Gout is part of a group of metabolic disorders. The essence of this disease is a violation of the processes of formation, circulation and excretion of uric acid. The resulting excess uric acid is deposited in the form of crystals on the surface of the joints, causing inflammation (arthritis). Most often, the joint of the big toe is primarily affected, but as the pathology progresses, any joints can be involved in the inflammatory process.
Uric acid crystals on the big toe joint
In this article, I will talk in detail about the symptoms and methods of treating the disease.
The main manifestations of the disease at the time of exacerbation are severe excruciating pain in the area of the inflamed joint, its swelling and redness. Any movement increases pain, which leads to temporary loss of joint function. With a long-term or aggressive course of gout, a pronounced inflammatory process occurs, which is accompanied by the destruction of articular cartilage, deformation, the appearance of gouty nodes (tophi) and limited joint mobility. In severe cases, internal organs are affected, primarily the kidneys. All this becomes the cause of temporary but permanent loss of ability to work.
In cases of gout, treatment should be aimed not only at relieving arthritis, but also at restoring normal uric acid metabolism. If the doctor prescribes complex conservative treatment immediately after the first manifestations of the disease occur, gout can be completely kept under control. Patients are required to adhere to dietary restrictions and medication recommendations throughout their lives.
(if the table is not completely visible, scroll to the right)
Signs of joint inflammation (in 97% of cases, the joint of the big toe is the first to be affected):
Preparations for normalizing uric acid metabolism
Relief of inflammation (non-steroidal drugs and glucocorticoids)
Surgical treatment (removal of tophi, endoprosthetics (replacement) of joints with artificial prostheses
A rheumatologist diagnoses and treats this disease. Conservative treatment under the supervision of a therapist is possible. A surgeon or orthopedic traumatologist is involved in the treatment of gout when gouty arthritis suppurates or when it is necessary to remove periarticular nodes (tophi).
Further in the article: a complete overview of the characteristic symptoms and methods of treating the disease.
Gout is a chronic disease, that is, there are two periods in its course: exacerbation, when the symptoms of gout are severe, and remission, when the symptoms fade away.
You can suspect the presence of gout based on the following symptoms:
Gouty arthritis (inflammation of the joints): pain, swelling, redness of the skin over the area of the inflamed joint.
The appearance of nodular formations (tophi) located subcutaneously in the joint area.
Restriction of movement in the inflamed joint (for example, the inability to walk and support the foot).
General increase in temperature.
Signs of kidney damage (pain in the kidney area, blood in the urine, etc.).
The obligatory first manifestation of gout is joint damage. The classic onset of the disease is inflammation of the big toe joint (most often the lateral surface in the area where the big toe connects to the metatarsal bone of the foot is affected). Small joints on its dorsal surface become inflamed less often.
Gout of the thumb joint
Features of exacerbation of gouty arthritis of any localization:
If gout is treated insufficiently, attacks of arthritis often recur. Their result is the formation of painless subcutaneous nodules in the area of previously inflamed joints. Such nodules (they are called tophi) have a yellowish-whitish tint and represent a deposition of uric acid in the periarticular tissues.
The favorite location of tophi is the fingers and toes, the ears, ankle and elbow joints.
Tophi on the finger
The chronic course of gouty arthritis is fraught with destruction of the cartilage that covers the surfaces of the articular ends of the bones. This threatens deformation, complete destruction of the joint and its ankylosis (closure, fusion).
Since gout causes oversaturation of the blood with uric acid, protective metabolic mechanisms are aimed at its enhanced removal from the body. The main route is excretion in the urine. Therefore, the kidneys with gout have a large functional load. A characteristic feature of uric acid is the rapid formation of crystals when passing through the kidneys, which causes the accelerated formation of urate stones.
Therefore, patients often complain of symptoms of gout such as pain in the lower back on one or both sides of the spine, accompanied by pain in the lateral abdomen, and urination disorders. The formation of large staghorn-type stones is possible, which cause severe inflammatory damage (pyelonephritis), impaired renal function, or block the outflow of urine.
Complex therapy for gout should be step-by-step. It consists of three stages:
relief of an acute attack (gouty arthritis);
drug correction of excess uric acid;
diet and prevention of recurrent exacerbations.
Treatment of gout in the initial occurrence or repeated attack in the form of arthritis is carried out with the help of anti-inflammatory drugs.
