39. Gout sucks!

You're probably right about the protein bringing it on though. I got gout when I went on the Atkins diet, which of course included a sudden increase in protein/decrease in carbs.

Tell her she needs to drink lots of cherry juice, the more sour it is, the better. And eat cherries too. Gout is caused by uric acid crystallizing in the bloodstream and it gets "stuck" in the joints, usually in the feet. Something in the cherries breaks that crap down so it can be carried off in the bloodstream and eliminated.

Works better than any pharmaceutical approach!
