your doctor might prescribe COLCHICINE it works but might give you the runs so don't plan any trips until you test it first.I use 800mg of IBUPROFEN and it works just as well and I have no side affects.And it is one of the most painful things I have EVER experienced. GOOD LUCK

Gout is a painful condition caused by small crystals forming within the flesh. The best way to "provide" gout is to get poor circulation and eat fat rich foods.

gout is a painful disease that is caused by having too high uric acid levels in the body. This causes crystalization in the joints or extremeties making is painful and sometimes disfiguring the body. These flare ups can happen several times a year and at this point are controlled by medicine (alipernol) It is NOT caused by drinking alcohol only.

Gout is a form of arthritis marked by sudden attacks of painful, inflamed joints. It is characterized by pain, swelling, redness, and warmth (inflammation) as well as stiffness in a joint or joints. Without treatment, gout attacks tend to recur and may cause severe damage to joints, tendons, and other tissues. Gout is most common in men

Gout is certainly not a result of "good living" although that can encourage it.
It is connected with high levels of uric acid.
I can vouch for the truth of my initial statement because I've suffered from it. And, indeed, it does hurt. Lots. It goes when it's good and ready, and will return when it feels like it. Not necessarily to the same joint either.

By 'Provide' i assume you mean "prevent". Gout is a disease caused by drinking excess alcohol. It causes the joints of the toes to swell up and is amazingly painful. to prevent it all you can really do is moderate how much you drink

Go for protein rather then sugar to keep energy levels going strong rather then crashing. Edamame in pods will be the perfect snack since it takes a long time to eat and a one-cup serving offers 12 grams of protein.

An old-fashioned remedy was to eat a bowl of cherries. It works because there is an enzyme in cherries that dissolves the uric acid crystals that cause the pain and damege.
