There's a lot of food and drinks that cause gout, alcohol, eating to much bacon, red meat, and sugary drinks, tell her to talk to her Dr. About Colchicine is used to relieve gout pain, plus allopurinol as a part of a gout treatment plan.
I have had something this week where I could hardly walk. I read where if I soak my feet in epsom salt, peroxide, and baking Soda it would help. I did in warm water for 20 minutes and the pain was gone. For two days now no pain!!!!!!!
I had my first gout attack a couple of months ago. I’d recently been diagnosed as diabetic so I was eating a low carb diet, so I was mostly eating protein. I’m assuming that may have played a role although I’d followed a similar diet before with no issues. My doctor gave me a prescription for colchicine and it resolved in a few days. I had a brief flare up a couple of weeks later and again took colchicine. A couple of months later, I had pain in the knuckle at the base of my middle finger. My doctor wasn’t convinced it was gout, but it was a similar pain and colchicine helped. Finally, I had an attack in my ankle. I suffered for a couple of days before getting a refill of colchicine and icing my ankle. It took about week to feel better. I’ve been taking tart cherry capsules and limiting high purine proteins. If I have another flare up, I guess I’ll see a rheumatologist. Im going to try some of these suggested beverages as well although I don’t drink coffee.
Thank you Doc, you have a good heart, thanks for helping all of us with all your videos, i have pickef so many helpful things to help my health and that of others eith various health issues. I wish i were closer to u i would see u for office visits. God bless u doc❤😊
Dilution is not the solution to the pollution. Take away the cause of the accumulation. The major cause of gout caused by uric acid is the breakdown of fructose, not meat and seafood. The consumption of fructose has been going up right along with the incidence of gout. People who go on Carnivore way of eating get rid of their gout pain despite eating only meat and seafood. Cut out the sugar, juice, and sweet fruits. Also, when you eat a lot of any carbohydrates at one time, the liver needs to get rid of the glucose fast and converts a lot of it to fructose via the polyol pathway, resulting in more uric acid. Lactose is an equal amount of glucose and galactose, so skim milk is also going to raise glucose levels. Better to drink whole milk or have heavy cream in your coffee. Keeps blood glucose lower and gives fat soluble vitamins A,D, and K2 as well. Sucrose (table sugar) is 50:50 glucose and fructose. High fructose corn syrup is 48:52 not much different, so avoid both. Another cause of gout is oxalate crystals. Unless a sample is taken from a joint and special processing and staining done, you won't know if it is one or both types of crystals. Oxalate crystals can form anywhere in the body causing pain. It was the cause of decades of fibromyalgia for me. High oxalate foods are most nuts, spinach, tea (black or green), chocolate, sweet potatoes, beets, brown rice, whole wheat, etc. Also supplementing more vitamin C than your body needs is broken down into oxalates. See videos by Prof. Ben Bikman and Sally K Norton for more information.
Thank you for a well educated and crafted reply. I'm already a Ben Bikman fan. The issue I have is fructose. As a huge fruit fan it is hard to draw the line at how much is acceptable. Certainly all those colorful antioxidants can't be bad for you.
I changed to a Carnivore high fat diet, cutting carbohydrates and suger to zero. No gout and unbelievable improvement in health and losing weight like crazy...no cravings and never hungry..
Good job. my rheumatoid doctor said stop consuming all sugar and eating meat is fine. I was vegetarian for 10 years and it was worse. My uric acid level has dropped below 6 and I am feeling fine now after switching to a carnivore, low carb diet.
But doctor wants us to stay away from red meat. Only a scoop of rice a day. No bread. Only boiled eggs and green vegetables. Sometimes. One banana or kiwi or clementines. Otherwise no man made sweets.
That's interesting - have just had a 4 week bout of Gout, first ever in my life (I'm aged 77) and there is no family history of it as far as I'm aware. I know I don't drink enough and have been on diuretics for over 30 years for mild lymphoedema....2 of the biggest culprits right there! Certainly not a big consumer of any of the foods mentioned - especially not big on sugar. Hope never, ever to experience it again.....excruciatingly painful.
