute pain for at least 4 or 5 days. Many sleepless nights. And trying to get my head around what changes are necessary. While I ate all the healthy stuff, I also had a lot of potential triggers. I have stopped drinking alcohol. And eating red meat and fish (at least while attack in progress). Cutting back on fructose and sugars (life-long sweet tooth). Looking out for yeast. Basically stripped out all of the stuff I love from my diet :( But there is a lot of contradictory and hard-to-verify info....esp anecdotal. And, in the end, it's possible diet may not be that important at all.
Who has gout while watching 😫🙋♂️
Just saw this video. I follow Bob and Brad but hadn't seen this video yet. I take allopurinol (prescription drug) which cuts way back on the gout attacks, but they still occur every few months. I found that if i also take some form of cherry (fresh, juice or capsule) with the allopurinol that i can usually expect to have an attack only about every year or year and one half...I ran out of the cherry capsules i take about a month ago and kept forgetting to pick some up at the vitamin store...sure enough, last week i got gout in my left knee...Cherries are a miracle drug to help prevent gout. If you have severe gout like me you should consider getting a prescription from your Doc for allopurinol as well.
Raw pineapple and orange juice set mine off like a wildfire it’s horrible. Takes 2-3 weeks to go away even using meds.
Hmmm having a session and just are raw pineapple and shrimp yesterday. So interesting and annoying.
I’ve given up red, meat and shellfish but really think canned fruit and sweets contribute to gout. My gout attacks affects ligaments and tendons and last for 6 months or when I realize that the pain is gout vs joint pain.
I didn't know foods could aggravate gout! I heard cherries (not maraschino cherries) keep gout at bay. I know that's not what Bob wanted from us, but that's all I know about a 'bout of gout'.
Cherries don’t do crap for me.
I’m relatively new to this, and haven’t identified my triggers. When it first hit me I thought I had to give up sugar. Being addicted to candy this resolve didn’t last long, but I haven’t had a second flare up. When it seemed like I might have a second one I consumed a lot of canned cherries and cherry juice which stopped it. Someone told me the Uric acid crystals are like spiky balls that cause irritation, and that cherry juice dulls or removes the spikes.
I think stress is a major contributor, another may be underlying digestive issues. I’m wondering if increasing pH should be a critical component of gout treatment.
I’ve been dealing with gout for 15 years
Back in September 2021 I watched The Game Changers on Netflix and then read The China Study. I decided to stop eating all meats and eat a vegetarian diet. I have yet to have an attack in the 6 months since and attribute this to abstaining from all meats
How are you doing buddy?
My triggers:
- High-Calorie intake
- Weight gain
- Weight loss
- Prolonged fasting
- Dry fasting
- Organ meat
- Fish
- Stress and staying up late
Things help me manage:-
- Drinking plenty of water
- Increase vegetables (potassium and magnesium)
- Working out
Medicines that help reduce the pain but I hate taking them because of the risks of side effects:
- Colchicine
- NSAIDs
Traditional Medicine that works wonders and I love:
- Wet cupping (Hijama)
Thanks a lot for all the information, I’m currently having a gout attack for the past 3 days and it’s getting worst, just before the attack I was eating large quantity red meat 3-4 times a week such as lamb shish and lamb koftee and I think this has triggered gout.
those foods are on many lists for triggers. i would suggest ibuprofen to quiet the radiation and bring down the pain a little. if u can get allopurenol from a doctor that would be the best. it acts like a everyday allergy pill. won't stop gout from ever happening again, but will prolong the time it happens. i've had gout for 7years. this crap hurts and there is no stopping it because there is no 1 trigger
Many of the foods and beverages people have mentioned do increase uric acid. However, the biggest trigger for a gout attack is dehydration. If you want to prevent gout attacks, get into the habit of drinking lots and lots of water. Every you pass the sink, have another glass….
My last episode was triggered by dehydration and forgetting to take my ACV.
My gout flares up from the below
- Red meat
- Mushrooms
- Cauliflower
- Spinach
- Sugary sweets
- Dehydration
Watching this gave me gout
