    Whiskey on the rocks. If it's real bad, leave out the ice.

    The biggest thing you can do is drink lots of water. Your Dr should have given you a diet plan also

    I do for the most part eat right,stress and worry is a big factor.I ate 8lbs crawfish last night after eating healthy for a month..I have heard colchicine but it has never done me any good.

    Crawfish is considered high in purines so you might want to cut them out.

    Drink lots of water and when you can't drink any more, have 1 more glass.

    Shell fish will get you if your prone to gout. If you are haveing a really bad bout of it, Get your doctor to give you a dose pack of methylprednisolone. It will do wonders . then start learing to drink lots of water, I try to get in about 1/2 a gallon a day. that Will help keep it at bay. Once you get it under control. It sucks when it flares up.

    Water and cherry juice stay away from soft drinks and alcohol
    I,d rather be tried by 12 than be carried by 6

    Prednisone will knock it out. Uloric will keep you from getting it!!!

    Re: (ironhead70)

    find out what causes it first, with you it is FOR SURE seafood, dont eat it. For me it is any kind of nuts, brother it is seafood, dad is milk and tomatoes. It is different for everyone. If you want to get rid of it very quickly go to the doctor and get a cordizone shot, but be careful cause not something good to do much of. You dont have to take medicine to not have gout, most people think meds are the answer, WRONG. Watching your diet is THE answer... I have had gout since I was 24, now 45 so I do know what I am talking about here... Celery wont help it, celery is good for kidney stones though