This drug best relieves gouty inflammation in the joints. The speed of onset of the effect depends on the route of administration of the medicine: injections act the fastest, they are given within a few days. Subsequently, the patient takes pills.
Colchicine prevents recurrent gout attacks when taken for several weeks or months.
These medications are most often used in the treatment of any form of gout, because they are relatively effective and can be easily purchased at any pharmacy. NSAIDs act for a short time, relieving only the symptoms of inflammation. They do not affect the frequency of gout relapses, so doctors prescribe them only during the next attack of the disease.
The standard course of treatment is 1–2 weeks.
The following drugs have proven themselves to be effective:
The anti-inflammatory effects of glucocorticoids are very strong, but at the expense of dangerous side reactions - for gout, doctors prescribe them relatively rarely.
Indications for glucocorticoid hormones: prolonged attack or simultaneous damage to several joints, involving large joints in the process.
Glucocorticoids are used in the form of injections (injections, droppers) or tablets.
The main principle of therapy with these drugs is a gradual reduction in dose. Glucocorticoid therapy should not be continued for more than 7 days, except in severe cases of illness.
Applying an ointment or gel containing an anti-inflammatory drug relieves the symptoms of gouty arthritis. But local treatment of gout is only an additional component of complex therapy. It is unacceptable to place high expectations on it in terms of effectiveness.
Anti-inflammatory drugs for local application to the area of the inflamed joint:
Joints affected by gout are left either at rest (that is, any movements and loads are excluded), or are fixed with a bandage, splint, or orthosis. The main principle of this measure is to prevent mechanical irritation and progression of inflammation in the joint. A temporarily immobilized joint recovers much faster.
Since gout is a metabolic disease, anti-inflammatory treatment alone is not enough to keep the disease under control.
Basic (main) treatment for gout is taking medications that eliminate excess uric acid in the body. What medications are these:
Agents that block the synthesis (formation) of uric acid: allopurinol, thiopurinol, orotic acid. They are prescribed to all patients with gout.
Drugs that accelerate the excretion of metabolites and uric acid itself through the kidneys: drugs containing sulfinpyrazone (anturan, sulfazone, anthuradine), probenecid, benziomarone (exurate, normurat, uriconorm). They are used with caution when gout is combined with urolithiasis.
Medicines that dissolve uric acid: soluran, blemarene.
Drugs that are used for basic treatment are not suitable for relieving acute attacks of arthritis. Likewise, anti-inflammatory medications alone are not enough to cure gout. Therefore, both groups of drugs must be correctly combined depending on the presence of exacerbations. Treatment with agents that cleanse the body of uric acid should be long-term (several months), and sometimes lifelong.
Physiotherapeutic procedures help to finally stop inflammation in the joints due to gout. They are prescribed exclusively after drug reduction of arthritis symptoms. In the acute period of the disease, any methods of physiotherapy are strictly contraindicated.
What methods are used:
Paraffin-ozokerite applications on the knees
In many cases, exacerbation of gout is provoked by poor diet.
Diet rules for gout
Surgical treatment of gout is rarely performed. Brief description of possible surgical interventions and indications for them:
Most cases of gout can be successfully treated with conservative methods.
It takes about a week for arthritis to subside. Anti-relapse treatment is carried out in long courses for life: this can be either following a diet or a diet with basic medications.
At the top of the comments feed are the last 25 question-answer blocks. I answer only those questions where I can give practical advice in absentia - this is often impossible without personal consultation.
Will IVs help regulate excess uric acid and, if so, how often are these procedures performed? Thank you.
Alexey, everything is individual for each patient. Droppers can help reduce the excess. The doctor prescribes the frequency of procedures taking into account the patient’s condition.
Is it possible to drink Karmadon mineral water (recommended on the label) or Borjomi if you have gout? If possible, then in what quantities?
Hello, Alexander. One of the main points in the treatment of gout is the removal of uric and oxalic acid from the patient’s body, and this requires high-quality water, including mineral water. You can drink Borjomi; it is consumed half an hour before meals in an amount of 150 ml. I haven’t heard of Karmadon, I don’t know the quality. If there is mistrust, then it is better not to take risks, since in case of gout, the water must meet the necessary characteristics.
