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.
I can’t seem to find a actual definition on line.
Do you know? If so ~Please~ tell me. I am in serious pain.

Gout is when uric acid crystalizes in your joints. There are medications to help prevent and diets that help. Speak to your doctor, as they can prescribe the medications for you

When I was a kid, there was this older lady who came to our farm and always bought the juicy ripe tomatoes to can and eat……
Doc told her to eat lots of tomatoes…go figure…….

I have a male friend about 35 he has gout.He must stay away from sea foods.Your diet is a major player on our body’s reactions.I know their is drugs out for this ailment.I’d go to a health food store and ask them how to treat or what will help.I’m sorry you in pain,I see my friend sometimes with it and he is ready to ball.Good luck.D