@@gk7908 I was getting gout more often, more severe and lasting longer until I started following a nutritionist on UA-cam. He basically said to stay away from sugars and carbohydrates. I have not only lost weight but I have not had another gout attack. My family had no history of gout.
The top cherry juice works a little bit. But if someone who had severe gout and both feet ankles knees and elbow I will tell you the absolute best stuff is pomegranate juice. It takes you 2 years to get rid of the gout and that's like if you work it out sweating on a regular basis watching your diet no sugar no sodas you can't drink any of that crap you can't drink black tea because it gives you the gout in the wrist
I have been drinking green tea daily for years . Recently I added lemon juice every morning as well. I try avoid junk food & yet these few days just started - extreme pain on my big toe & swelling
Skim milk and coffee definitely helped me whilst I had gout. As for lemon juice, I needed half a glass of it with water before it worked! Good ideas here!
@@DrTomBiernacki The good results were noticeable after around 20 minutes. Unfortunately, I had to go boring carnivore to really get rid of gout symptoms. I must have terrible DNA, so radical diets are needed.
I used to have episodes of gout at times. Once I thought I’d try a couple of Aleve tabs, just to fight the pain. Not only did it relieve the pain, it healed the swelling as well. It’s been several years, and I haven’t had gout since!
I suffered from severe gout 10 years ago for three years. I tried all kinds of treatments, but they always failed until I finally found the solution. The remedy is water guava (rose apple) and bananas. During the first 30 days, I ate 1 kilogram of water guava and 8 bananas every day. After that, the amount could be reduced to weekly and then monthly. Now, I only eat them if symptoms appear. After eating water guava and bananas, the symptoms disappear within three days.
The gout care pack of planet ayurveda consists of Ashwagandha, Shallaki (Boswellia), and Guggul, which are known for their powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
I just got over uric acid build up in ankle from eating turkey tails. I drank 16 ounces of water with about 2 ounces of lime juice in it. A few minutes later I could actually feel the discomfort disappear completely. It only lasted about an hour before some of the discomfort returned but it was very effective for me. BTW, I do have some liver issues going on so that’s probably why I had the uric acid buildup from the meat.
This is so far the best video I saw about this problem. Your voice is very clear (that is important for people that are not native english speaking people) and it was a very good idea to put subtitles. Very well done.

The best way for me 1. Stop any protein, sugar, high potassium fruit (to stop the flare up) 2. Drink 3-4 ltrs a day, its better with high ph water 3. One day fasting One day eat 4. Consume high vit c fruit and anti oxidant ....... These method take whole weeks to fully recovery.

Interesting and thanks. My uric acid in Jan 2022 was 396. No gout but had lots of joint pain in toes/feet. In Jan 2024 had first major gout flare up. Reading was 351. Strange how less but it flared up. Now on allopurinol and for 2 months had strange sensations in both feet and toes plus on the inside of my knees. Level reduced to 311 after month 1 and now at 296 and told to stay on 200mg a day. But I still have sensations in joints and a numbness in big toes on both feet. Doc just says carry on taking same level of allopurinol. 🤔
Hello Dr Biernacki, is it common to have gout for the first time, after a long surgery, under anesthesia? If it is, does it usually go away after healing from surgery?
Dear Dr Biernacki! I've been suffering from pain in my ankle and foot for more than a year, once my right foot and once my left foot. I thought about gout syndrome but the thing is, the big toe joint doesn't hurt at all! Never! More painful on the outside of the foot and/or ankle. The pH level in the blood is relatively high (around 7.5), but how can you know for sure that it is gout syndrome? The painful area is indeed swollen, reddish and hot. The pain also "moves" to the area under the foot, but not always. It's changing.
Quick home made fix for gout is 1tsp sodium bicarb with some lemon juice or 1/4 tsp vic c powder in glass of water. Works for me. Don't consume too much lemon juice as this will have a counter effect on gout (my experience)
I start the day with a large glass of water with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and two tablespoons of tart cherry juice. Try to stay away from all types of sugar and carbohydrates.
