You can purchase cherry extract pills from the health food store which seems to work better or at least well with the cherry juice.
Do not take aspirin. Aspirin will make the body become more acid and form more gout crystals. Go with tylenol instead. Additionally red meat causes you body to become acidic which is why many gout attachs happen after a steak dinner.
So things that make and keep the body in a more alkaline state is your goal. Lists of these food are found on the internet.
Drink plenty of water, you must try to flush out the crystals that have formed in the bloodstream.

The correct answer is......to stop eating processed meats such as luncheon meats, and meats that include organs i.e. liver, kidney, gizzards, tongue (yuck) purine rich foods...purine means the above and poultry ,fish ,condiments, alcohol,concentrated sweets, rich pastries and fried foods:source Tayber's Medical Dict.
