I’ve been watching some youtube videos on Uric acid (the cause of) and it’s effect on metabolism.
I don’t have gout, but I’ve started taking a supplement to reduce uric acid.
Gout can a direct result of diet.
I kept getting flareups.... was prescribed
Colcrys to mitigate it. Was advised to modifiy my diet so I dropped pork, red meat and a few other things for the most part out of my diet and haven’t had an attack in years.
Alcohol can be a large contributor also.
I take allopurinol daily to reduce uric acid. And I take colchicine if I get a flare up anyway. Both of them work well.
If I didn’t take anything I would either be in a wheelchair unable to walk or have to eat nothing but water and salad.
I got rid of my gout by squeezing a slice of lemon in my tea (hot or cold) and eating a bowl of cherries everyday. Haven't had a flare up in about two years.
You can do an internet search for foods to reduce uric acid and pick the ones you like.
