Recommended Posts

Ok so amoung all my other lovely complications I have gout!!!! I have been in pain for three weeks now nothing is helping and I feel like I'm about to have a nervous breakdown! Anyone have any input how long this will last and what I could do to help the pain... I read somewhere if you have a sleeve done you are at an increases risk for gout :(

This may sound crazy but try Cherries because they have something in them called proanthocyanidins which will help neutralise uric acid and reduce the inflammation. My grandfather had it bad and I told him about this because it was In a book I have of natural remedies and he tried it because nothing the doctors have him worked. He ate Cherry pie filling. It fixed him completely! Buy cherries eat those or drink natural cherry juice which I guess would be at a health food store? Hope that helps.

I'll second the cherry recommendation. I occasionally have gout in my left wrist. It feels like I've broken a bone. I buy the cherry juice at the health food store (get the kind that is without sugar added). It's very tart, so you may need to mix it with a cup of crystal lite to be able to drink it. Improves the gout in a day or two. If you drink it once or twice a week it keeps it from coming back.

I too suffered gout prior to vsg surgery.

I use to get 100% black cherry juice. Knudson is the brand I use to get. I had read about the remedy on a gout specific blog and that it breaks down the purine crystals that form. I would drink quite a bit and noticed about a 70% less pain.

It would work wonders. However, now with a smaller stomach it may be harder to get the amount of juice needed.

Also for gout they say to use heat not ice but you may want to check some gout specific sites.

I now take allpurinol which is specific for gout.

My flare ups use to last a couple weeks.
