Stop carbs and sugar specifically fructose sugar and you will be ok. I went from 5 gout attacks a year to none now that I implemented this into my life. It is hard because I miss my peanut butter cookies but it beats the pain from gout so it's worth it thank you hope it helps someone.
@@miraxus6264 I have it from time to time with either lunch or dinner only one time a day. I purchase the smallest can they have available which is the 7 oz from the grocery store. I try not to buy the 12 oz because I feel that is excessive. Believe me I have given up a lot of the food that I enjoy but the way I see it beats the pain you get from gout , which in some cases for me not even the pain medication worked.

My physician tested and diagnosed me with gout. He prescribed Allopurinol. It laid me out. It was nasty. I was successfully dealing with my gout with blueberry juice. Only take allopurinol after colchicine has cleared the gout. My gout began with pedaigue, left big toe, age 70. If ignored it became a 9-10. Now I take 1 blueberry capsule daily. Sources are Puritan Pride or Life Extension. Now I rarely have gout problems. When an ache or swelling starts in my fingers, toes or ankles , two blueberry capsules and 2 advil remove all symptoms in 2 to 4 hours. This only reoccurs about once a year and is rapidly and easily dealt with.
Dehydration was causing my gout. After reading Dr. Perlmutter's book "Drop Acid" I decided to increase my water intake. I shoot for 5 quarts a day. Only 2 flares in over a year and both were related to letting myself get dehydrated. Yes, I pee a lot. Also add lemon juice to the first quart. Good luck.
5 quarts everyday. Number 1 how can anyone drink that much water. I sweat profusely in the summer from working outside and there's no way I could drink that much.
@@davidbrakefield188 It's not that hard. The usual recommended intake is a gallon or so. Just an extra quart over that amount. I don't drink soda or alcohol anymore, coffee and water are about it so 5 quarts is pretty easy to down.
I'm sure you've told this many times.....I so appreciate and respect you, and your practice, making these videos. And especially for suggesting and offering natural / home remedies as your first approach to helping and healing!
@@DrTomBiernacki lol, confirmed, Doc said it is a text book example of gout. Waiting for bloodwork and other test results. Doc prescribed methylprednisolone to start. I can only hope I'm one of those with the rare "random" case. The pain is like an 11 out of 10!
No one knows the pain until you get gout. The best thing I found that help relive the pain is Tart Cherrys you can get them in pill form. Take one a day I took one before I went to bed and the next morning I still had gout but the pain was much better.
I am currently in chronic pain with gout some months now. Taking allopurinol doesn't help. I bought tumeric and muringa oil and just started. The pain is real. Thank you for this video. From PNG.
I believe I developed it in my knee as really of acute arthritis, due to a dislocation 23 years ago. I asked my chiropractor what he suggested, and he said 1000mg of good quality vitamin C, 3x a day, with lots of water. As a vitamin junky, that was no problem for me. I saw instant results. The pain went from 8 while sitting still and 10 while standing up and still, to 1 sitting and maybe 2 to 3 standing up. That's after months of pain. My attacks usually didn't stem from diet alone, but every time I got on the treadmill for cardio. I could do leg extensions that would seem to ease the pain for a day, but then it was right back to square one.
I had horrible gout for 20 years. I tried all the remedies you suggest with no effect. Eliminating seed oils from my diet worked for me, I haven't had a gout flareup in 5 years.
I developed gout very soon after switching from regular sugar to XYLITOL, an alcohol sugar, this winter. After I almost lost one large toe, I found after the fact that Xylitol increases the incidence of gout by 800%. It triggered an autoimmune illness that even 2 rounds of prednisone has not gotten under control. I've been using apple cider vinegar, tart cherry concentrate, ginger and other supplements that are supposed to help. Some like curcumin and black pepper extract interfere significantly with a leukemia medicine I take daily. With that medication, Colcachine presents a 60% chance of hospitalization and a 25% chance of death. Epdom salt foot soaks are doing nothing so I'm soaking them in warm activated charcoal soaks to prevent infection from the broken skin. My toe has actually split. My MD referred me to a podiatrist whose staff ignored the referral. As a result, I'm having to wait 6 weeks to get an appointment. Allopurinol helps prevent the crystals from being formed but doesn't help dissolve out the uric acid crystals already there in the joint.
Excellent video! I found eating sour cherries and drinking skim milk helps. Avoiding sugar and carbohydrates works very well too, so a boring keto/carnivore diet does wonders. I don’t find meat causes it if I avoid sugar/carbs. Even a piece of bread or fruit or a glass of wine can trigger a flare! It’s like treating diabetes.
can you show me where the video is for the lemon juice/apple cider vinegar drink? I absolutely hate ACV by itself in water. I don't mind lemon water. thank you.
Thank you for explaining this- it only come once maybe a year- usually my ankles- tonight for the first time it's in my big toe- yes - water - I need to drink more of it! Grateful to have come across you - thank you again Dr.Tom😊
I’ve been taking Pineapple, cayenne pepper Ginger & turmeric with black pepper infusion with hot water. All mix in a mixer. My Gout not come back and I am not using allopurinol any more for about 5 months now.
I got gout for the first two weeks ago. I loved eating roast pork crackle. It's a staple here in New Zealand. Of course great pork needs to be washed down with great beer. But one morning I woke up with a sore foot. It was so bad I couldn't walk on it. Friend said it was gout. Boy did it hurt. Doctor gave me Prednisone and something else . But the pain was enough for me to stop drinking and eating meat and start looking at other food like juiced carrots. Really tasty.
I found it wasn’t the meat, so maybe you can enjoy the pork crackle as I do. Sadly, it is definitely the beer! Alcohol, sugar and just about any carbohydrate will start a gout flare for me. A carnivore diet worked like a miracle for me. Carnivore and salads as well as nuts and some yogurt and mineral water may be fine as well.
Two ALEVE tablets knocks the excruciating pain out of my gout. Prescriptions I got from my doctor did not work, so my husband said to try the Aleve and it worked.
The biggest tip is to stay hydrated at all times. I also invested in a uric acid monitor which was very revealing. I test my blood every morning so always know exactly where I am. Avoid fructose at all costs. Also, get used to eating alkali rich foods like raw celery. It’s bland but pain is a great motivator!

