A member asked:

Does eating peanut or using peanut butter causes a gout flare up? what is the usual dose of colchicine during a flare up?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: No it does not. Colchicine is actually a poor choice to treat gout flares. Indomethacin, Prednisone or local cortisone injections are far more effective with lower risk.
