    I have experience to share with blueberries.?? When I had my first “attack” 9 months ago, I learned a lot from GoutPal and went on 300 mg. Allopurinol? (100 mg didn't help).? I continued to have moderate twinges and occasional?moderate pain in my toe for months – took?indomethacin numerous times.? All this time I was putting 2 tablespoons of blueberries on my breakfast cereal every morning.? I then read about the study linking fructose and/or fruit juice etc. with gout so I decided to stop the blueberries.?? My pain seemed to subside. It was very good for the next 6 months or so.? I then decided to try blueberries again at breakfast.? Within a week my toe pain started to elevate.?? I stopped the blueberries, and the pain is gone.? Since I could “turn it on and turn it off” I believe I proved root cause.? Strange how some of these things can appear to be both a cure and a cause?!?Confused