Fructose is the single biggest contributor to uric acid levels, not purines. Michigan Foot Doc should read Richard Johnson, MD book "Nature Wants Us To Be Fat" and David Perlmutter, MD book "Drop Acid" for the most up-to-date perspective on the subject. Recommended drinks presented here are very good advice, but missed the most effective one: apple cider vinegar. It works indirectly by smoothing out blood sugar spikes, slowing fructose absorption. The sugar allulose does wonders as well.
So if what you say is true..why I'm I stuck in bed with left knee flare up and left foot flare up after consuming Walmart Great Value chicken nuggets? Which had no fructose. I find fructose and purine impact gout flares..and hidden yeast extract in processed food. Fructose is not sole culprit. At least in my case.
@@moondrop3013 well I don't deep fry things at all never have. So if I don't air fry and I don't deep fry what would be the alternative? You didn't support your position for not using an air fryer.

I was binge eating asparagus from my garden, then ate some herring snacks. I woke up with gout my first time. Reading n researching food n vitamins I found these both can cause this. I drank cranberry juice, took extra vit C and tons of water. Elevated my foot n put a bag of frozen peas on it. It was gone in about 4 hrs. Any dark berries cherries etc along with water n vit C. I still enjoy those foods but in moderation. Cauliflower was also a listed cause.
This makes sense. Cranberry is the go-to for UTI as it is a geat diereric (makes your excessively urinate)...so you put tons of water in you to flush the uric deposits out, and the cranberry hyper-accellerated the unirary process
I find this interesting. I get gout attacks from Spinach, Mushrooms, red meat and beer. Since cutting all of these out of my diet I haven’t had a gout attack.
I completely disagree. Sugar, fructose, high fructose corn syrup and carbohydrates or the number one reason people get gout. It's due to the underlying condition called insulin resistance. On ce your body is not correctly using insulin is where all the trouble starts. Those foods that you're eating that you think are the problem are only causing the problem because of you being backed up with insulin resistance. Check out Dr. Ken Berry on UA-cam. He changed my life. I all the high purine foods that I want and I never have a gout flare up. The only time I've had cow flare-ups after figuring this out is because of too much sugar and carbohydrates.
You mentioned drinking Green tea but if anyone has gout we are on meds and Green tea has vitamin k in which will bringbour blood levels back to a normal level.
This is my second time with gout. The first time wasn’t so bad but the this time I was in massive pain and I’ve had my appendix burst before and this pain is worse
thank you for sharing this useful information... Gout Care Pack of Planet Ayurveda which contains Kaishore Guggul, Punarnava capsules, Giloy Capsules, Navkarshik Churna and Dashmularisht ia very useful in gout management
Its a blood test, you can request it from your GP or anyone that would deal with gout or kidney stones, like a Podiatrist, urologist or a hematologist.
When i drink sometimes my big toe would separate like a spasm away from other toes mineral deficiency i bought yoga toe seperaters to stop it from moving worked wonders
Hi, just came across your video. I have two questions. (1) I have acid reflux can I still drink the lemon water for my gout? (2) Can I drink almond milk instead of skim milk as I am lactose intolerant?
I have those issues after spicy nights, avocado, yogurt fage 5 % after or with meal or b4 bedtime works most times. No meds or baking sodas with avocado or FAge
@@sandraparrish3750 acid reflux is not caused by too much acid. It is actually caused by too little. Organic sauerkraut or pickled beets or sour pickles also work. I now periodically eat sauerkraut and my acid reflux never came back
I do about 2oz of juice added to 8oz of water. I used fresh squeezed, but honestly, you can just get a bottle of lemon juice and use that, it tastes the same.
I drinking a lemon water and peach and cucumber and taking medicine GoUric . i don't know why my feet swell without any reason.. I felt lot of pain for 3 days i can't walk without help ...my ankle is swelled alot
I have severe hip arthritis and down my entire right leg, then I got gout in my big toe that has traveled to my ankle. I can’t shake it I can’t even sleep at night. I checked my uric acid level and it was 10.2 I dieted and used celery seed and tart cherry, no help.i checked my uric acid again a few days later and it increased to 11.4. I started on Allopurinol and it has helped reduce my UA, but I can’t get the swelling down. Never been this bad
@@saltwaterinmyveins I tried baking soda, honestly I have tried everything and my ankle is so bad I can barely walk. I have had Gout for decades but this has got me stumped, I don’t have an answer. I’m wondering if there is something else going on. God knows
@julieannenoel5875 I have a meter to check my levels, so far it’s been fairly accurate. But sadly the company that makes the strips have stopped producing them. So I only have a few strips left, it’s called UASure.
