I mentioned to my doctor 4 months ago that during my lifetime blood tests have always show me to have an on the high side reading for Uric Acid, the cause for Gout. My most recent test for Uric Acid was 9.4 mg/dL. Normal range is 3.9 – 8.6. The therapeutic target for gout patients is a reading greater than 6.0.
My doctor just put me on 80mg of Uloric per day. I currently enjoy no side effects.

During reading on this subject, I have discoved the following things to reduce the Uric Acid test result. Take Uloric, stop taking diuretics, stop drinking alcohol, stop taking Niacin, stop eating meats, stop eating dried peas and beans, stop consuming caffine. Do start loosing weight, I’m 100 lbs over weight. Exercise moderately. Eat low fat milk, yogurt and cheese. Drink eight glasses of water per day. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables: lots of strawberries; blueberries, cantalope, avacados, kiwis, cherries, bananas, celery, tomatoes, cabbage, parsley, kale, spinach. Reduce the amount of meat that I eat. especially those that are high pruine causers., like liver, some fish like makerele, anchovies, etc. Reduce the intake of all meats.

I hope this will help in that there are a lot of foods that we can and should be eating rather than the really good tasting ones that we shouldn’t be eating, lol…

if you do not want to take the scribed meds, look into black cherry extract pills – you can find them in any health store on online.
