Question:
Regular intake of fresh lemon juice helps in reducing the pain of those suffering from Gout?
Answers:
Lemon juice is recommended by some people, but I can't find anything in the medical literature about fresh lemon juice being especially good for gout. Foods high in vitamin C are one of the things you should be eating, as well as these others:
Fresh cherries, strawberries, blueberries, and other red-blue berries
Bananas
Celery
Tomatoes
Vegetables including kale, cabbage, parsley, green-leafy vegetables
Foods high in bromelain (pineapple)
Foods high in vitamin C (red cabbage, red bell peppers, tangerines, mandarins, oranges, potatoes)
Drink fruit juices and purified water (8 glasses of water per day)
Low-fat dairy products
Complex carbohydrates (breads, cereals, pasta, rice, as well as aforementioned vegetables and fruits)
Chocolate, cocoa
Coffee, tea
Carbonated beverages
Essential fatty acids (tuna and salmon, flaxseed, nuts, seeds)
Tofu, although a legume and made from soybeans, may be a better choice than meat

Lemons are inexpensive and won't hurt you, so you might as well give lemon juice a try.
