Sometimes it means sacrificing the things we like most. I had to give up a lot of things I like. I discovered cheese and other high fat dairy produce are triggers for me and I love cheese! But it had to go along with butter. I switched to skimmed milk and substitute in cottage cheese which is actually very good at helping to reduce the overall body acidity, as is cider vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon juice diluted in plain water. Don't drink soda or carbonated water and keep alcohol to he minimum. This is part of the key to beating gout - reducing that all-important level of uric acid. Not too low, because you need it, but get the balance right and you won't get many attacks. It won't eliminate it completely, but will cut it down to almost none.

However, my most concerned was my occasional bout with this illness. Whenever, I take curry chicken with red big chillies and beef,it attacks my fingers from one to the other fingers. The pills that were given by the doctor did help to reduce the pain but sometimes followed by gastric. I was almost have given hope because it (gout) comes now and then. Do you think that I can now turn to traditional treatment, especially the herbal ingredient such as ginseng, bird nest, ginger?

Finally I have read something about Excessive fructose increasing uric acid.I experimented reducing my fruit intake to 2 a day, and bingo within days I saw a dramatic improvement.Cherries are the only exception. I eat a lot of them when in season,with no ill effects. I have had gout for years, and tried just about everything without success.I reduced meat to, minimum once
