dear Doc. John: I have been researching the web for help with the gout and found your message. I will try it because right now it has been "hitting" me every week for several weeks. I think my recent diet change is what made it start up every few days: since last Nov. I began eating beans as in bean burritos and had cut out meat{almost all}.Before being diagnosed as having "gout" I was getting these "weird "pains and they would be gone in a day or two and NO Doctor ever made a diagnosis that it was gout. After almost bleeding to death with Vioxx for pain {which was every where at different times}I just suffered until I met a new Rehumi who says this sounds like gout. I do not test for gout. Dr.says diet is not the problem and has given me Colchcine daily. But I want to find a cure and I want to lose weight also. Thanks for your suggestions. I hope I can write that it worked for me.