Hello! Four years ago I had my first attack of gout. A year later it happened again and a diagnosis was made. The therapist prescribed allopurinol, but did not take it constantly. There was no further treatment other than diet. A year ago, an ultrasound revealed kidney stones, this year my blood pressure has been constantly elevated, since spring, 140x90. The doctor, without finding out the reason, prescribed a drug that lowers blood pressure. Now frequent urination has begun to appear, and without sufficient volume. Is it possible to get some kind of complex treatment that takes into account all factors? We don’t have any competent specialists in our city. And another question: why is there no Colchicine in pharmacies? Everywhere they actively recommend, but do not sell, where to buy?
Alexander, you cannot prescribe treatment over the Internet. I can answer your questions and give advice, but without personal contact, treatment is not prescribed, and I ask you to never ask anyone for this if your health is dear to you. Unfortunately, gout cannot be completely cured; our scientists have not found such a cure, but it is possible and necessary to maintain remission. Yes, this disease contributes to kidney dysfunction and the formation of stones, so you should periodically undergo examination and consultation, and follow a diet. I cannot answer why this or that drug is not available in your city, since this question is not within my competence. Order from pharmacists in pharmacies.
Pain with gout on the big toe occurs more often than other options.
The first thing you need to do when a gout attack develops in order to get rid of pain is to take a lying position and raise your leg by placing pillows under it so that its level is higher than the level of your head. This will help relieve swelling and relieve pain.
First aid can also include applying ice. This is possible if the pain in the joint allows you to touch it. To reduce the concentration of uric acid in the body, you need to drink a lot of alkaline liquid. The faster you can get rid of excess of this substance, the sooner the attack of gout will be stopped.
At the pre-medical stage, a compress from a mixture of drugs such as Novocaine and Dimexide, taken in 50 and 30 ml respectively, can also be used. The mixture is applied to a piece of gauze and applied to the joint for half an hour, wrapping it on top with polyethylene and warm cloth.
How to relieve pain during a gout attack, a specialist who should be contacted as soon as possible will tell you. Prescribed treatment in the early stages of the disease can be carried out on an outpatient basis and makes it possible to do without a hospital. The complex of medications for the treatment of gout includes drugs with different effects that help eliminate inflammation, relieve pain and reduce the amount of uric acid in the patient’s body, which is precisely what causes pain. Here is a list of the most prescribed and effective remedies.
If the pain cannot be overcome, then doctors prescribe hormonal drugs, both in external form and for oral administration. Such treatment must be strictly controlled, since these drugs not only have a large number of side effects, but can also be addictive. Self-medication with hormonal medications is strictly contraindicated.
Relieving pain and swelling from gout is possible with the help of recipes from traditional healers. Below is a list of the most effective ones.
Relieving pain and swelling from gout in the joints is impossible unless you adhere to proper nutrition. A person suffering from gout needs to radically change his diet. It excludes broths, everything except vegetable broth, offal, smoked meats and fatty meats and fish. Limited consumption of meat and poultry from older individuals, as well as lean fish, is allowed.
The basis of nutrition should be fruits, vegetables and other plant foods, excluding mushrooms and legumes. The body obtains protein and fats of animal origin from milk and all dairy and fermented milk products.
Alcoholic drinks and strong brewed coffee and tea are also excluded. During an exacerbation of gout, it is necessary to drink large quantities of drinks that have an alkalizing effect. These can be fruit drinks, alkaline mineral waters and various herbal decoctions.
Gout is a disease characterized by impaired metabolism. With it, uric acid salts are deposited in the joints.
Gout is a fairly rare disease - there are three cases per thousand people.
The disease affects men over forty years of age, and in women it occurs during menopause.
Before you read further, I want to warn you. Most of the remedies for “treating” joints that are advertised on TV and sold in pharmacies are a complete scam. At first it may seem that creams and ointments help, BUT in fact they only remove the symptoms of the disease.
In simple words, you buy a regular painkiller, and the disease continues to develop into a more severe stage.
Ordinary joint pain can be a symptom of more serious diseases:
How to be? - you ask.
We have studied a huge amount of materials and, most importantly, tested most of the remedies for treating joints in practice. So, it turned out that the only drug that does not relieve symptoms, but truly heals joints, is Artrodex.
This drug is not sold in pharmacies and is not advertised on TV or on the Internet, and according to the promotion it costs only 1 ruble .
So that you don’t think that they are selling you another “miracle cream,” I will not describe how effective this drug is. If you are interested, read all the information about Artrodex yourself. Here is a link to the article.
