Is there anything you can do to prevent gout?

Question

What is the best medicine you can take, and can your diet affect gout?

Answer 1

gout is called the rich mans disease. it comes from eating too much red meat. It can be easily controlled. Cut back on red meat, and have your doctor prescribe "allopurinol". you take one tablet a day and it stops the formation of the crystals that cause the pain. If you are prone to gout, you will probably develop kidney stones as well. Allopurinol helps prevent that as well. Take it from me, you don't want to pass a kidney stone!!