Who should I see when I have a gout attack in my knee? I know i have a uric acid level of 7. I drink lots of water and added coffee. Green Tea did not help me at all. I hardly eat meat and seafood and never consume high fructose corn syrup. I am a diabetic though.
Please be specific with coffee as instant coffee is not a good choice for perople with gout. Brewed coffee with skim milk and no sugar is a healthier choice. And dont forget to drink water after the coffee
Hi Dr. Great video. I have been suffering from gout on and off for over 30 years. I take Allipurinol on a daily basis and have completely changed my diet. Unfortunately, 4 weeks ago today, I injured my foot, twisted a ligament and semi broke my 5 th metatarsal. The pain was immense. My Dr. gave me Co Codimal, which bought on the biggest gout attack I think I have ever had. Not on,y did my big toe swell up as usual, but also my heel and my skin showed signs of tophi which even over 30 years, I have never had before. I can’t use Ibuprofen as it has the same chemical in as Aspirin which I also can’t use, as it brings on gout. What pain relief can you recommend? Is paracetamol ok? Or will it be just as bad? R.S.V.P. Thank you, and all the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

This Describes my foot to a T . The past week. Ive been trying to bring down my uric levels. Just when it seems to get better it flares again. I was previously trying to change or watch my diet because of sugars and Carbs i was put on metphormin 5 or 6 months ago but i have to be careful with it. And i drink water and lemon water and certain liquidss. Ive lost maybe 20 30 lbs past 3or 4 months. And right when i was switching jobs about to start my foot did this . I did stump my toe about a month or so ago and was fine for 2 weeks then this happend outta no where , it gets bad, then starts to get better then kinda bothers me again because i have to work. Ive even been ice bathing it to get swrlling down and watching it and propping it up and taking ibuprofen when needed but rarely. But now im thinking it may be trauma to my big toe and knuckle? Along with gout or whatever . I had a similar experince this past year dame spot. But it only lasted 2or 3 days. This time a week . Im 42
Cold compress is not recommend, it crystalize uric acid in affected joint. Hot compress will make more blood flow to affected joint and worsen flare-up
After 30+ years of, sometimes excruciating, pain in both feet, I finally figured out what my trigger was.....................SODIUM NITRATE!!! Now, ten years free!! Thanks

For Gout Sufferers, The University of Otago in New Zealand completed a study and found gout more hereditary than food, but yes these do ease symptoms.
That's interesting - have just had a 4 week bout of Gout, first ever in my life (I'm aged 77) and there is no family history of it as far as I'm aware. I know I don't drink enough and have been on diuretics for over 30 years for mild lymphoedema....2 of the biggest culprits right there! Certainly not a big consumer of any of the foods mentioned - especially not big on sugar. Hope never, ever to experience it again.....excruciatingly painful.
@@gk7908 I was getting gout more often, more severe and lasting longer until I started following a nutritionist on UA-cam. He basically said to stay away from sugars and carbohydrates. I have not only lost weight but I have not had another gout attack. My family had no history of gout.
@@HP-jm3zb I have no gout in my family. I will get gout if I eat sugars and carbohydrates. If I stay away from them I don't get any more gout attacks.
The top cherry juice works a little bit. But if someone who had severe gout and both feet ankles knees and elbow I will tell you the absolute best stuff is pomegranate juice. It takes you 2 years to get rid of the gout and that's like if you work it out sweating on a regular basis watching your diet no sugar no sodas you can't drink any of that crap you can't drink black tea because it gives you the gout in the wrist
Cherries,berries,lemon water,apple cider vinegar, 4 ltrs of water
These helps to recover from Uric acid
Pure Apple cider vinigar in water , drink and soak in cloth to bind painful, area also helps quickly
Thank you, very informative...I gout and bunion how can I get rid of my bunion on the side of my big toe... Please tell me 😢😢 what to do..
