What are the best ways to manage Gout? Diet ideas welcome

Posted by mgmpops44 @mgmpops44, Dec 15, 2017

I have high Uric acid due to my kidneys not performing as they should. My doctor told me my kidneys are not a problem now, but they could get worse. I need to find out what I need to do as far as diet and what I cannot eat or eat less of. There are so many opinions out there and I am rather confused.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

I have had 2 knee replacements and terrible pain in my ankle and food for a year. Doctor gave me a blood test and found gout. Prescribed a week of Methylprednisolone tablets. Still in pain and have schedule an MRI. What can I do for the gout to eleviate the pain

@janicemmccarthy You'll notice that I moved your question to a discussion already started on gout. I have also linked a couple of discussions related to the treatment of gout and another condition. Members like @oldkarl @briantheengineer @jenniferhunter have discussed this topic in the past.

- Gout meds to lower uric acid and chronic kidney disease https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gout-meds/
- Neuropathy started during a gout spell https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/neuropathy-started-during-a-gout-spell/

May I ask if your provider discussed diet changes for gout?

no, he was my surgeon for my TKR. I went to him for my ankle before and got a cortizone shot. Six months later when my ankle started to hurt again, he tested for gout and just gave me the prescription for prednisone, which I am on day 5 and is not helping. I am scheduled for an MRI in two weeks. Where would I look to find diet changes? thank you