@lancebrasher8452 Amazon sell a uric acid tester. It's a little electronic device that reads a drop of your blood. It's very useful for tracking trend.
I have had chronic gout. I found a low carb , low oxalate, diet. The best with a lot of water. Low carb morning no more than 20 gross carbs total a day. Even broccoli can be hard to eat due to the high oxalate levels. Had something with mashed potatoes on the side . The high carb and oxalate level caused a flair up. Carbs is in almost everything.
I had bad gout in my twenties arising they said, from the extreme heat 100+degf that I worked in down the mine. I would drink up to 16 pints water in a shift and it all got sweated out, and rarely needed a pee. That messed with the kidneys getting rid of waste, including uric acid. Moved to a cooler mine and the problem stopped. For the next 30 years, I thought gout was 10/10 painful .... until I got Severe Acute Pancreatitis... that is a whole new pain scale. 4 months in Hospital and after major pancreas surgery, I have had to take digestive enzymes made from Pig Pancreases, and it is the high purine content in those, that sparked off a new series of attacks. Took a while to identify the cause, but after a couple of months taking Allopurinol the problem has gone ...... for now at least ;
Alupurinol did nothing for me. I couldn't walk at all, most pain ever in my life (age 69) then barley grass powder was suggested for me to take. One tablespoon daily in the morning as a breakfast smoothie with avocado, milk a little honey maybe a raw egg and sometimes a banana, 7 months pain free, not a touch of gout since then . It works for me, I hope this helps for others, XX
Thanks so much for the content. It's very helpful. Would love to hear your take on polyphenols (coffee, raw cocoa ....) and it's effect on uric acid levels in the body. I'm really curious to hear about how often or how much and when (before or after a bad meal) to ingest, similar to your piece on 'water'. These details are difficult to find online.

