The medicine? Xyloric. The food: sea foods generally, red meat, milk products. To reduce uric acid: simply avoid these foods. Uric acid excess can also be caused by other condition where DNA is being broken down excessively eg in Cancer. See your MD for further advice.

Yes, this has seemed to help me when I have had attacks of gout.  Try to find cherry juice concentrate as it is more cost effective and is not mixed with other juices like many cherry juice products are.

No, Allopurinol is not a pain killer and the ingredients are not the same.  Allopurinol is used to treat chronic gout (a form of arthritis). It works by preventing the formation of uric acid (a product of the metabolism of protein that's present in the blood and released in the urine). Blocking uric acid production helps prevent gout attacks and the formation of kidney stones or other kidney problems.

The only remedy is to avoid getting it...keep your protein intake lower and your water intake very high. But, get to your doctor..there are very good meds for this. Gout is no laughing matter, can do a lot of tissue damage. Do not put off getting this taken care of. Good luck

Nuts aren't harmful to those with high cholesterol... in fact they are beneficial.  However, they are potentially dangerous to those with high uric acid.\n\nA one-ounce serving of nuts contains between 160 and 200 calories, of which 80-90 percent comprises fat. Despite this high-fat content, the fat in nuts is primarily in the monounsaturated form. Monounsaturated fats, when substituted for saturated fat in the diet, can help reduce total and LDL, or "bad" cholesterol levels while maintaining the "good" cholesterol, HDL.\n\nOther added benefits of nuts are they are naturally cholesterol free, a good source of dietary fiber and protein, and contain a variety of heart disease-fighting vitamins and minerals like vitamin E (a potent antioxidant), folic acid, niacin, magnesium, vitamin B<sub>6, zinc, copper and potassium. Nuts also contain the nonessential amino acid arginine. Arginine is touted for it’s role in protecting the inner lining of the arterial walls, making them more pliable and less susceptible to atherogenesis. Lastly, nuts are a good source of healthful phytochemicals, biologically active plant chemicals with high antioxidant properties linked to prevention of coronary heart disease.\n\nBecause nuts are so calorically dense it is important to incorporate them into the diet sensibly. To avoid weight gain, substitute added nuts for food sources high in fat, specifically saturated fat. For example, top a salad with nuts instead of bacon bits and croutons. Proper serving size is also a must. Having a scale on-hand is your best bet, although not always practical. If a scale is not available, check the Nutrition Facts panel on the food label to locate the serving size. A one-ounce serving of nuts greatly differs.

I'm 33, a registered nurse, and I suffer from gout. I work for a group of kidney specialists (nephrologists). I've discussed my problem with pretty much all of them and all have differing opinions on how to treat gout flair ups and prevent the pain from occuring. Averaging the answers of them all, and doing a little experimenting  myself, I've found that lots of water helps relieve the pain along with NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen. The best prevention I've found for myself is to stay away from alcohol. When I drink, which is quite often, I know that I'm going to hurt the next day. There are diets which are low purine (low animal protein) diets which supposedly aid with the prevention of gout. I haven't found that this helps me. Also, if you're overweight and out of shape, lose weight and exercise. I know it hurts, but if you can force yourself to work through the pain the reward is well worth it. I don't know about Indomethacin (too lazy to look it up). I generally take steroidal anti-inflamatories when I have serious pain. However, I doubt you'll find many physicians willing to prescribe that for you due to long term side effects. I take prednisone 20-40mg by mouth for about 3days along with lots of water. \nIn short, no alcohol, lots of water, and anti-inflamatory meds such as ibuprofen. And lots of water. I keep mentioning lots of water, because the increased water intake will aid in the flushing out of uric acid, the cause of your gout. (body isn't eliminating uric acid as readily as it should). \nI've also read that increased potassium intake will help prevent gout. I'm in the process of trying this out, it can't hurt.

Uric acid and glutathione are both anti-oxidants.  Neuronal death in MS (and likely Alzheimers, etc) has been linked to higher levels of damaging reactive oxygen species, and cell culture studies indicate that antioxidants can protect neurons from this damage-and some clinical studies in humans show beneficial effects (though some also show no effect).  Glutathione depletion has been linked to cases of MS, leading to the hypothesis that this lack of intrinsic antioxidant may lead to greater neuronal death due to oxidative stress.  In other studies, serum uric acid levels were found to be reduced in MS patients, leading to the same conclusion noted for glutathione.  In one study, reduced uric acid was correlated to increased peroxynitrite, a toxic reactive compound associated with oxydative stress.  Thus, some suspect that MS patients either have reduced antioxidants leading to neuronal damage, or have reduced antioxidants because of depletion by oxidating compounds generated by the disease-and because of this, a lot of current study is looking at ways to boost antioxidants to either protect against MS or to slow it's progression.

