First off your feet will feel 100% better if you loose the weight. Second there are meds your doc can give you for the gout. It stops the crystals from forming in those particular joints. You could also try going to a health food store. They can help you with all natural remedies and they may be cheaper than a script.

If the doc says it is gout, he probably confirmed by doing a blood test for uric acid. Uric acid is the substance that causes crystals to form in the joints of gout sufferers...and causes the pain.
Quite simply, if you have gout, cut out the foods that are known to have high uric acid contents, such as lobster, crab, etc. Many websites can delineate which foods are high in uric acid. Just that simple change will make a world of difference for you. Back in the old days, gout used to be called "the rich man's disease" because it was virtually unheard of in common folk who could not afford those foods. So, instead of being sad, rejoice that you have something you can fix quite easily by making some dietary changes.
