Beneficial Foods

Foods which may be beneficial to people with gout include:

Dark berries may contain chemicals that lower uric acid and reduce inflammation.
Tofu which is made from soybeans may be a better choice than meats.

Certain fatty acids found in certain fish such as salmon, flax or olive oil, or nuts may possess some anti-inflammatory benefits.

Avoiding purine-rich foods is only one aspect of treatment however. It is important to take prescribed medications as directed, maintain a healthy/balanced diet, drink plenty of fluids/water, exercise and maintain a healthy body weight.

High in complex carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits, vegetables)

Thereafter, about ten cherries a day will keep the ailment under control. While fresh cherries are best, canned cherries can also be used occasionally.

Treating gout using Lime
Lime is also used as a source in treating gout. Vitamin C is known to prevent and cure sore joints by strengthening the connective tissues of the body. The citric acid found in lime is a solvent of the uric acid which is the primary cause of this disease. The juice of half a lime, squeezed into a glass of water, should be taken twice daily.


Gout Diet
Fast of Orange juice and water
For an acute attack, there is no better remedy than a fast of orange juice and water. In severe cases, it is advisable to undertake a series of short fasts for three days or so rather than one long fast.

All fruit diet
After the acute symptoms subside, the patient may adopt an all fruit diet for another three or four days.

Natural food diet
Thereafter, he may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of natural foods, with emphasis on fresh fruits, raw vegetables, and sprouts.

Avoid purine and acid producing foods
The patient should avoid all purine and uric acid-producing foods such as all meats, eggs, and fish; tea, coffee, sugar, white flour and its products; and all canned, processed, and fried foods.


Other Gout Treatment
Warm water enema
A warm-water enema should be used daily during the period of fasting to cleanse the bowels.

Epsom salt bath
Epsom salts foot baths are advised twice daily. About 250 gm - 500gm of these salts may be added to tolerably hot water for this purpose. Full Epsom salt baths should also be taken three times a week. The baths may be reduced to two per week later.

Cold packs, fresh air, exercise, reduced stress
Cold packs, applied to the affected joints at night, will be beneficial. Fresh air and outdoor exercise are also essential. The patient should eliminate as much stress from his life as possible

Emergency Gout Treatments
If the pain is unbearable due to an acute gout attack:


Go to the doctor or a hospital for an injection of steroid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It can relieve the pain instantly
Apply an FDA-approved topical anesthetic spray, gel, cream, or lotion to the gout attack sites to numb the skin to relieve the surface pain. These products are available over the counter and aren't very expensive (read the product direction before applying).
DO NOT take aspirin. It will worsen the attack. Also avoid alcohol, acidic foods and drinks, carbonated drinks, loop and thiazide diuretics, niacin, vitamin C, dehydration, crash dieting, low carbohydrate diet, starvation, and change in medication. They will worsen and prolong the attack.
PROMPTLY take the medicine for treating gout attack the doctor prescribed -- usually Indomethacin, another NSAID, Colchicine, or Prednisone. If the doctor is unavailable take a over-the-counter (OTC) NSAID such as Ibuprofen or Naproxen, until seeing a doctor. For OTC NSAIDs, American Academy of Family Physicians recommends the following for treating acute gout attacks. Reduce the dosage as the attack subsides.
Indomethacin (Rx) 25~50 mg 4 times a day
Ibuprofen (OTC) 800 mg 4 times a day
Naproxen (OTC) 500 mg 2 times a day, or other NSAIDs
(Note . Acetaminophen is not anti-inflammatory and is not as helpful as an NSAID.)
Have doctor's approval before trying this: drink 1/2 (flat) teaspoon (2.5 grams) of baking soda in a glass of water once before going to bed, once after getting up in the morning, and every 2-4 hours in between when the stomach is not very full -- up to a total of 4 teaspoons a day. It can make Indomethacin and other NSAIDs more effective and may even eradicate gout. It may temporary raise the blood pressure. Cut salt intake. Monitor the blood pressure if one is hypertensive. Stop taking baking soda if the blood pressure becomes too high. Read Section 2.7 below for other possible side effects.
DO NOT initiate Allopurinol or Probenecid during the gout attack. They will lower the blood uric acid level suddenly, and will worsen and prolong the attack. Start them gradually in increased dosages 4~6 weeks after gout attack is completely gone, preferably with Indomethacin, colchicine, etc. to avoid another gout attack. However, if they were initiated before the attack, do not stop and keep taking them.
Drink 10-12 glasses of ALKALINE water (pH>7) a day.
Eat 30-40 dark or bright colored cherries or berries, or drink equivalent amount of their fresh juice every 4 hours. They contain anthocyanins which is anti-inflammatory and can ease the attack. AVOID oranges, cranberries, tomatoes, pineapples and most of other fruits and fruit juices because they are very acidic and can worsen the gout attacks.
Remove the shoes, socks, or clothing from the attack sites and avoid any stress on them.
Ice the red, hot, and painful attack sites for 10-15 minutes at a time, several times a day. It can ease the pain. After the acute attacks have subsided, soak the attack sites in warm/hot water and gently massage the jell- or dough-like exudate to help the swelling go down faster. See section 3.30 for more on icing.
Elevate the attack sites above the heart level to help drain the body fluids and relieve the pain.
Rest until gout is completely gone -- usually in several days to a few weeks. Premature used of the attacked joints may prolong or bring back the attack.
Learn more about gout to prevent and treat future attacks. Gout is an insidious monster. It often starts with an innocent twinge at night or when one is tired and inattentive. If one does not take gout medicine in a few hours after the first sign of gout, it becomes more difficult to treat; takes no gout medicine in 12 hours, it becomes a war. Do not leave town without bringing gout medicine to the trip.