Go to the doctors and get gout tablets
Change diet. Stay away from pills!@@GlideMotion

I have been drinking green tea daily for years . Recently I added lemon juice every morning as well. I try avoid junk food & yet these few days just started - extreme pain on my big toe & swelling
Skim milk and coffee definitely helped me whilst I had gout. As for lemon juice, I needed half a glass of it with water before it worked! Good ideas here!
Amazing, so they had good results for you?
@@DrTomBiernacki The good results were noticeable after around 20 minutes. Unfortunately, I had to go boring carnivore to really get rid of gout symptoms. I must have terrible DNA, so radical diets are needed.
@@krisjustin3884 get your eGFR tested regularly to see how your kidneys fare cause of the carnivore diet. Carnivore is heavy on the kidney
How much lemon juice to water ratio?
@@carlaflickinger7694 1 part lemon juice and 2 parts water.
I used to have episodes of gout at times. Once I thought I’d try a couple of Aleve tabs, just to fight the pain. Not only did it relieve the pain, it healed the swelling as well. It’s been several years, and I haven’t had gout since!
Careful! Aleve is very damaging to the kidneys. So much so that you cannot donate a kidney if you've taken it.
I had to stop Aleve and Advil years ago to manage pain in my flare-ups..caused edema for me
my dad gave me his concoction of 1 prednisone and 1 aleve...in 4 hrs I was like kaiser souze at the end of usual suspects lol
I suffered from severe gout 10 years ago for three years. I tried all kinds of treatments, but they always failed until I finally found the solution. The remedy is water guava (rose apple) and bananas. During the first 30 days, I ate 1 kilogram of water guava and 8 bananas every day. After that, the amount could be reduced to weekly and then monthly. Now, I only eat them if symptoms appear. After eating water guava and bananas, the symptoms disappear within three days.
Doc .my uric acid is 7. I take my medicine Allopurinol. I try drink green tea. Thanks doc .for advice ..
The gout care pack of planet ayurveda consists of Ashwagandha, Shallaki (Boswellia), and Guggul, which are known for their powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
I don’t get gout in my toe I do however get it in my ankle which is excruciating. Should I still be drink any during an attack?
I just got over uric acid build up in ankle from eating turkey tails. I drank 16 ounces of water with about 2 ounces of lime juice in it. A few minutes later I could actually feel the discomfort disappear completely. It only lasted about an hour before some of the discomfort returned but it was very effective for me. BTW, I do have some liver issues going on so that’s probably why I had the uric acid buildup from the meat.
You are so awesome, thank you!
This is so far the best video I saw about this problem. Your voice is very clear (that is important for people that are not native english speaking people) and it was a very good idea to put subtitles. Very well done.

We are working hard every day to make better and more meaningful content! This is what keeps us going, for sure.
The best way for me
1. Stop any protein, sugar, high potassium fruit (to stop the flare up)
2. Drink 3-4 ltrs a day, its better with high ph water
3. One day fasting One day eat
4. Consume high vit c fruit and anti oxidant
.......
These method take whole weeks to fully recovery.
Which fruits do you eat?
Excellent video, Dr. Biernacki! ❤️🌹

Interesting and thanks. My uric acid in Jan 2022 was 396. No gout but had lots of joint pain in toes/feet. In Jan 2024 had first major gout flare up. Reading was 351. Strange how less but it flared up.
Now on allopurinol and for 2 months had strange sensations in both feet and toes plus on the inside of my knees. Level reduced to 311 after month 1 and now at 296 and told to stay on 200mg a day. But I still have sensations in joints and a numbness in big toes on both feet. Doc just says carry on taking same level of allopurinol. 🤔
Hello Dr Biernacki, is it common to have gout for the first time, after a long surgery, under anesthesia? If it is, does it usually go away after healing from surgery?
Skim milk is full of lactose (sugar). Unfortunately, the fat was removed so nothing to absorb the sugar. Am I correct?
Dear Dr Biernacki!
