A member asked:
My father is diagnosed of gout arthritis. he is taking gout stat and diclofenac. even then he is having small attacks of gout in extremities joints.

See details: His treatment is not the best. He needs to stay on colchicine on a regular basis. Once the current attack has completely resolved, he also needs to start allopurinol to normalize the serum uric acid and prevent future attacks.

Adjust diet: Take in tart cherry juice and tart cherries, 20/day. Add Lemon extract 4 tblspns / day. And avoid alcohol, animal fats, organ meats, anchovies, sardines, tuna, salmon, and shellfish. Limit other meats to 4 oz per day. Avoid high fructose corn syrup containing drinks and foods. Add egg whites, quinoa, soy as protein. Eat lots of citrus fruit and veggies. Drink 3 liters per day.
