I am sure most of you old guys have suffered with gout. Doc's have had me on Prednisone and Colchicine it gives me relief but a soon as I quit taking it the gout flares back up. Been suffering for 3 months, first in a finger and now it has migrated to both feet. Ice seems to help but is not a cure. Anybody got a home remedy that helped? I take supplements that are supposed to help, Vit C, Turmeric, cider vinegar, magnesium. I've even quit drinking!!!

People with gout, a type of arthritis, may benefit from avoiding foods that are high in purines, which can increase uric acid levels in the blood and lead to gout attacks. Some foods to avoid include:
Red meat
Beef, lamb, and pork contain purines and saturated fats. Limit serving sizes.
Organ meats
Liver, kidney, and sweetbreads are among the highest in purines.
Seafood
Shellfish like shrimp, lobster, mussels, anchovies, and sardines are high in purines. However, moderate amounts of fish may have health benefits that outweigh the potential harm.
Sugary drinks and foods
Candy, desserts, and high-fructose corn syrup can increase uric acid levels.
Processed foods
May contain unhealthy fats, sugars, and sometimes purines.
Alcohol
Beer and distilled liquors can make it harder for the body to remove uric acid. Wine can be consumed in moderation.

This is it! My episodes increased to every six weeks, and since getting on allopurinol have had no issues for years. And I eat and drink whatever I want, probably too much! I believe the inventor won a Nobel prize based on its novel concept.

I was in my 20s the first time I had an issue with it. You can often figure out what triggers it. For me, it was largely pork. I cut out sausage, lunch meat, and bacon and quit having gout attacks. Frequency of consumption also matters. If you slip up and eat something you're not supposed, eat really clean for several days.

For them it's all the stuff they ate and eat as you stated.
I have none of there Gout problems, as I eat different Foods.

If you drink diet soda, stop and drink more water..
You might have your thyroid checked . if it is under performing it inhibits the kidneys ability to get rid of uric acid as in my case along with a plethora of beer and steak .

My dad had it when he was younger, but he hasn't had an issue with it in years. It does seem to be somewhat hereditary.

My friend has gout and had but one attack in his life 11 years ago
He takes colchicine as a preventative
His serum uric acid level is low enough that he does not need Allopurinol

I'm starting to suspect diet soda is the cause of all kinds of inflammatory symptoms. As well as urinary issues.
Diet Gatorade might even be worse.
The Tart Cherry juice is what the oldest son uses to keep his Gout in check also.