Gout was once thought to be due to drinking too much alcohol and eating too many rich foods. Although eating certain foods and drinking alcohol may trigger a rise in the level of uric acid in the body, these habits may not by themselves cause gout. Gout is most often caused by an overproduction of uric acid (due to metabolism problems) or decreased elimination of uric acid by the kidneys.\n\nHome Treatment\nGout, an inflammatory joint disease causing acute pain and swelling, usually develops after a number of years of buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints and surrounding tissue. If you have been diagnosed with gout, take steps to:\nDecrease the pain of an acute attack. \nRest the affected joint until the attack eases and for 24 hours after the attack. \nElevate painful joints. \nApply a warm compress to the affected joints. If this doesn't help, try putting ice packs on affected joints. \nRelieve inflammation by taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Do not take aspirin, which may abruptly change uric acid levels and may make symptoms worse. \nPrevent recurrences. \nBeing overweight is a risk factor for gout. If you are overweight, a diet that is low in fat may help you lose weight. However, avoid fasting or very low-calorie diets. Very low-calorie diets increase the amount of uric acid produced by the body and may bring on a gout attack. For more information, see the topic Healthy Weight. \nAlcohol can reduce the release of uric acid by the kidneys into your urine, causing an increase of uric acid in your body. Beer, which is rich in purines, appears to be worse than some other beverages that contain alcohol.4 \nDiets high in meat and seafood (high-purine foods) can raise uric acid levels.5 \nCertain medications that are given for other conditions reduce the amount of uric acid eliminated by the kidneys. These include pills that reduce the amount of salt and water in the body (diuretics, or "water pills"), niacin, and regular use of low-dose aspirin. Talk to your health professional about other medications that are equally effective but safer to use for people with gout. \nCold hands and feet can precipitate an attack of gout. Try to keep your hands and feet warm, and take extra care to cover your hands and feet during cold winter months. \nModify your risk factors. \nKeep your weight within the normal range for your height. \nFollow a moderate exercise program. \nAvoid a diet rich in meat and seafood.5 \nHave an evaluation for lead poisoning if you have been exposed to lead in your job or through hobbies. \nContinue to take any medications prescribed to you for gout. However, if you have not been taking medications that lower uric acid (such as probenecid or allopurinol) prior to the attack, do not begin taking it when the attack begins. These medications will not help relieve acute pain and may actually worsen it. \n\nMedications\nMedication treatment for gout may be done in two separate stages. \n\nFirst, the pain, swelling, redness, and warmth (inflammation) during an attack of gout is treated until the symptoms have gone away. \nSecond, after the inflammation has subsided (2 to 4 weeks), other medications may be used to reduce the uric acid level in the blood and reduce the frequency of future attacks. \nMedications to lower uric acid levels are not given until a gout attack is over. Starting these medications during a gout attack can cause movement of uric acid stored elsewhere in the body, which can make the gout attack worse.\n\nLong-term medication treatment depends on how high your uric acid levels are and how likely other gout attacks are. In general, the higher the uric acid levels and the more frequent the attacks, the more likely it is that long-term medication treatment will help.\n\nDuring a gout attack \n\nYou may already be taking a medication to lower uric acid levels in the blood at the time of an attack. If so, you should continue taking your medication, even during an a

Uric acid (or uricite) is an organic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen with the formula C5H4N4O3.\n\n In humans and higher primates, uric acid is the final oxidation product of purine metabolism. In most other mammals, the enzyme uricase further oxidizes uric acid to allantoin.\nUric acid is also the end product of nitrogen metabolism in birds and reptiles. In such species, it is excreted in feces as a dry mass. \nHumans produce only small quantities of uric acid with excess accumulation leading to a type of arthritis known as gout.\n\nIn human blood, uric acid concentrations between 3.6 mg/dL (~214µmol/L) and 8.3 mg/dL (~494µmol/L) (1mg/dL=59.48 µmol/L)[3] are considered normal by the American Medical Association, although significantly lower levels are common in vegetarians due to a decreased intake of purine-rich meat.\n\nThe disease gout in humans is associated with elevated blood levels of uric acid . Saturation levels of uric acid in blood may result in one form of kidney stones when the urate crystallizes in the kidney. Some patients with gout eventually get uric kidney stones. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is also associated with very high serum uric acid levels .

Eliminate fatty foods, spices(especially pepper), fruit juices, coffee, tea, cocoa, soda and alcohol.  Also avoid meat for at least 2 weeks.  Eat 2 ounces of low fat cheese a day.  Make sure you eat fruits and vegetables that are low in acid.  Eat only when you are relaxed and take your time eating.  \n\nPut 1 teaspoon of licorce root or marshmallow root in a 1 cup of water and simmer for 15 minutes and drink slowly, make sure you eat eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to ensure adequate intake of potassium.  Both of these offer a soothing action on the mucous membranes.  When eating your fruits and veggies, let them get to room temperature.  Try to avoid cold foods and drinks.

Short of natural remedies like black cherry juice, other remedies include motin, alleve, ice and elevate affected extremity.  Drink plenty of fluid.\n\nAvoid foods with precursors to uric acid.  If symptoms are not relieved go see a doctor.\n\nAlso, be careful that the diagnosis of gout is correct cause gout looks like an infection of the skin and joint sometimes.\n\nhttp://www.podiatrychannel.com/gout/\nhttp://www.rheumatology.org/public/factsheets/gout_new.asp#5

Food is made up of various macronutrients. It is measured in grams. Eat lots of veggies. They have the most fiber. Lettuce for example has little else but fiber. Take a suppliment if you have to. Try to get 40 grams a day. Make sure you have at least 1 bowel movement a day too. This is important for colon health.

In a word....junk food.\n\nAlso, gout is much more an issue if clearing purines from your body than bringing them in.  Look at the food lists of high purine foods.  Who the hell eats that stuff?  Not me and not anyone I know including those who have gout.  The real culprit is too much salt and drinking almost no water.  Your kidneys are finding it difficult to excrete the normal amount of purines.  If you take blood pressure meds, understand that they can cause gout for similar reasons (especially diuretics) and ESPECIALLY if you have any renal insufficiency.  Go have your meds re-assessed if this is the case.\n\nAny waym normal foods that most people like to eat are low in purines.  A notable exception is processed foods.  Avoid them.  Drink plenty of water (and nothing else).
