What is the best natural way to treat gout.?

What is the best natural way to treat gout.?I know that many gout medicines have very bad side effects. I don't want to put my fiance's health in greater risk down the road. He is only 28 and has long road ahead of him.

no letting him eat organ meats ( which includes things like sardines and anchovies) may be the best you can do.

my fiance has this also. He went to the doctors and had all kinds of blood work done. His uric acid was very high. They did put him on meds and he has to stay away from shellfish and red meats. The meds he takes helps so much, he hasn't had any attacks since he started it. I am not sure what he takes , but no side effects from it, just pees a lot. haha. Have your fiance get blood work done to see his levels.
There is no "natural remedies " except cutting out certain things like mentioned above.

avoiding shellfish and red meat will help to cut down on the incidence of exacerbation's or episodes. if your fiance gets his uric acid levels under control he may not have to suffer any more episodes of gout.

Your fiance should have blood work to be sure what he has is gout. Eating a healthier diet and drinking lots of water will prevent future attacks. Gout is caused when rich, fatty, and sugary foods and drinks are ingested and the body can not get rid of all of the overload. Crystals are formed in the blood(which would normally be broken down) -these Uric acid crystals collect in joints and organs - and cause the painful, inflammation commonly called Gout. People with chronic gout also have a tendency to be overweight.
Drink water (up to 1/2 your body weight in ounces -i.e.-if he weighs 180 lbs-drink up to 90 ounces of water per day.) Eliminate red meat, alcoholic drinks, colas, and fatty and sugary foods. -- In other words, fruits and vegetables, lean chicken or fish, plenty of water. Add Moderate Exercise and he will not believe how much better he'll feel in a month. (It's gonna take a while to decrease the Uric Acid levels) His Dr. can give him meds that will help to do that.
At 28 - if he is already having gout -- he really needs to consider a lifestyle change -- and you'll have to help him. Hey-it's a New Year --time for changes!!

easy, change your diet. stop eating red meat, tomatoes, peppers (green, red, yellow, hot or sweet) and eggplants, they create too much acid in your body. quick remedy for the pain, crush two leaves of green cabbage and apply it to the affected area, leave for about 30 minutes, repeat if necessary
