                        My husband had gout, and after some  extensive research we found the follow-  ing: Avoid shellfish, mushrooms, alcahol  (even beer) and liver, as they cause   uric acid to build up.   Do add dark cherries to your daily  diet. They can be canned, but must be   the dark variety. My husband also took   medication to relieve the terrible pain  in his feet. Check with your doctor to   see if you are a candidate for this. I   hope this information is helpful.
