Good Riddance to Gout: Four Effective Gout Treatments

If you’ve ever had gout – a type of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of joint pain with redness, warmth, and swelling in the affected area – chances are you’ve got a medicine cabinet full of gout medications. It’s hard to believe when your feet are propped up, so sore they can’t even bear the weight of a sheet, that you have other simple options and treatments to lower uric acid in your joints.

Drink Plenty of Water
A natural gout remedy requires the reduction of uric acid levels. Basically, the key to “curing” gout is to remove uric acid. The easiest way to do so is simply drinking water. How does this help? A well-hydrated body will dilute uric acid, and diluted uric acid is more likely to be excreted. Not all water is created equal. Hard water is better than soft water because it contains minerals, which help maintain the body pH at 7.0 or greater.

What is pH? It is a measurement of the acid/alkaline balance of the body. In order to determine how much water you need, to raise the body pH above 7.0, the rule of thumb is typically 8 to 12 8-ounce glasses daily. To be sure, you can test your pH level with pH test strips that can be purchased online or in-store. Once you have a handle on your water intake, devise a chart or reminder system to ensure you can easily stay as hydrated as you need to from day to day.

Modify Your Diet
Here’s abonus – a gout diet can not only contribute to better overall gout management; it can also help you maintain a healthy weight and avoid other chronic diseases.Gout sufferers know thatgout occurs when high levels of uric acid in the blood cause crystals to form and accumulate around a joint.

Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines. Purines occur naturally in your body, but you also get them from eating certain foods, such as organ meats, anchovies, herring, asparagus and mushrooms. So, a gout diet reduces your intake of foods that are high in purines, which helps control your body’s production of uric acid. Some basic rules of thumb:

• Limit animal protein, including organ meats such as liver and oily fish like herring, anchovies and mackerel
• Eat more plant-based proteins, such as beans and legumes, which will also help cut down saturated fats, which may indirectly contribute to obesity and gout
• Limit or avoid alcohol, especially beer, as it interferes with the elimination of uric acid from your body
• Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products
• Choose complex carbohydrates
• Limit or avoid sugar

Exercise
Like a sensible diet, routine exercise is a must for a healthy body. Exercise reduces excessive body weight, which may be one of the causes for gout. Exercises which help in light stretching of affected joints may be effective gout remedies. When a gout attack is brought under control, exercising is an important part of strengthening the joint. A strong joint will be less likely to suffer from a gout attack, and people who are in their healthy weight range are much less likely to suffer from gout.

Gout Medicine
In the grip of a gouty arthritis attack, don’t feel bad for reaching for your trustyanti-inflammatory medications to treat gout. Medications for gout are available with your doctor’s prescription. One popular gout medication is generic colchicine, the equivalent of the name brand gout medicine Colcrys. Colchicine tablets prevent or relieve gout attacks by reducing inflammation.

The colchicine dosage for gout varies: some people take small amounts of it regularly for months or years, while others take large amounts of colchicine over a short period of time (several hours). You can buy colchicine tablets online from a reputable licensed Canadian pharmacy.
