    On the subject of diet, my wife is getting a bit sick of having to eat chicken, fish and pork only. Something like spaghetti Bolognese (beef mince in tomoto base), is that a strict no-no or does food not play as big a part in this than popular belief?

    Chung, you got to take this with a grain of salt: What works for me or someone else, may not work for you. Ever since I got my gout under control, I have been eating just about every thing I like, including beef, herring (a big NO NO) and even shrimp, the other day, w/o any negative affects. But, remember, my SUA is near 4 +/- 1 mg. So get your SUA down and then think about a “normal” life style again.

    my dilemma, I had an allergic reaction to Allo, last June…was only on it a week. By diet I lost 87 pounds and my number was down to 6.6 and was hoping to get it lower…but all of sudden I started feeling this twinge and checked with my home meter and I am back up to 8.6. Called my doctor begging for Urolic and Colchicine…when I picked it up all there was for me is Naproxen and 12 Colchicine. Now I can’t get anything until next week. Should I save my Chlchicine until I get the Urolic not sure she will give me more? I am only having the twinge now and some slight burning…if I keep my feet up it’s not too bad. But I know it is coming, especially when I take the Urolic.

    I am a retired 63 year old low income widow. I pay $1045.00 PER MONTH, [way more than I pay for any other monthly needs] for my health insurance it goes up every year by at least $70. I cannot get Medicare until I am 66.

    I had an allergic reaction to the Allopurinol…is it odd that it took almost 2 weeks… itchy eyes, all blood shot, very light rash all over but the tops of my ears itched like crazy. I took Benadryl for a few days mostly back to normal. Now I guess I will have to find something else. I am still on the Indo but odd thing the swelling of my feet was gone for the first time yesterday.

    Are you saying that once I get my uric acid number down to a normal range, if I stay on ALLO, I can enjoy a glass of wine again?

    I am wanting to know the same thing?.when do I start Allo?swelling mostly down but can't get shoes on. Still get the tingling if I don't keep my feet up enough I am on Indomethacin.? How long do I stay on Indo? [started 3/28] and cherry pills. Eating everything correct. Only have one real red spot near big toe [am sure crystals are thereCry] the other foot has no deep red and never got the extreme pain as the first foot..This all started 3/09/11 left foot 3/28 right foot?never had gout before this that I know of. Both feet still have some soreness and some swelling, more as the day goes on.

    Feb 11 routine blood test?first I knew Uric was 8.2..I didn't even look at it until the pain started. The doctor said it was because I have artritis and hypothroidism I have a predisposition for gout.

    Later I found out my Hydrochlorothiazide was also very bad so am now on Amloipine/Norvasc

    ?

    what does anyone think of this herb for gout:

    The herbs in Gout care are 100% natural and consist of the following:

    Artichoke,
    Saponins from Yucca root, Aged-odourless Garlic (allium sativum),
    Turmeric, and Certified 80% Silymarin from Milk Thistle.
