Originally posted by WoodgieI was in so much pain with Gout I considered amputation, seriously, I had an attack for a continuous 6 month period and needed a week in hospital on heavy meds for the pain.
My source of Gout, far too much carbohydrate in the diet.
I got rid of the carbs and the Gout went away.
The bollox the Dr's were giving me were making it worse, I am sure you know the pain and how it takes over your life.
I had tried every cure known to man, cherries, apple cider vinegar, dried ginger, allopurinol and a whole host of other things.
The only thing that has worked perfectly is the Paleo/Atkins diet.
As a former veggie I am saddened I was wrong, but organic fat and protein is the way to go for me.
I will never touch sugar or carbs again, and the only 5 portions of fruit and veg I get now is from the fat of herbivorous animals that ate them.
Coconut oil in large quantities helps as well.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