Colchicine and 5 litres of water minimum daily when suffering an attack. Its a long process but it didn't just happen overnight. Every normal day you should have 3 litre bottle of water and finish it. The other thing is stress. Easy to say it but don't put yourself in a stress position. I am sure it contributes to my attacks. Lately I have been gout free because I don't eat sugary drinks and food. I have cut out margarine and have butter and olive oil and lard for cooking chips Oh yes Just eat less
How about lemon favour sparking water or plain sparkling water both without any sugar or any sugar substitute? Also sparkling water have CO2 in it will that increase uric acid?
Nathan, thanks for the great response! Carbonated water is very mildly acidic and consumed very quickly disintegrates to carbon dioxide and water. In our body it does not get transformed in any acid. If possible, we would appreciate a quick and easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us! g.page/r/CZWo3fJqJrVpEBM/review Thanks again for watching!
If you get gout drink about 4L of water a day i do it with sugar free dilute juice it clears it in about 2 days. I had it yesterday today i can barely feel it but will still drink a lot of water to clear it. if you feel it starting drink lots of water

Indomethacin is a great anti-inflammatory, to relieve the swelling in The joint. Colchichine puts out the “fire” the terrible pain. Water is key!! Alcohol, red meat, sardines, anchovies, bad!
I was having severe gout attacks. I had to decide what food I was consuming the most of -- and had consumed the most of during my life. It was beef, hands down.; lots of beef since I was a child. I cut out ALL beef and about 80-90% of my attacks vanished. They say meat doesn't cause gout but it did for me, so that's total BS. I still have gout to some degree but not the horrible attacks that I used to have. Now, I drink a lot of water as well as one to two cans of seltzer a day (a trick I learned from a friend in France to break up crystals), lost weight, walk more and increase vegetables in my diet. I eat small dinners earlier than 6pm of mostly vegetables. Colchicine is great as well as indomethacin for relief.
I found it wasn’t the beef, but what I was having with the beef - bread, rice, noodles, potatoes along with dessert or beer. Meat and salad works well for me and now I take no medications.

I think what he was trying to say was put the ice pack just above where the flare up is. Such as if the flare is in your toes, put the ice pack just above that at the ankle joint. I believe he discussed this a little better and more in depth in another video.
I tried every one of these remedies (except for the prednisone), some of these reduced pain and swelling, but it never went away. I cured my gout 100% when I put 1/3 of a teaspoon of borax in my socks each morning, a side effect is that your feet and shoes stay fresh.
Haven't found what causes mine yet. VA hospital is horrible. Went to emergency room on crutches since both feet were so swollen I couldn't walk. VA ER Doctor said "why did you come here, this is an emergency room and it's for actual emergencies!" I yelled at him and said "I can't f**king walk, isn't that an emergency!" And then said "The VA help line nurse told me to come here!" They finally gave me a shot and sent me home after waiting 3 hours. I quit going since they never help and it's been sixteen years with this issue and they just say go home and rest. I started drinking warm lemon juice first thing in morning and it seems to help shorten the time it affects me. Used to be almost two weeks of pain and now it's about 4 to 5 days. Outside doctor's said my blood test show I have rampant inflammation in my body and can't figure it why. Oh well I'll keep trying things and hopefully figure it out on my own since I'm not rich enough to keep paying private doctor bills and VA hasn't tried figuring it out in last 16 years.

For me, a teaspoon of sodium Bicarbonate dissolved in a cup of water and drunk. Do this if you have it or feel it coming on. Drinking plenty of water is important. Check bad foods and avoid. Good luck.
I’m having a wretched Christmas Day gout attack after eating a ton of shrimp, red meat, bacon and alcohol over the last week. I was practically screaming from the pain. I used a mega-high powered body massager that someone gifted me - 😮- I rammed that thing in high right into the bottom of my toe joint with an ice gel pack for padding. I took advil, drank a ton of water, soaked in hot water then ice. within 30 minutes the OMG sever pain is mostly gone. don’t know if this was safe or not-I didn’t care at the time I was screaming in pain. I’m curious if this is safe or if there are any studies on using intense massage to break up those crystals.
I hope it feels better, another option that can work well is an epsom salt bath combined with anti-inflammatory medication, thank you and have a happy new year! 😊🙏