Gout affects all joints, from the joints of the hands to the joints on the legs.
Excessive amounts of urea in the body occur for two reasons: healthy kidneys cannot withstand large volumes of acid, or when urea is released in acceptable volumes, but the kidneys are not able to remove it.
The increase in the number of patients with gout is associated with the consumption of foods containing purines (meat, fatty fish) and alcohol abuse.
The main symptom of gout is inflammation of a joint. An attack of the disease occurs in the early morning or at night and is expressed in the form of intense pain in the affected area. The temperature in the joint area rises, the skin begins to turn red and shiny.
Proper nutrition for gout is an issue that needs to be given special attention, since the main reason for the increase in uric acid lies in the excessive consumption of foods containing purines.
A special role should be given to a therapeutic diet for gout in the legs.
Medical practice: more than 30 years.
I have been treating painful joints for many years. I can say with confidence that joints can always be treated, even in very old age.
Our center was the first in Russia to receive certified access to the latest drug for osteochondrosis and joint pain. I confess to you, when I first heard about it, I just laughed because I didn’t believe in its effectiveness. But I was amazed when we completed testing - 4,567 people were completely cured of their illnesses, this is more than 94% of all subjects. 5.6% felt significant improvements, and only 0.4% saw no improvement.
This drug allows you to forget about back and joint pain in the shortest possible time, literally from 4 days, and cure even very complex cases within a couple of months.
To prevent the disease from exacerbating and progressing, it is important to build a special nutritional system with limited consumption of purines.
Special attention is paid to the diet for gout during an exacerbation.
Menus and recipes for gout are developed by nutritionists based on the form of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient.
Therapeutic nutrition allows you to reduce the doses of medications taken. However, it should be borne in mind that diet alone cannot completely get rid of the disease, although it will make attacks more rare.
A proper diet is the key to treating the disease.
The specificity of therapeutic nutrition is limited consumption of foods containing purines, salt, oxalic acid and sufficient consumption of acidifying foods (vegetables, fruits and milk).
Thus, the main prohibited foods, the consumption of which is excluded for gout:
Purines are practically absent in milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits and many berries.

The most common diet for gout is diet number 6.
She reduces her protein intake by severely limiting fish, meat and beans.
With such a diet, animal proteins should make up no more than 50% of the total proteins. You should also reduce your intake of fats: pork, beef and lamb lard, cooking fat.
Among the basic principles of nutrition are the following:
We offer a table of products that will help you correctly create a diet and menu for gout.
List of foods whose consumption should be limited:
A rare anomaly of the cervicothoracic spine, Klippel-Feil syndrome - dangers and treatment of the disease.
How gout manifests itself at different stages - symptoms and characteristic signs of the disease. What treatment approach is used other than nutritional correction?
List of permitted products:
The main essence of the diet for gout is control over the production and excretion of uric acid.
This nutritional system helps to improve well-being and reduce pain, as a result of which the disease recedes.
It should be noted that this diet does not cure, but only promotes the accelerated release of acid and salts during exacerbation of arthrosis.
It also significantly reduces body weight, which plays an important role in the recovery of the body after heavy drug therapy.
Nutrition for gout is most often organized according to several basic diets.
Most often, for gout, therapeutic diet number 6 is prescribed. It is also used to treat diseases of the urinary system, diathesis, and cystinuria.
The nutritional system is based on normalizing urea production and restoring the permissible urine environment.
The benefit of diet #6 is to limit the intake of purine-containing foods, ethanedioic acid and the predominance of foods in the diet that help restore metabolism .
Preparing food for such a menu is very simple: meat and fish need to be boiled or steamed. You can prepare a second course based on boiled products. The main thing is to observe the frequency of meat consumption (up to two to three times a week).
The full menu of diet number 6 for gout should include:
Another type of therapeutic nutrition for gout is diet number 8. It is prescribed if the patient suffers from obesity of any degree.
Obesity is the result of overeating, it puts additional stress on the body and aggravates the current disease. The essence of the diet is to reduce excess fat in tissues.
Calorie content is maintained through proteins and a reduction in the percentage of fats; carbohydrates are practically eliminated:
Diet menu No. 8 suggests:
A diet for gout on the hands involves normalizing the percentage of urea in the body, as well as improving metabolism in general.
