I had gout beginning 30 days after the sleeve, for FIVE MONTHS, rotating to toes on both feet. I was walking with a cane, and crying with pain. My Bariatric doc said wasn't his problem, my Internist recommended two deadly drugs, one was indomethacin I think, deadly to sleeve patients. I had no choice. I could not stand the pain. The drugs put me in the hospital, deathly ill. I recovered, stopped the drugs, and suffered. I went to a compound pharmacist friend, hobbled in with my cane. In a one hour consult he prescribed this. Eat only vegetables and fruit for 2 weeks. Take tart cherry caplets, about 3 a day, celery caplets, use Tumeric on my food With salt and pepper the rest of my life, which you can google. Find tart cherry juice in a health food store if you can. Eat lots of celery! I swear to you in four days I was easing up on the pain. Five years later, I have all these caplets in my house. I have not had gout since. That is the worst pain ever. I am living proof of this natural cure when the doctors and meds nearly killed me.

The key is to eat/drink small amounts for me anyway. I bought 2 ounce cups (baby food storage containers) - I never eat more than the 2 ounces at a time - spread out over 5x a day. I never get sick. The only time I almost had heartburn is when I went over the amount - luckily it wasn't bad.

Tart Cherry capsules. Find the juice too. Publix might carry it. 8/21 is a new sleeve but make sure you eliminate meat. You can make veggie smoothies if you cannot tolerate the celery. Just use the blender, with Almond Milk, zucchini, kale, anything that suits your fancy. Do NOT let anyone prescribe these killer meds to you. I felt I had no choice, no direction from anyone. Thank God for my Pharmacist who runs a natural food shoppe in my City.
