Low Purine Diet for Someone With Gout

RE: Low Purine Diet for Someone With Gout By Guest (Guest Post) My husband suffers from Gout and has had it for approx. 20+yrs. Cherries do seem to work, sometimes. He takes medication(Allopurinol)daily. On occasion he has a flare up and takes (Indomethicin). Over the years he has averaged 1 or 2 attacks per year(approx. 1~3 days). Now in his late 50's the attacks seem to last longer (~1 month). Regular cures aren't working as effectively. Every persons "gout" is different. Nothing is a "sure fire cure" for this ailment! Rule of thumb......If it works...use it!

This juice concentrate contains flavanoid compounds that are supposed to lower uric acid and reduce inflammation, both associated with gout. The tart cherry product I am referring to is made with Montmorency tart cherries, which are grown primarily in Michigan, not to be confused with the sweet cherries found in the grocery stores. Sometimes you can find these cherry products in farm markets, specialty food stores, or health food stores if you are lucky, but unless you are in Michigan, mail order is the way to go. Here is the Cherry Marketing Institute's website for more information on how tart cherries can help reduce or eliminate the pain from gout: www.usacherries.com Also, I have purchased tart cherry juice concentrate from these two companies: www.brownwoodacres.com www.leelanaufruit.com Hope this helps you! truerblue in PA Posted on 03/28/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Low Purine Diet for Someone With Gout By ANNE (Guest Post) AVOID SEAFOOD.

Seems to work for many. Give them a try. I think even the cherry pie filling will work if that is all that is available. Canned cherrys, when fresh is out of season.

Contact I was just talking to a natural health provider about this the other day and she recommended cherries also. She said that red cherries are the best, fresh, canned, juice or any form that you can find. She also said it was important to have some everyday and that there have been studies to show that it is really effective for relieving the symptoms of gout.
