Eat cherries the bing kind and that will help with the pain from the gout.

Answer 2

Gout is exacerbated by excess protein not caused by it.

During the process of breakig down protein more urea is formed which ultimately crystalises and deposits in the joints in gout suffers.

A diet deficient in protein would not benefit you but you only need about 1 gram of proetin per kilo perday in order to receive your required amount of protein. Perhaps less fish, and more fruit and veg will help you control this condition.

Yup!

actually gout is caused by excess purine not protein...

Gout is caused when there is over production of uric acid in normal purine metabolism in the body. Genetics can play a role in who develops gout. It can also occur as a complication of other conditions.  Some people inherit the inability to process uric acid and lose it in the urine. High blood levels of uric acid in turn causes sodium monourate crystals to collect in the joint fluid and joint coverings leading to gout, a painful stiff swollen joint.

There are many reasons why an episode of gout will appear, including drinking too much alcohol or eating certain kinds of food rich in purines such as SEAFOOD, beans, sweetbreads, gravies and anchovies.

Other potential triggers of gout include:

    * Surgery

    * Stress

    * Crash diets

    * Sudden, severe illness

    * Chemotherapy

    * Joint injury

    * High blood pressure

    * Excessive exercise.
