Heng51 2nd Gear April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 (edited) Basically the uric acid got too saturated and became crystallised stuffs in the joints which hurts like hell when it forms... Best way is to drink lots of water so that the uric acid becomes diluted, in fact, that's what my doc recommends.. Of course avoid high purine stuffs like red meat (beef, duck, intestinal organs), bean stuffs, alcohol.. Works for me... Cheers!!

Chewbacca 1st Gear April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 I hear that tart and black cherries are good. My brother living in US. I asked him to mail back a box of cherry supplements (~$7 a bottle. Damn cheap. About...$50 a bottle here?). I've been taking them for about 2 months already. Haven't had an attack since. But still a bit too early to draw conclusion. Either way.....you might want to give it a try. But, yeah, keep some colchine (however you spell it) with you.....and those NSAD as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taosaopau Neutral Newbie April 30, 2012 Share April 30, 2012 I have gout since 25 and though it's more like you get it after 40 years old. Discover it gene related and run in the family. You have to look at your family tree and if either the father side or mother side have it , you may inherit it. It's quite painful and as some one put it , you may take colchicine but that's more a preventative medication and if Gout flare out , cochichine may not be useful and you have to go for anti-inflammatory medication. I used to take Indomethachine but nowadays not easy to find . Btw , if cant tahan the pain, you can drop by any clinic for a painkiller jab. This is very effective and the pain can be gone almost immediately However, you may get resistance to the painkiller , meaning that it's get less and less effective . Other than the common food like red meat and nuts and beans related food to avoid , I find 100 plus to be a real trigger for me. I used to do lots of sports and takes lots of 100 plus and my gout trigger almost every week. I realize once I stop taking 100 plus and just take plain water , my frequency of attack drop to almost nil.. However , that's my experience and your mileage or trigger could e different. Btw one interesting aspect of Gout is that it's always happens at or after midnight. I later found out that because our stomach stopped working in the night and thats when the Gout flare up. The gout crystal would travel through our blood stream and would deposit at the lowest part of our body due to gravity ie normally the right or left toe. Gout happens becoz our pancrea could not process the Purin in the food and this would leads to a high production of Uris acid. Purin are mostly find in the skin of nuts and beans etc..hopes that's help for any new gout sufferer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Indomethacine or in a more serious flare up, Colchicine is what you should take. Allopurinol is a slow acting drug that reduces the production of uric acid and needs to be taken long term. During a flare up, allopurinol could actually aggravate the symptoms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. colchicine is better. However, tends to induce diarrhoea, cos it detoxifies the body ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