Even putting a bedsheet on is excruciating! Drinking lots of water and cutting the crap has helped me. And ibuprofen. Coming up to 2 years ago when mine happened, and has not come back since. This popped up in my YT recommendations to remind me of those dark days lol. I remember crawling to the bathroom.
@@ToeJam161oh god trying to walk something that took me 3 seconds to get to the bathroom took 2 minutes. The first battle is getting up out of bed. As soon as you put that swollen foot down it hurts so bad then you can only move baby steps you feel like a 80 year old using whatever you can grab onto to keep balance. Also forget about sleeping under the covers because the blanket makes everything hurt. I had to sleep on my stomach with my feet hanging over the end of the bed only way that didn’t hurt.
I just had my first gout attack in 2 years. I shouldn’t have been binge drinking the last 2 months with coworkers and investors. I eliminated fast food, soda, and processed foods. I reduced red meat to 1x a week at 4oz Drinking needs be reduced or eliminated.
Listen man, take a teaspoon of Baking Soda (two and half if youre currently having a flare up), take two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and take a teaspoon of lemon juice, and mix it well in a full cup or bottle of water. Drink that once to twice a week and I guarantee you gout will never come back and you can still eat and drink whatever you want.
If apple cider vinegar is such a powerful treatment and beer is bad, why is changing from beer to cider with a 30ml daily apple juice, ginger and lemon juice not effective?
I had no pain, no symptoms of gout, I went for a curry with mates, I had a lamb tikka for a starter then a lamb curry for a main. By the time I finished the curry the pain started. I got home it was ok but I took my shoe off then the the throbbing started. Torture for night.
@@tia7765 no , I was given naproxen for a while, but I may have to and get long-term treatment, I'm exercising more and eating well but it has its flare up. My problem is I work offshore.
1- Cherry juice 2- Apple cider vinegar (not too much, in the morning) 3- Ginger 4- Turmeric (adding some black pepper makes more efficient) 5- Epsom Salt ( mix it in your bath) 6- Lemon juice 7- Drink a lot of water
I have been told that a copper bracelet helps with tennis elbow and gout. The idea is to let your skin turn greenish from the copper and let the body absorb it. Myth?? Not sure
Sir can you how to get recover from fat pad atrophy in bottom of foot and heel. Is there any foods are any vitamins to regain fat and muscle in foot to start pain free life again.
@@BigBadJerryRogers somewhy liver destroy ADP. Uric acid has effect on metabolism. Biotin helps to destroy ADP. B5 is required for Acetyl-CoA and it is part of ADP... So I think it is some balancing ...
@@bjoshua1980--- What you're saying here is probably great information for everyone to have, if only we had a translator so we could understand what you're trying to tell us. I have no clue what you're trying to convey.
This entire video is a JOKE. I've had gout since 1985 and have tried all of these treatents over the years and not one of them give any relief at all. The best thing to do is to figure out what flares your gour up and then avoid it. For me, it is NOT meat. I can eat all the meat I want with no flare ups. For me it is Broccoli, cauliflower, Summer Squash, peanuts and peanit butter and for some crazy reason cinnamon. As long as I stay awat form all of these and food colcorings like what's in Kool-Air I have zero flare ups.

Why we got gout,because kidney don't working good,kidney weak,kidney function not good enough, kidney is clean every thing we eat in,when young we eat every thing no problem, even fat people, still no gout, because their kidneys good, the people have gout, can't eat this ,can't eat that,sick and tired, gout comeback anytime, one body part got proplem, we got proplem,

