Question by taybugg97: What is Gout any ideas? How to ease it?
This is my 2nd time around with this; it is extremely painful. My foot is swollen; I cannot put any pressure on it. My sis-in-law says it Peanut Butter; “I” think NOT.

Answer by matador 89
fsaroufim,
Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are found in some foods and drinks, such as liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, beer, and wine. Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys, where it passes out in urine. If your body produces too much uric acid or doesn’t remove enough if it, you can get sick. High levels of uric acid in the body is called hyperuricemia. The uric acid test is ordered when a doctor suspects high levels of uric acid. Some patients with high levels of uric acid have a disease called gout, which is an inherited disorder that affects purine breakdown. Higher than normal uric acid levels mean that the body is not handling the breakdown of purines well. The doctor will have to learn whether the cause is the over-production of uric acid, or if the body is unable to clear away the uric acid. Reference values are dependent on many factors, including patient age, gender, sample population, and test method, and numeric test results can have different meanings in different labs. Normal values fall between 3.0 and 7.0 mg/dL. The following may not be of use for you. Your level, which you quoted, is only just slightly elevated and may reduce within a short time. I shall mention some methods of reducing the uric acid levels, in case you find this of assistance. The easiest and healthiest way to lower uric acid is though proper eating habits and medication. This includes limiting alcohol and avoiding purine rich foods, which will convert to uric acid. Gout sufferers are usually men over the age of 40 who are mildly to severely obese. As this obviously does not apply to you becuase you state that your age is not 28 and you exercise a lot, you should, therefore, not have a great problem with weight. Therefore, diet and possibly medication – if your doctor decides that you require it – are likely all that you will need. Avoid alcohol consumption to lower uric acid. Large amounts of alcohol, especially beer and wine, both rich in purines, increase uric acid levels. Alcohol prevents excess uric acid from being removed from the kidneys through the urinary tract. Increase your dairy intake to lower your uric acid level. Low fat milk, yogurt and cheese are examples of dairy products considered helpful to gout sufferers. Drink plenty of water to lower uric acid. Liquids that are low in caffeine and calories help to remove uric acid from the blood stream. Since water is the most pure liquid, it should be consumed the most. Eat fruits and vegetables that are not high in purine to reduce uric acid. Fresh fruits including blueberries, strawberries, bananas and cherries are some of the fruits gout sufferers should include in their diet. Celery, tomatoes, cabbage, parsley, kale and all green leaf vegetables are also helpful in low uric acid diets. Follow your physician’s orders and supplement your diet with prescribed medications to reduce uric acid levels and prevent gout. Consult a physician who specializes in treating gout patients. Doctors who specialize in orthopedics, rheumatology and arthritis may have a better handle on treating gout. There are more than a dozen medications a physician can prescribe to help the body remove uric acid from the blood stream.

NOTE – BEWARE of answers like the answer from Mariya, above. This person posts answers to many different questions and advises certain drugs to assist the questioner with their problem. Always discuss the drugs that you take with your doctor, especially if you suffer from any disease or condition that is serious enough to warrant the prescription of a drug. Do NOT consider using any drug suggested in any forum or by any person without first consulting your doctor/specialist.

ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. – MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.
