My Dad had suffered with that real bad in his toe. He was told to drink organic cherry juice and swore it helped big time. I hope you check it out. That is soooo painful. Good Luck

Eat some black cherries or drink some cherry juice.
It really helps.
Cherries If you are lucky enough to have fresh cherries, eating 6-8 cherries daily will relieve the symptoms of gout. This remedy was reported in 1950 by Dr. Ludwig W. Blau who cured his own gout. Frozen and canned cherries may also be used. When you feel an attack coming on, eat 20-30 cherries immediately. Cherries are rich in compounds that prevent the destruction of collagen, which the body uses to form connective tissue. The connective tissue is damaged by gout. Cherries also have an enzyme that neutralizes uric acid and are high in anthocyanins which have high antioxidant properties as well as anti-inflammatory action. For greatest effectiveness eat them between meals.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) Add some rose hips to vinegar and boil; dab on affected area. You may need to apply this mixture several times a day for a few weeks. The vinegar changes the blood pH so that the crystals will go into solution and be excreted

Have never heard of using that as a remedy.

Most likely not, but it will not hurt anything either.
Good luck!

For some people it apparantly works. I don't think it could hurt.

It might taste a little bitter...

I don't think so. Sounds farfetched.