Question: What are the name of blood tests you recommended ? What is best type of Doctor one should go to for this problem?
Rheumatologist
@@phillipsmom6252 Thanks!
Uric acid level. I test mine at home every day.
@@Perchpole you can do uric acid level tests at home? Is it something you pick up at the pharmacy?
@lancebrasher8452 Amazon sell a uric acid tester. It's a little electronic device that reads a drop of your blood. It's very useful for tracking trend.
I have had chronic gout. I found a low carb , low oxalate, diet. The best with a lot of water. Low carb morning no more than 20 gross carbs total a day. Even broccoli can be hard to eat due to the high oxalate levels.
Had something with mashed potatoes on the side . The high carb and oxalate level caused a flair up.
Carbs is in almost everything.
Carbs is huge fore sure! Maybe you are sensitive to oxalates?
Great call, on the low carb. What would you consider oxalate options that you have found to avoid?
I had bad gout in my twenties arising they said, from the extreme heat 100+degf that I worked in down the mine. I would drink up to 16 pints water in a shift and it all got sweated out, and rarely needed a pee. That messed with the kidneys getting rid of waste, including uric acid. Moved to a cooler mine and the problem stopped.
For the next 30 years, I thought gout was 10/10 painful .... until I got Severe Acute Pancreatitis... that is a whole new pain scale. 4 months in Hospital and after major pancreas surgery, I have had to take digestive enzymes made from Pig Pancreases, and it is the high purine content in those, that sparked off a new series of attacks. Took a while to identify the cause, but after a couple of months taking Allopurinol the problem has gone ...... for now at least ;
Alupurinol did nothing for me. I couldn't walk at all, most pain ever in my life (age 69) then barley grass powder was suggested for me to take. One tablespoon daily in the morning as a breakfast smoothie with avocado, milk a little honey maybe a raw egg and sometimes a banana, 7 months pain free, not a touch of gout since then . It works for me, I hope this helps for others, XX
Thanks so much for the content. It's very helpful. Would love to hear your take on polyphenols (coffee, raw cocoa ....) and it's effect on uric acid levels in the body. I'm really curious to hear about how often or how much and when (before or after a bad meal) to ingest, similar to your piece on 'water'. These details are difficult to find online.

Colchicine and 5 litres of water minimum daily when suffering an attack.
Its a long process but it didn't just happen overnight. Every normal day you should have 3 litre bottle of water and finish it.
The other thing is stress. Easy to say it but don't put yourself in a stress position. I am sure it contributes to my attacks.
Lately I have been gout free because I don't eat sugary drinks and food. I have cut out margarine and have butter and olive oil and lard for cooking chips
Oh yes
Just eat less
How about just cutting out the chips? Refined carbs, inflammatory cooking process.
@@nickm2031 chips in the UK are not refined carbs. Just potatoes
I used to take colchicine but I had to take more and more . So the Dr put me on 300 MG Allopurinol. 2 years no attack.
How about lemon favour sparking water or plain sparkling water both without any sugar or any sugar substitute? Also sparkling water have CO2 in it will that increase uric acid?
Nathan, thanks for the great response!
Carbonated water is very mildly acidic and consumed very quickly disintegrates to carbon dioxide and water. In our body it does not get transformed in any acid.

That’s fine. Had this for years with no gout flares. The doctor is right!
What about baking soda in water up to 1 tsp a day? Is that something that helps?
Did the baking soda thing over 2 days, all gout gone👍
People laugh when I tell them to drink baking soda water. It really helps your stomach. Probably gout too.
If you get gout drink about 4L of water a day i do it with sugar free dilute juice it clears it in about 2 days. I had it yesterday today i can barely feel it but will still drink a lot of water to clear it. if you feel it starting drink lots of water
Thank you for sharing. I’ve a flare up right now..& it hurts soo bad. I’m gonna up my water intake.

I’m currently on day three of a serious attack. How much longer before the intense pain is gone?
How are you doing now? I'm on day 7, the worst of the pain seems to be gone but my toe is still fucked and can't walk.
Squeeze half of lemon in 8 ounces of water. Do this 3 times a day. Stay well hydrated. It rids the uric acid from your blood.
Good explanations ! Thank u so much!

Indomethacin is a great anti-inflammatory, to relieve the swelling in The joint. Colchichine puts out the “fire” the terrible pain. Water is key!! Alcohol, red meat, sardines, anchovies, bad!
Whoever pays for the study, gets the results they want
That is a 100% true. That is our “ healthsystem”
You mean cherry and apple farmers, Epsom salt manufacturers?
I was having severe gout attacks. I had to decide what food I was consuming the most of -- and had consumed the most of during my life. It was beef, hands down.; lots of beef since I was a child. I cut out ALL beef and about 80-90% of my attacks vanished. They say meat doesn't cause gout but it did for me, so that's total BS. I still have gout to some degree but not the horrible attacks that I used to have. Now, I drink a lot of water as well as one to two cans of seltzer a day (a trick I learned from a friend in France to break up crystals), lost weight, walk more and increase vegetables in my diet. I eat small dinners earlier than 6pm of mostly vegetables. Colchicine is great as well as indomethacin for relief.
Try cutting way back on salt.
I found it wasn’t the beef, but what I was having with the beef - bread, rice, noodles, potatoes along with dessert or beer. Meat and salad works well for me and now I take no medications.
That was good info
Thank you

