[Bill]

just want to see what you lot think, i have just had my first bout of gout, i'm on medication but there seems to be conflicting views on what to what not to eat.

any help would be appreciated.

I may have had gout a few years ago. I say may have 'cos I had two doctors give me different diagnoses. One said gout and the other said inflamed tendons in the sole of my foot. I was told that gout was brought about by eating too much good food and wine too (pheasant was mentioned by one or two). Several people told me to drink plenty of cranberry juice for gout. I think it was the tendons but don't know, pain was immense and didn't sleep for days when I had it. Good luck in getting it sorted.

Having never suffered I dont know for sure but I was told that in most cases it is brought on by BJ's?? Or was that BLT's!!

Avoid acidic foods and obviously up alkaline types,more greens,wholegrains,pulses,oils(fish/flax etc)

Do a search on google mate.

I had a bout of this about 3 years ago.

Since I started taking medication I've been free of it, (Fingers crossed).

I don't avoid any specific foods but I don't drink much alcohol.
