What is Gout?!


Question:

What is Gout?


Answers:

My son has gout and it is a crystalization in your feet, elbows and/or your fingers. His urine gets very dark and of course, he gets alot of pain. The doctor needs to test your uric acid level too. He has thrown 3 kidney stones due to the uric acid level being high. He has taken allipurinol but recently particapted in a study and they gave him Colchicine. He is feeling alot better now. Also you have to watch your diet and avoid purine foods. Watch your milk and cheese intake for that is calcium. Hot dogs have even flared him in the past. While awaiting his meds, he did drink concentrated lemon juice and it did help. You still need to get to a rheummatologist since it is a form of arthritis.