Cherry seed extract.. Every day. No soda with corn surp. and no seafood.
Tart Cherry in pill form works good to if your a person that dosnt like Cherry juice
I’m having a gout attack in both feet. Been suffering for 5 years. Help
Tart cherry powder?
Lemon juice works for me as soon my foot gets that sting I have lemon juice and it goes away
Are you talking about a hangover?
Excellent video!
I love you said "Cherry Duice" and didnt edit it out lol! Thanks for this bud
haha 😅
ice right before an attack? if you wake up with it, how do you possibly do this?
I think what he was trying to say was put the ice pack just above where the flare up is. Such as if the flare is in your toes, put the ice pack just above that at the ankle joint. I believe he discussed this a little better and more in depth in another video.
How about if we just cut off our feet? Can we do that?
Mine manifested in my hand last time so amputation would have to be dramatic
@richeisenhuth3523 sorry to hear that. I was half serious, though. Seems like a reasonable alternative to excruciating pain all the time.
A bloke went to hospital and had it done (bad news) good news is bloke in next bed wanted to buy his slippers
If I'd had a saw close at hand during some of my attacks in my twenties I could have given you an answer to your question
Thus an ulcer gets damaged by using Apple cider vinegar ?
Eating fresh cherries works well too.
Hey I started drinking real 9.5 ph water from a hydrolysis machine and started doing cardio everyday and I’m got free
What about massage?
Massage with gout will hurt like a b**ch trust me I’ve had gout every little movement sucks. Just getting under the comforters in bed hurts.
you have never clearly had gout !
I tried every one of these remedies (except for the prednisone), some of these reduced pain and swelling, but it never went away.
I cured my gout 100% when I put 1/3 of a teaspoon of borax in my socks each morning, a side effect is that your feet and shoes stay fresh.
Or lose weight if applicable and cut down on carbs, sugary, alcohol.
Haven't found what causes mine yet. VA hospital is horrible. Went to emergency room on crutches since both feet were so swollen I couldn't walk. VA ER Doctor said "why did you come here, this is an emergency room and it's for actual emergencies!" I yelled at him and said "I can't f**king walk, isn't that an emergency!" And then said "The VA help line nurse told me to come here!" They finally gave me a shot and sent me home after waiting 3 hours. I quit going since they never help and it's been sixteen years with this issue and they just say go home and rest. I started drinking warm lemon juice first thing in morning and it seems to help shorten the time it affects me. Used to be almost two weeks of pain and now it's about 4 to 5 days. Outside doctor's said my blood test show I have rampant inflammation in my body and can't figure it why. Oh well I'll keep trying things and hopefully figure it out on my own since I'm not rich enough to keep paying private doctor bills and VA hasn't tried figuring it out in last 16 years.
Have you quit drinking alcohol yet? That is the number one cause.
@@ypcomchic quit drinking at 25 when my dad died of liver cancer. I'm 41 now so 16 years of sobriety.
grounding or a grounding mat or sheet can help with the inflammation in the body ,root cause can be many things but may help to check for heavy metals
@@Dan-ger82Congratulations!! But sorry to hear about your dad passing
Can those crystals be pulsed to smithereens with high energy pulses like they do kidney stones?
No
Great information 👍 I can do this 😊