I've been suffering from pain in my ankle and foot for more than a year, once my right foot and once my left foot. I thought about gout syndrome but the thing is, the big toe joint doesn't hurt at all! Never! More painful on the outside of the foot and/or ankle. The pH level in the blood is relatively high (around 7.5), but how can you know for sure that it is gout syndrome?
The painful area is indeed swollen, reddish and hot. The pain also "moves" to the area under the foot, but not always. It's changing.
Gout can present itself anywhere. Even if it’s not in your big toe. Best is to get a diagnosis.
I'm using malunggay tea. Moringa leaves it's good.
Epektib bsayo sir Yan Moringa at malunggay leaves
What about moringga tea?
Quick home made fix for gout is 1tsp sodium bicarb with some lemon juice or 1/4 tsp vic c powder in glass of water. Works for me. Don't consume too much lemon juice as this will have a counter effect on gout (my experience)
So helpful, great video. Thank you.
Makes sense. The last few months I got back into green tea. Wondering why I haven't got inflammed joints as of yet.
Green tea helps remove gout. No cause it.
How do you not mention tart cherry juice? That’s like the most recommended thing.
Thankyou for this information .
Do plant-based protein shakes increase the risk for a gout attack? By the way, great info. Thank you.
What about tart cherry juice? I've heard it helps reduce chances of gout.
Yes very helpful.
I start the day with a large glass of water with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and two tablespoons of tart cherry juice. Try to stay away from all types of sugar and carbohydrates.
Works for me
thank you dr. very informative - 🇵🇭
Is raw milk good to consume in subsitute of skim milk?

After 30 yrs started using borax haven't had a problem since
How do you use the borax
What do you do with the Borax??
Drinking Green Tea and Chicory infused coffee is a triple threat combo that is incredible for treating gout.
Fructose is the single biggest contributor to uric acid levels, not purines. Michigan Foot Doc should read Richard Johnson, MD book "Nature Wants Us To Be Fat" and David Perlmutter, MD book "Drop Acid" for the most up-to-date perspective on the subject. Recommended drinks presented here are very good advice, but missed the most effective one: apple cider vinegar. It works indirectly by smoothing out blood sugar spikes, slowing fructose absorption. The sugar allulose does wonders as well.
So if what you say is true..why I'm I stuck in bed with left knee flare up and left foot flare up after consuming Walmart Great Value chicken nuggets? Which had no fructose. I find fructose and purine impact gout flares..and hidden yeast extract in processed food. Fructose is not sole culprit. At least in my case.
@@marcc5768it’s processed eat real organic chicken dark meat is better.
@@moondrop3013 I've sworn off chicken nuggies and strip regardless of brand now. When I want chicken I air fry thighs/wings or drumsticks
@@marcc5768 shouldn’t air fry
@@moondrop3013 well I don't deep fry things at all never have. So if I don't air fry and I don't deep fry what would be the alternative? You didn't support your position for not using an air fryer.
VERY VERY GOOD!

Pomegranate juice??thank you
I was binge eating asparagus from my garden, then ate some herring snacks. I woke up with gout my first time. Reading n researching food n vitamins I found these both can cause this. I drank cranberry juice, took extra vit C and tons of water. Elevated my foot n put a bag of frozen peas on it. It was gone in about 4 hrs. Any dark berries cherries etc along with water n vit C. I still enjoy those foods but in moderation. Cauliflower was also a listed cause.
This makes sense. Cranberry is the go-to for UTI as it is a geat diereric (makes your excessively urinate)...so you put tons of water in you to flush the uric deposits out, and the cranberry hyper-accellerated the unirary process
Asparagus is another potential gout trigger..me included. Haven't touched asparagus in over 10 years
I find this interesting. I get gout attacks from Spinach, Mushrooms, red meat and beer. Since cutting all of these out of my diet I haven’t had a gout attack.
@@jasontillman7283 all that you mentioned are high purine sources
I completely disagree. Sugar, fructose, high fructose corn syrup and carbohydrates or the number one reason people get gout. It's due to the underlying condition called insulin resistance. On ce your body is not correctly using insulin is where all the trouble starts. Those foods that you're eating that you think are the problem are only causing the problem because of you being backed up with insulin resistance. Check out Dr. Ken Berry on UA-cam. He changed my life. I all the high purine foods that I want and I never have a gout flare up. The only time I've had cow flare-ups after figuring this out is because of too much sugar and carbohydrates.
