Gluten Free Medicines For Gout

[BrainStorm-wow]

So, I think I may have gout. I am having alot of pain in my foot, specifically in my big toe. It is becoming very painful. Unfortunately I can't get a doctors appointment untill next month . Anyway, does anyone know if there is any gluten free gout medicines I could request if it turns out that I do have gout? Also, is there any gluten free over the counter pain killers, that I could take?

Have you tried to get an appointment with a foot doctor? I wouldn't say that you think it is gout just that it hurts like the dickens. If the foot doctor thinks it's gout he will be able to either give you something for it or even get you in to see the regular doctor sooner.

I have seen some stuff in the health food store that is for gout relief. If you have a store near you go in and talk to the folks there and they may be able to guide you. Most companies will indicate on the product if it is gluten-free and my local store will call for info for me if needed.

You need bloodwok done ( uric acid). A doctor can give you a script to have this done before you actually have your appt.

Cutting back on rich foods, red meats,sweets & acidity foods.

Here is a homepathic remedy that my husband uses daily to keep gout under control.wASHINGTON HOMEOPATHIC PRODUCTS, INC. 1-800-336-1695 called GOUT.....Also drinking or eating cherries or cherry juice & lots of it. They say it doesn't matter whether it is sweet or sour but my man says the sour works best. These are maintaining things--- will not make it a cure-all.