For me, a teaspoon of sodium Bicarbonate dissolved in a cup of water and drunk. Do this if you have it or feel it coming on. Drinking plenty of water is important. Check bad foods and avoid. Good luck.
I’m having a wretched Christmas Day gout attack after eating a ton of shrimp, red meat, bacon and alcohol over the last week. I was practically screaming from the pain. I used a mega-high powered body massager that someone gifted me - 😮- I rammed that thing in high right into the bottom of my toe joint with an ice gel pack for padding. I took advil, drank a ton of water, soaked in hot water then ice. within 30 minutes the OMG sever pain is mostly gone. don’t know if this was safe or not-I didn’t care at the time I was screaming in pain. I’m curious if this is safe or if there are any studies on using intense massage to break up those crystals.
Definitely don't massage the crystals, you want your body to remove them through blood flow. The crystals can create damage further.
Normally im not a medication pusher, but gout is an exception
@@DrTomBiernacki ok no more giant massage machine in my gout. Omg this pain is the worst.
I hope it feels better, another option that can work well is an epsom salt bath combined with anti-inflammatory medication,
thank you and have a happy new year! 😊🙏
Celery seed works! At least for me.
Excellent tip!
I will take a look at it
SAME for me.. celery leaves blended with a bit of water works VERY FAST.....
No matter how many times I keep getting gout, it's excruciating and painful to get up and walking is such a pain.

Even putting a bedsheet on is excruciating! Drinking lots of water and cutting the crap has helped me. And ibuprofen. Coming up to 2 years ago when mine happened, and has not come back since. This popped up in my YT recommendations to remind me of those dark days lol. I remember crawling to the bathroom.
@@ToeJam161 oh my, I've never experienced crawling into the bathroom, that must've been tough...
@@ToeJam161oh god trying to walk something that took me 3 seconds to get to the bathroom took 2 minutes. The first battle is getting up out of bed. As soon as you put that swollen foot down it hurts so bad then you can only move baby steps you feel like a 80 year old using whatever you can grab onto to keep balance. Also forget about sleeping under the covers because the blanket makes everything hurt. I had to sleep on my stomach with my feet hanging over the end of the bed only way that didn’t hurt.
@@bluehearts4u..may i ask why you call yourself bluehearts?
Meat does NOT cause gout. It’s sugar, processed food, and seed/vegetable oils. A low carb/keto/carnivore diet can reverse symptoms.
Salt!
Spot on. Worked for me!
Idk I usually get a flare up after a good pork chop
I just had my first gout attack in 2 years. I shouldn’t have been binge drinking the last 2 months with coworkers and investors.
I eliminated fast food, soda, and processed foods.
I reduced red meat to 1x a week at 4oz
Drinking needs be reduced or eliminated.
Please describe your gout attack symptoms?
Listen man, take a teaspoon of Baking Soda (two and half if youre currently having a flare up), take two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and take a teaspoon of lemon juice, and mix it well in a full cup or bottle of water. Drink that once to twice a week and I guarantee you gout will never come back and you can still eat and drink whatever you want.
Do you have a video on weight loss for seniors?
Its coming soon!
If apple cider vinegar is such a powerful treatment and beer is bad, why is changing from beer to cider with a 30ml daily apple juice, ginger and lemon juice not effective?
did you change from beer to hard cider ?
Allopurinol, talk to you doctor
This is a good rule if no improvement over 3+ attacks in 1 year😊
Celery juice
I had no pain, no symptoms of gout, I went for a curry with mates, I had a lamb tikka for a starter then a lamb curry for a main. By the time I finished the curry the pain started. I got home it was ok but I took my shoe off then the the throbbing started. Torture for night.
Do you think it might be the accompaniments such as potatoes or rice ( high carbs), rather than the tikki that caused it?
@@acs5008 i had rice so maybe?
@@Chris-the-Saxonare you tested for gout?
@@tia7765 no , I was given naproxen for a while, but I may have to and get long-term treatment, I'm exercising more and eating well but it has its flare up. My problem is I work offshore.
@@acs5008 Agree. The carbs start it for me too.
What if i remove the foot 🙃
Great idea!
I don't drink, haven't had red meat for 5 months. I eat a healthy diet and having the worst gout attack Why ???
Try to get rid of sugar from your diet!
1- Cherry juice
2- Apple cider vinegar (not too much, in the morning)
3- Ginger
4- Turmeric (adding some black pepper makes more efficient)
5- Epsom Salt ( mix it in your bath)
6- Lemon juice
7- Drink a lot of water
thanjs
bumpbump
allopurinol tablets daily and the medicine works
good lord what pain is from this i woke one nite in agony
In my country most mens gets gout by alcohols..
My ankle is hurting me so bad,it feels like I have a fracture
I have been told that a copper bracelet helps with tennis elbow and gout. The idea is to let your skin turn greenish from the copper and let the body absorb it. Myth?? Not sure
Myth I'm afraid. There is no medical evidence for it.
HAHA would i heck do this
Where do you get a copper bracelet from?
Have you hard of the placebo effect?
It won't work.
Sir can you how to get recover from fat pad atrophy in bottom of foot and heel.
Is there any foods are any vitamins to regain fat and muscle in foot to start pain free life again.
I stop drinking alcohol
Never
@@BigBadJerryRogers I didn't want to but I had too
Limit salt and sugar.
It's only B5 deficiency
Or too much biotin
It's either too much b vitamins or too little 🤷👍
@@BigBadJerryRogers somewhy liver destroy ADP. Uric acid has effect on metabolism. Biotin helps to destroy ADP. B5 is required for Acetyl-CoA and it is part of ADP...
So I think it is some balancing ...
@@bjoshua1980--- What you're saying here is probably great information for everyone to have, if only we had a translator so we could understand what you're trying to tell us. I have no clue what you're trying to convey.
@@smartysmarty1714 If you have gout biotin will spike uric acid level. But taking more B5 could help to decrease uric acid level.
@@BigBadJerryRogers choose your b complex wisely.
intermittent fasting helps....fast 16 hours eating only during a 6 to 8 hour window..and only eat the foods that are uric acid free...
Strange how gout affects 95% men, 5% women but the models "showing" gout are mostly women.
Videos are made in Hollywood 😁
This entire video is a JOKE. I've had gout since 1985 and have tried all of these treatents over the years and not one of them give any relief at all. The best thing to do is to figure out what flares your gour up and then avoid it. For me, it is NOT meat. I can eat all the meat I want with no flare ups. For me it is Broccoli, cauliflower, Summer Squash, peanuts and peanit butter and for some crazy reason cinnamon. As long as I stay awat form all of these and food colcorings like what's in Kool-Air I have zero flare ups.
Great input, very appreciated 👍!
For me it was sugar I cut out all the sugar drinks that helped
I am an Ayurvedic Doctor and I recommend Punarnava Capsules by Planet Ayurveda for gout management.
Yes, most experts never mention it. Apple cider vinegar is the best.