Foods containing a lot of purines are excluded from the daily diet.
At the same time, the consumption of eggs, fruits, vegetables, cheese and milk is allowed. In case of exacerbation of the disease and severe pain in the hands, it is necessary to completely exclude meat, fish, broths, smoked foods, canned food, spices, cakes, chocolate and alcohol.
The daily menu may contain foods such as squid, shrimp, vegetable soups, low-fat cottage cheese, cereals, pasta, citrus fruits and vegetables.
If you strictly follow the menu suggested by your doctor, pain when moving your hands will gradually decrease.
A therapeutic diet for gout reduces the risk of relapse of the disease, relieves pain, and normalizes the functioning of the urinary system.
In addition, such a nutritional system helps normalize body weight and is one of the principles of a healthy lifestyle.
A diet for gout has a general strengthening effect and rejuvenates the body.
Failure to comply with the diet threatens the development of renal failure, damage to the cardiovascular system and internal organs with the formation of gouty nodes in them, and the formation of erosive arthritis.
Your doctor will always tell you what fish you can eat if you have gout. After all, treatment for gout involves a strict diet that limits the consumption of animal proteins. Gout is a disease caused by a violation of uric acid metabolism in the body, so the diet should contain a minimum of purines in the foods consumed.
It is allowed to eat foods low in purines and, accordingly, uric acid:
The list of products can be adjusted depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, but there is a list of foods that will definitely have to be abandoned. Since doctors assign a special role to the therapeutic diet, a list of foods that are prohibited from consumption was determined. Prohibited or limited quantities of consumed products include:
Depending on how much the disease progresses, experts make an exception and allow certain types of fish and meat on the menu. During a therapeutic diet, you can eat fish, but only low-fat varieties. The main principle of use is to strictly reduce its quantity. So, you are allowed to eat this product no more than 2-3 times a week, but cook it strictly by steaming or boiling.
This product must be selected with caution, and if on a certain day the patient’s diet includes it, then you should not eat meat that same day, even the permitted one (for example, rabbit meat). This product is rich in useful substances and, of course, you cannot completely abandon it: as an exception, in some cases, fish for gout even needs to be eaten in small quantities.
It is also necessary to strictly adhere to the rules for preparing fish dishes. On fish day, you can cook steamed minced fish cutlets, fish soup, boil or stew meatballs. The fish soup should not be greasy, thick or salty. For this dish, use white lean fish, such as pike, pike perch, asp. Red fish is prepared in the same way, the main thing is to choose low-fat fish with a minimum content of uric acid.
If you have gout, you should not eat fried, salted, spicy, pickled, smoked fish dishes, dried fish and caviar.
Note that dried and dried fish are no different, except for the cooking time, therefore this food product is prohibited in its dried form. It is worth noting that salt can aggravate the disease; therefore, it is strictly forbidden to eat salted fish.
Thus, the treatment of gout requires not only medication, but also strict control over the diet of the sick person, and fish for gout is quite rarely permitted. It is important that this food is prohibited to a greater extent if a period of exacerbation of the disease has begun: at this time it is necessary to categorically refuse even small portions. This measure will help reduce exacerbation and improve well-being.

Diet for gout
Gout is caused by a disturbance in the exchange of purine bases, which are nitrogenous compounds, and proteins, resulting in the formation of an increased amount of uric acid in the body.
For the patient to feel satisfactorily, a diet for gout is necessary as one of the components of complex treatment. The disease manifests itself in middle-aged and older people and affects the joints of the fingers and toes, hands, elbows, knees, and feet.
The specificity of the diet consists of limiting the consumption of foods with high levels of purines (meat by-products, fatty fish, seafood, broths other than vegetables), salt, and oxalic acid. At the same time, therapeutic nutrition implies the active introduction of vegetables, fruits, and dairy products into the menu for gout.
When dealing with gout, maintaining a diet without overeating and starvation is crucial. You need to sit at the dining table 4-5 times a day.
Mandatory boiling of meat, poultry and fish
It is recommended to include boiled, steamed or baked meat and fish in your diet no more than three times a week. The side dish is boiled or steamed.
When following a diet, you should eat a reduced amount of protein and salty foods. The volume of liquid you drink should be increased to 2-2.5 liters. The weight of daily food should be about 3 kg, and the energy value of the products should be 2500-2700 kcal.
