Gout Treatment

When gout goes untreated, it can possibly lead to a world of discomfort and pain…

But the good news is that it does not necessarily have to be this way…

People who have gout will tell you how uncomfortable and sore their joints become when their gout flares up. But what most gout sufferers don’t know is that they can treat it in a completely natural manner. 

What is gout?

To put it very simply, gout is inflammation caused by too much uric acid in the body. This inflammation usually affects the joints the most, causing “crystals” to build around the joints which cause the immense pain any gout sufferer knows all too well. 

What are the symptoms of gout?

Most of the time, the symptoms of gout are very sudden and painful. It often occurs in the middle of the night and can be so painful that it wakes you from your sleep. Symptoms include:

• Joint pain

The most common place where gout is found is in the joint at the base of the big toe. It can however occur in many other places such as the rest of the feet, ankles, knees, hands and fingers, and of course the joints located in the wrists.

It has been found that the pain is at its worst round about 12 to 24 hours after it has first started.

• Constant discomfort

After the worst pain has gone away, discomfort is still felt in the joints. This discomfort might be present for a few days or sometimes even a few weeks. Gout that appears after the initial attack is likely to last longer and be more widely spread than the first time.

• Redness and inflammation

The involved joints become swollen sensitive and red.

What complications can gout lead to?

Gout can lead to more severe conditions, for example:

• Recurrent gout

Some people may never experience any symptoms of gout after the first time, whereas others may suffer from the effects of it several times per year. People with recurrent gout can prevent gout attacks from returning by using medication.

• Advanced gout

Gout that is left untreated can cause urate crystal deposits to form underneath the skin in nodules referred to as “tophi” (pronounced TOE-fi). Tophi can develop in a variety of parts such as your fingers, hands, feet, elbows or Achilles tendons. Tophi usually are not painful, but during gout attacks, they become sensitive and swollen.

• Kidney stones

People with gout may experience urate crystals forming in the urinary tract, resulting in kidney stones. The risk of developing kidney stones can be reduced by using the correct medication.

How is gout treated?

The easy option would be to just take a few Manna pH Balance capsules and continue with your lifestyle, here are a few tips to take it even further…

With the right combination of lifestyle changes, eating certain foods, as well as avoiding certain things, gout does not have to be a problem.

1. Drink More Water

Changing your diet may help you manage chronic gout and help symptoms such as joint pain. Start by drinking more water, because dehydration might trigger gout attacks. One study showed that men who drank five to eight glasses of water in a 24-hour period had a 40% lower risk of gout attacks. But avoid sugary sodas, which may raise your risk.

2. Find a Diet That Works for You

Being overweight raises your risk of gout. So eat a balanced diet and lose excess weight it can help your symptoms. Talk with your doctor about making diet changes. You may find that you can eat some foods without having a gout attack. Other foods may cause your body to react or may make your gout worse, though.

3. Avoid Flare-Up Foods

Weight loss is the most effective way to manage gout, but you also may benefit from eating a low-purine diet. Purines are found naturally in many foods. Your body breaks them down into uric acid. Too much uric acid in your blood causes gout. Some foods, like organ meats, sardines, and anchovies, are high in purines and can cause flare-ups. The good news is that many healthy options, like beans, lentils, and asparagus, have fewer purines. Talk to your doctor about what you can safely eat.

4. Eat Plenty of Fruits

Fruits provide good, fibre-filled carbohydrates and other nutrients that can help you maintain a balanced diet and healthy weight. Plus, they tend to have very few purines. Fruits high in vitamin C, like tangerines and oranges, may help prevent gout attacks. Some research shows that cherries or cherry juice can offer relief from gout. Ask your doctor if you should add cherries to your diet.

5. Choose the Right Carbs

If you follow diets that are low-carb or high in protein or fat, you may get too many purines. Processed carbohydrates like white bread and white-flour pasta have very few purines but they can lead to weight gain. Instead, focus on healthy carbs with high fiber such as oats, sweet potatoes, beans, and vegetables.

6. Essential Fats

Eat more foods rich in essential fatty acids, including cold-water fish like tuna and salmon, flaxseed and other seeds, and nuts. Fatty acids may help lower inflammation. Use fatty acid-rich oil, such as olive oil, for cooking and for dressing salads. And try to cut back on, or get rid of, any trans-fats in your diet.

7. Limit Your Alcohol

Alcohol may raise your risk of a gout attack especially if you have more than one drink a day because its high in purines. Beer appears to be worse than other alcoholic drinks because it contains yeast. Moderate wine drinking doesn’t appear to raise your risk, though.

8. Use Caffeine with Caution

Moderate coffee drinking is thought to be OK for people with gout. And in some people who drink coffee regularly, drinking four or more cups a day may even lower the risk of gout attacks. But caffeinated drinks may raise uric acid levels in some people who drink them just occasionally.

9. Eat Less Meat

Eat limited amounts of chicken, pork, or lean beef at most, one serving a day. Those types of meat have fewer purines than organ meats like liver and sweetbreads. Other meat products like gravies and meat-based broths are also high in purines.

10. Enjoy Low-fat Dairy

Dairy products were once off-limits to people with gout because they’re made from animal proteins. But they’re actually low in purines and dairy purines don’t seem to cause gout. Low-fat milk and low-fat dairy may even lower your risk of gout by more than 40%. During a gout attack, low-fat dairy products may help you get rid of extra uric acid through your urine.

11. You Cant Eliminate Purines

You don’t need to limit all purines. A few foods that are high in purines don’t trigger gout. One study found that peas, beans, mushrooms, cauliflower, spinach, and chicken formerly considered foods to avoid may not be linked to gout attacks.
