Water!! Hydrate more and the crystals that form will be diluted and wash away before they get stuck in your feet.

Maraschino cherries work really good on the gout.

i feel bad for you.
i know how bad a gout attack can be.
once i gat an attack all i can do is take tylenols for pain and drink water to flush my system..still lasts about a week tho...
to prevent an attack i know what foods trigger my gout and i know enough not to drink when i eat those foods.alcohol prevents uric acid from leaving your body...
example.....
liver and onions+beer=gout
liver and onions+no beer=no gout
beer+no liver and onions=no gout
thats just an example...i've learned to watch what i eat and if i know i'm going out drinking with my buds to stay away from certain foods....this seems to have helped becase its been 5yrs since my last really bad attack
