Gout Cure At Last

Member Posts: 4
I had my first gout attack about 10 years ago.
At the beginning I was having attacks every 6 months. Then gradually I was getting them
every 3 months, then every month and eventually every week.
It started at my big toe and then it was moving sometimes in my knees,and generally all
around my joints, in my feet.And the pain was agonising.
I have tried all the cures you can imagine.I tried ACV, lemons, drinking a lot of water, but
to no avail.I tried water fasting, juice fasting,baking soda, again without success.
I almost gave up meat, limiting it to only once a week ,gave up alcohol completely,again
no success.
I was living on vegetables, lots and lots of fresh fruit, milk ,cheese beans and so on .My
eating habits could not be healthier ,or so I thought.But my gout was worsening.
Then I decided to increase the amount of fruit I was consuming, thinking that if some fruit
is healthy, more fruit will be more healthy.Some days I was eating fruit only ,others over 10
portions a day.
And alas my gout instead of improving it became chronic.
I was desperate I did not know what to do.
And then one day accidentally I read an article about fructose,which is contained in fruit in
large quantities.It said that it increases uric acid, in a matter of minutes.
Fructose is also present in table sugar, and in HFCS, which is used in soft drinks.
I put two and two together and realised what I was doing wrong.
I stopped eating fruit and all other sugars, for a period of 3 weeks,and by magic I saw a
dramatic improvement.Pain was gone, swelling was gone, I was fine.
I re introduced fruit again in my diet but reducing them to 1 or 2 a day, and my gout completely
disappeared.
I do eat more meat now, and occasionally have an alcoholic drink, and thank God everything
seems to be fine.
Fructose was my enemy!!.

Hello Tonyccc and welcome to the forum. It must feel very good to have found something that works for you and I'm very pleased for you. I hope it lasts.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi Tonyccc
welcome to the forum from me
Lots of folks have found an improvement after changing eating habits. Terrible to think you were making your gout WORSE :shock:
I do not follow a strict diet at all and eat a little of what I fancy. Some have said tomatoes make things worse, but I am not sure what has actually been tested and proven.
Funnily enough my step-daughter's Granddad swears that giving up his pint of fresh orange a day 'cured' his arthritis
Anyway lovely to meet you.
Love
