Ah yes...it happens. Take your medication. I usually take Colchicin and Flanax. Consult with your doctor first. Eat lots of apples, cherries, strawberries or bananas (whichever is available for you). Drink water constantly (I would recommend Alkaline water to counter the acidity in your body). I also read that you can try alternating hot and cold compress for half an hour. And of course, use a cane. ;-) Good luck with the attack!

Here is something which most gout suffers would avoid but I found it very effective in relieving gout pain and inflammation. It is BLACK BEANS! Beans have been listed as a gout causing food but "black beans" have something extra in their hull/skin - a very high content of ANTHOCYANINS - that is very effective in relieving gout pain and inflammation. I have tried it myself and have absolute faith in it. If you wish to find out more about it, do go to the following link - http://gout-pal.com/gout-pal-forum/gout-cures. Please be assured that I am not promoting anything! It's just that the topic "Black bean cure for gout" is been discussed in great detail at the link I mentioned above. Rather than repeating everything again, it would be easier, faster and more convenient for anyone keen to find out more about black bean's efficacy on gout. Cheers!

First of all I would like to suggest to you please do not eat anything which have high acid uric. This first step will definitely decrease the swelling of your toe. After that you try and drink a lot of plain water and don't drink soy milk. This is because soy milk is not good for a person who has gout. Where are you from? If you are from Malaysia I can suggest to you to drink this one type of water. The name is Dr. Sukida. It is mineral water which uses filter and the result from this filter makes the water full of healthy minerals. It has healing property which is especially good to cure gout. Maybe you can try and browse in the internet to find other solutions if you are not in Malaysia. Or you ask around your friends if they happen to know other remedies for your gout. I believe this has to do with the way you eat and if you control your eating you can quickly reduce the gout effect on your legs. Good luck!
