Avoid the Following:
Eliminate purine’s from diet: No pork, organ meats, beans, peas, lentils or seafood. Go easy on proteins especially during episodes. During a flare up eliminate proteins from animals.

Sugar and refined grains: Raise blood sugar and stress the adrenal glands, feed yeast, increases dysbiosis and cause a myriad of serious health problems.
Chemical additives: The average American consumes ten pounds of food additives each year. This stresses the liver and the immune system.
Hydrogenated oils and fried foods: Hydrogenated oils promote inflammation and cardiovascular disease, while decreasing immunity and hormonal health. Nerves and brain function are also affected.
Repetitious eating: The foods that one becomes sensitive to are usually those eaten on a daily basis. A simple rotation diet minimizes stress to the immune system from hidden allergies.

This is cherry season. I try to get to the local farmers market to buy tasty fresh picked cherries. The stores have them too. It's fresh fruit, which dieticians recommend, and the sugar is natural, not processed. It may not be the same as tart cherry concentrate, but you never know, and it tastes good.
