It would be better to avoid the red meat - once you go back you may try to push the limit and end up in trouble again. Did you know that Ben Franklin had gout?

Make a special occasion of it. No, I don't mean celebrate days ending in Y. Talk to your Physician, Take his advice. I've had gout, it ain't fun. I think you probably know how much discomfort you're willing to deal with. Luck to ya.

If you have gout, you should be careful. I don't know how important red meat is to you, though.

Try to drink 100% pure blackcherry juice concentrate that you would find in a nutrition center or health food store, it has helped alot of people who suffer from gout. Dink it every day for awhile. Just watch your over all diet, lean cuts of red meat in moderation.....

My husband had "galloping" gout. Started in the foot, cleared up and jumped to an elbow, then the hand. Pain was excruciating. He has been on allopurinol for years. We watch his diet. "All things in moderation." Just take it easy on red meats, gravies, soups, pies, alcohol. My husband is a big guy and lives to eat, but with care, he has been gout-free for some time. About the colchicine - he took this also but only for 3 days at the onset when the gout was at its worst. Should you be taking this ongoing?