What about RHeumatiod .its also gout
You mentioned drinking Green tea but if anyone has gout we are on meds and Green tea has vitamin k in which will bringbour blood levels back to a normal level.
❤The best Explanation i heard to date.❤
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thanks doc! Really helpful!
This is my second time with gout. The first time wasn’t so bad but the this time I was in massive pain and I’ve had my appendix burst before and this pain is worse
thank you for sharing this useful information... Gout Care Pack of Planet Ayurveda which contains Kaishore Guggul, Punarnava capsules, Giloy Capsules, Navkarshik Churna and Dashmularisht ia very useful in gout management
How can I get my Uric acid levels checked? People who have diabetes have blood monitors. Could this be available for this as well?
Its a blood test, you can request it from your GP or anyone that would deal with gout or kidney stones, like a Podiatrist, urologist or a hematologist.
Nettle tea has been the best cure for gout flare ups. After 2 sips, the pain was almost gone
I get severe flare ups and I am going to try your idea. Thanks!
How did it go @@erickarch169
Did it work??
Black Coffee is really good in Moderation :)
Can I drink those? Even though I have Gerd?
how about meloxicam?
When i drink sometimes my big toe would separate like a spasm away from other toes mineral deficiency i bought yoga toe seperaters to stop it from moving worked wonders
This video helped me understand the symptoms better. I'm very grateful for the useful information!
"There is only one thing I hate more than lying. Skim milk, which is water that's lying about being milk.” - Ron Swanson
Good day doc.Can i ask i have 122 uric acid is it alarming ? What food can i eat thank you so much
Eat salad everyday
Can I substitute coconut milk?
Saturated fat content is kinda high..not recommend
Hi, just came across your video. I have two questions. (1) I have acid reflux can I still drink the lemon water for my gout? (2) Can I drink almond milk instead of skim milk as I am lactose intolerant?
Best thing for stomach acid 😊 1 tablespoon of bio carb of soda in a cup of water 💦 on a empty stomach stir drink acid gone 😊
I have those issues after spicy nights, avocado, yogurt fage 5 % after or with meal or b4 bedtime works most times. No meds or baking sodas with avocado or FAge
I would avoid almond "milk" almonds are high in oxalates
@sandraparrish3750 I eat cayenne habanero spicy...have avocado 🥑 and or fage yogurt 5% and no acid reflux issues 🤔
@@sandraparrish3750 acid reflux is not caused by too much acid. It is actually caused by too little. Organic sauerkraut or pickled beets or sour pickles also work. I now periodically eat sauerkraut and my acid reflux never came back
What works for me is ginger lemon turmeric tea. Just boil water and put those in. And lots and lots of water intake.
Dose apple cider vinegar work as well as the 5 drinks you recommend
2 spoonful apple 🍎 cider vinegar in a glass of water
Yes it works
I never had gout u til my stroke, it took 5ish years only on my effective side do people ever get gout in Both feet ?toes?
How much lemon water should I take a day? And is it juice or slices in my plain drinking water?
I do about 2oz of juice added to 8oz of water. I used fresh squeezed, but honestly, you can just get a bottle of lemon juice and use that, it tastes the same.
I have very low uric acid in blood and I don't have any kidney problems. Why I still have gout?
Radish juice,carem seeds water,apple cider vinegar, cherry juice or dried and lemon water my personal experience
What about some of the other drinks ppl mention. Like cherry juice, ginger, green( celery cucumber )
I drinking a lemon water and peach and cucumber and taking medicine GoUric . i don't know why my feet swell without any reason.. I felt lot of pain for 3 days i can't walk without help ...my ankle is swelled alot
I’m going through this right now the worst flair up I’ve ever had I don’t know what to do
Peaches are high fructose which influences gout flare-up. Back away from peaches. Opt for nectarines that are still hard and crispy..not soft
I have severe hip arthritis and down my entire right leg, then I got gout in my big toe that has traveled to my ankle. I can’t shake it I can’t even sleep at night. I checked my uric acid level and it was 10.2 I dieted and used celery seed and tart cherry, no help.i checked my uric acid again a few days later and it increased to 11.4. I started on Allopurinol and it has helped reduce my UA, but I can’t get the swelling down. Never been this bad
Try a teaspoon of baking soda in some water. Immediately relived.