Of course, they’d mentioned foods that people on extremely small budgets can’t get
The rich need more houses, eat your scraps
Cut down on salt and sugar. Exercise regularly. 30 minutes brisk walk daily does wonders. Obviously not during an episode.
You could eat cheap cuts of meat and just salads. Works well. I just kept off sugar and carbs then no more gout or permanent medication!
Sugar is the big one you should be okay with the food if you eat a little bit cut back on sugar especially soft drinks
Podagrycznik pospolity !!!

Sugar
Trust me, Ayurveda has all those answers. Thanks to the doc nonetheless.
😊
. Meat does not cause gout. Carbohydrates in fructose are the biggest cause.
I like ice tea and I kept getting gout and since I cut out the ice tea no more gout so it was sugar for me.
Yeah... all that stuff might help (doesn't for me) IME nothing kicks gouts ass better than methylprednisolone 👍😎✊
Water, water, water . . .
8 big glasses a day like lots of water
👍👍👍
Better of using a Hot water bottle , rather than Ice
Simple solution EAT ONLY SALAD FOR 1 YEAR
Why we got gout,because kidney don't working good,kidney weak,kidney function not good enough, kidney is clean every thing we eat in,when young we eat every thing no problem, even fat people, still no gout, because their kidneys good, the people have gout, can't eat this ,can't eat that,sick and tired, gout comeback anytime, one body part got proplem, we got proplem,
Eat red meat only once a week. Stay away from. Lots of cookies , candy and cakes. Drink lots of water.
Salt!
None of these recommendations work. Cherry juice has high fructose corn syrup in it
Use the Tart Cherry juice or capsules..
Stop drinking beer!
