I always used to laugh at this illness,for some unknown reason.
Shit,wish i hadn`t !!
One of the most excruciating pains I`ve ever had.
Couldn`t even have the duvet over my foot it was that bad.
Likewise I heard also that red wine is a no-no, but cranberries are very good.
My sympathy goes out to any sufferers.

Hi Blue
Ive had it for years now it takes time to find out what triggers it off it can be anything with me it was cider at first and then after years found out that hard cheese and lamb start it off, so now dont touch cheese but have lamb quite often but i just take the tablets when i feel a twinge in the toe.
Dont change your diet just try and think what foods you had about 2 days before it starts and cut them out and see how you go,But it did take me years to find out.
Good luck

I have suffered from Gout for nearly 10 years, 2 of them where I had to see a doctor in London.de niro said: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.
cheers.
p.s
i was limping all over the place in aalborg it must have been gout then so the beer obviously plays a part, that has to stop:(
The basics are as folows:
Keep away from any high acisd level foods, pickled onions, pickled veg of any kind, beetroot, cabbage etc.
One of the worse food items is 'Marmite'
Keep your intake of wine and beer to an acceptable level, don't binge drink :(
Drink plenty of water, try to drink a pint of water before bed and a pint first thing.
Try to eat white meat, chicken, pork and fish if you can.
Stay away from strong cheeses.
Becareful if you eat 'Indian' food try to keep away from the strong spices and the pickles.
Like I say I have suffered really bad from Gout and it nearly cost me my career in the 'forces' until they found the right level of medication for it.
PM me if you want any other info.

I've had gout for a good 10 years now without really knowing what it was.It affects my knees mostly but also my insteps and my thumb.I got so pissed off with my knees swelling up that I aranged to have keyhole surgery on them both to sort out what I perceived would be torn cartiledge , wear and tear etc.Just before I went down to have my right knee done the specialist looked at my blood test results and told me that he thought it was gout due to the high urate reading , once I came round after the op he confirmed that it was gout and told me to see the doctor.
I'm on Allopurinol now , 100mg a day for life I think,I also have a stash of Diclofenac for if there is an episode of gout but upto now I've been fine.The doc never mentioned anything specific about diet , he just told me to check out the internet and be sensible and to be fair I haven't really changed anything in that respect , I still eat and drink as I used to.There's s lot of good advice on this thread though and I am taking a lot of the advice offered so thanks to all for that.

TED20b said:I had gout a while ago and couldn't move for days, so loads of research on the tinterweb and found that some type of american cherries called "montmorency" help to stop it but they cost a fortune. Anyway later found out that Morrisons sells cherry juice made out of these types of cherries so i tried it and the gout never came back, its called "cherrygood" and its only a couple of quid, well worth a try.
sounds good, i'll give that a try.
cheers.

Having a well planned gout diet is important if you are suffering from gout. Gout is a form of rheumatic arthritis that results from the accumulation of excess uric acid in your joints. The big toe is often the first target of gout, but it can easily spread to the small joints in your toes, instep, and fingers, and the ankles, knees, elbows and wrists. You suffer sudden, excruciating pain from acute attacks of gout; the joint will swell, redden, and feel rather warm.
There are hereditary influences in development of gout, but there are things you can do to minimise the frequency of attacks. Physical exercise and reduced alcohol consumption will do a lot towards preventing gout, and so will a good healthy diet.
High uric acid levels associated with gout derive largely from foods rich in protein and purine, which produce uric acid as a waste product when broken down. Reducing such foods will mean less material for uric acid formation. You should adjust your dietary patterns to achieve the following:
1. Less consumption of meat products that have high purine content, such as beef, pork and lamb, as do organs like liver, kidney, and brain, along with gravy enriched with meat extracts.
2. Reduction (if not total elimination) of alcoholic beverages, especially beer.
3. Reduction of mushrooms, legume foods like peas, beans and lentil, and vegetables such as cauliflower, spinach and asparagus.
4. Avoidance of seafood that contribute to high uric acid levels like cod, anchovies, herrings and sardines, haddock, and fish eggs; also minimised consumption of mussels and scallops.
If possible, target to have protein comprising less than half of your diet to achieve more balance. Protein is a necessary element in your body, but taking more than what’s necessary will upset your body’s nutrient balance.
There are beneficial foods that help you lessen the discomfort and pain of an acute gout attack. Increase your consumption of fresh vegetables, either raw or lightly steamed; you can also mix them in soups or make them into juice. However, limit potatoes and corn to only once or twice a week.
