I have had gout for years, and tried just about everything without success.I reduced meat to,

minimum once a week, stopped alcohol altogether.I was having LOTS of fruit and vegetables

and my gout was worsening.

Finally I have read something about Excessive fructose increasing uric acid.I experimented

reducing my fruit intake to 1 a day, and bingo within days I saw a dramatic improvement.

@tlv156 - I know how you feel man. even a very slight breeze makes the area ache, feel like it's on fire, and very stiff and sore.

Im 26 and I have have a pain on the outside of my big toe knuckle and it feels like I broke or badly bruised the bone.... Its not excruciating, I can touch it and not have alot of pain but walking is extremely difficult.... is it possible that I just bruised bone? I wear flip flops alot and they dont have much support.

Suffering now, on the upswing from a acute attack. At its worse the gout in my ankle felt like someone poured crushed glass and tacks into my ankle then doused it with gas and lit it on fire. My whole ankle, foot, leg still hurts. Wonder if all this natural herb stuff is just a ad for snake oil.

gout is so painful. i don't care how tough you think you are. i've had it a couple times and it's more painful than any operation or injury i've ever suffered in my life. just a sheet gently touching any part of my foot caused excruciating pain the morning following a day when i felt just fine when i went to bed. didn't even see it coming. if you ever wake up and feel like someone beat your foot with a sledge hammer, you have gout.

@4chango yes. Also, Candida albicans can cause gout via raising its nasty by-products one being uric acid. Also, high insulin decreases uric acid excretion, so a paleo diet may help

@bvrm99; I might post the naturopathic approach on my channel so that people can get rid of this painful condition.
