My husband suffers from horrible gout in his toes and ankles. It literally cripples him when he is having an attack. He can fortunately take NSAIDs which sort of helps but I know Bariatric patients can’t take them. His Dr told him it’s caused by foods rich in purins. I know specifically like red meats, seafoods, mushrooms, cauliflower and definitely alcohol. I don’t know how far out you are from surgery but maybe it’s from something you are consuming more of or maybe just from levels being out of whack and causing more Uric acid. He also ices it (if you can stand the weight of the ice on it) and elevates it. Fortunately the attacks only last about 48 hrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabybab 696 Posted May 13, 2019 I just recently had gout. I'm 11 weeks post-op. I've cut shrimp totally out and watching my red meat. It seems to be getting better. I took half a dose of steroid, but my bs was too high, so I stopped. I Hope he feels better quickly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Paul 761 Posted May 13, 2019 When I had gout pre op I was prescribed Allopurinol. It has to be taken daily but, it stopped my attacks. Post surgery, I'm gout free. Some people I know also swear by Cherry juice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lochnessamber 46 Posted May 13, 2019 Previously I swore by milk/unsweetened dairy, but I dont tolerate it post op now. Cherry juice helped as a preventive for me but allopurinol was the big gun. Post op, I've been managing it through diet alone but that isnt for everyone. I'd bring it up to the doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