@@saltwaterinmyveins I tried baking soda, honestly I have tried everything and my ankle is so bad I can barely walk. I have had Gout for decades but this has got me stumped, I don’t have an answer. I’m wondering if there is something else going on. God knows
@@hertfordable That’s tough!
@julieannenoel5875 I have a meter to check my levels, so far it’s been fairly accurate. But sadly the company that makes the strips have stopped producing them. So I only have a few strips left, it’s called UASure.
"Cows head" a chinese medicine. after you've been cured change your lifestyle eating and drinking softdrinks and artificial juice @@hertfordable
Is Macha also good for gout? Or does its high oxalate level cause it to have the opposite effect?
Oxalates will irritate a flare up
Who should I see when I have a gout attack in my knee? I know i have a uric acid level of 7. I drink lots of water and added coffee. Green Tea did not help me at all. I hardly eat meat and seafood and never consume high fructose corn syrup. I am a diabetic though.
Coffee and green tea doesn't help all gout sufferers. Coffee and green tea trigger flare up for me.
Please be specific with coffee as instant coffee is not a good choice for perople with gout. Brewed coffee with skim milk and no sugar is a healthier choice. And dont forget to drink water after the coffee
Add apple cider to your mixture and beetroot juice with celery x ginger cucumbers x lemon juice for want to get rid of the purine in the body
Pls for how long or how meny time will I take
Sour cherry, celery seed, water, coffee, vitamin c, low fat milk.
Hi Dr.
Great video.
I have been suffering from gout on and off for over 30 years. I take Allipurinol on a daily basis and have completely changed my diet.
Unfortunately, 4 weeks ago today, I injured my foot, twisted a ligament and semi broke my 5 th metatarsal. The pain was immense.
My Dr. gave me Co Codimal, which bought on the biggest gout attack I think I have ever had. Not on,y did my big toe swell up as usual, but also my heel and my skin showed signs of tophi which even over 30 years, I have never had before. I can’t use Ibuprofen as it has the same chemical in as Aspirin which I also can’t use, as it brings on gout. What pain relief can you recommend?
Is paracetamol ok? Or will it be just as bad? R.S.V.P.
Thank you, and all the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

@@DrTomBiernacki SO WHAT ADVICE DO YOU GIVE.?
No answer...🙈
I used meloxicam 15 mg tablet is stronger than ibuprofen
@@MrEsttaifan I can’t use it due to a chemical in it which does not agree with me.
This Describes my foot to a T . The past week. Ive been trying to bring down my uric levels. Just when it seems to get better it flares again. I was previously trying to change or watch my diet because of sugars and Carbs i was put on metphormin 5 or 6 months ago but i have to be careful with it. And i drink water and lemon water and certain liquidss. Ive lost maybe 20 30 lbs past 3or 4 months. And right when i was switching jobs about to start my foot did this . I did stump my toe about a month or so ago and was fine for 2 weeks then this happend outta no where , it gets bad, then starts to get better then kinda bothers me again because i have to work. Ive even been ice bathing it to get swrlling down and watching it and propping it up and taking ibuprofen when needed but rarely. But now im thinking it may be trauma to my big toe and knuckle? Along with gout or whatever . I had a similar experince this past year dame spot. But it only lasted 2or 3 days. This time a week . Im 42
Cold compress is not recommend, it crystalize uric acid in affected joint. Hot compress will make more blood flow to affected joint and worsen flare-up
Thank you, Dr. For helping free of cost. A big thumbs up from Islamabad, Pakistan. Keep up the good work and don't stop uploading😁
No mention of TART CHERRY JUICE!? Really expensive , but its medicine in a bottle! Don't get a " blend" though!