The required volume of liquid may include drinks: mineral water, weakly brewed tea, compote, vegetable and fruit juice, fruit drink, rosehip or medicinal herb decoction. You need to drink between meals.
In this case, the toes are most often affected, losing normal motor activity during the period of exacerbation of the disease. Taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, a special diet for gout of the legs with a low purine content is drawn up, which, in combination with other types of treatment, helps to alleviate the condition of the body. Diet food should not be too cold or hot.
The disease progresses if the body receives fatty meat, offal (liver, kidneys, head, tongue, heart, lungs, kidneys), fatty fish, canned food, caviar, chocolate, sweets, baked goods with cream. What should you not eat from plant foods if you have gout? Legumes, peanuts, and cauliflower are prohibited.
You cannot eat the meat of young animals, smoked meats, sauces, animal fats, jellied meat, kidneys, liver, brains, canned meat, sausages, and packaged soups.
Sorrel soups should be excluded from the menu; all broths, except vegetable ones; spinach, pepper, mustard, horseradish, spicy snacks.
It is not allowed to consume this product in salted, smoked, fried, canned form, fatty varieties, caviar.
You need to give up lentils, peas, beans, beans, and soy.
It is necessary to exclude from the diet all foods containing preservatives: meat, fish, vegetables, snacks, juices.
It is harmful to eat chocolate, cream cakes, pastries, honey, raspberries, figs, cranberries, lingonberries, grapes and their derivatives (raisins, cognac, wine).
Fried eggs, salty and spicy cheeses, yoghurts, fermented baked milk, and cream are prohibited.
Alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks, carbonated water and lemonades, concentrated juices, natural coffee, cocoa, and strong tea should be excluded.
The diet for gout during an exacerbation should be observed especially strictly: you should not eat any meat and fish, hot and spicy foods, strong tea, coffee. From the next day you need to arrange fasting days of your choice: fruit, vegetable, kefir, cottage cheese-kefir, dairy.
When a patient is advised to go on a diet for gout, a table of foods with high levels of purine bases helps to guide the menu.
Nutrition for gout is associated with certain restrictions to inhibit the development of the disease and reduce its symptoms.
You should limit your salt intake to 6 g per day. If it works out, then it would be good to completely abandon salt or use it in extreme cases.
You should limit your salt intake
Preference should be given to poultry, haddock, trout, salmon, salmon, and mackerel, as they promote active fat metabolism. Steam cutlets or casseroles would also be the right choice.
Medical nutrition limits lard and butter. You are allowed to eat no more than two eggs per day. Milk is best used as a secondary product to be added to porridge or tea.
Restrictions apply to beets, carrots, celery, peppers, radishes, and turnips. You should not overuse tomatoes: eating 2-3 fruits per day is enough. Green onions, parsley and plums are also considered foods that should be consumed in moderation.
Sweet products are on the list of restrictions, so you can eat them occasionally.
As mentioned above, during an exacerbation of gout, you should not eat meat and fish; from the next morning, you need to organize a fasting day of your choice, when the food consists of:
You can give preference to apple, compote, watermelon fasting days. It is allowed to eat light foods instead of 1-2 types of foods or drinks: salads, cottage cheese, diluted juices, jelly, mineral water, fruit drinks, compotes. You need to eat 5-6 times a day.
An excessive diet affects your health and can lead to an exacerbation of the disease. The body reacts to fasting with a sharp increase in uric acid levels. At the same time, muscle mass is lost and immunity decreases, which creates an environment for the occurrence of various diseases.
The most correct choice for treating the disease in question is a vegetarian diet, since it contains everything that is most effective that you can eat for gout: soups with vegetables and milk, decoctions of herbs and fruits, fermented milk products. Meat, fish, cereals, vegetable oil and a number of other products are allowed.
Poultry, boiled or baked rabbit are allowed. The diet also includes eggs and omelettes, including those with vegetables. It is allowed to eat fish, except fried, salted and smoked. You can eat mussels, lobsters, and shrimp.
Mussels, lobsters, shrimps
Vegetarian borscht, soups, cabbage soup are an excellent dish for gout. The right addition to the menu would be first courses such as okroshka, milk and fruit soups.
Low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat cheese and sour cream, porridge, and boiled pasta are healthy. Milk, as already emphasized, should be consumed as an addition to cereals in half with water.
For gout, the main types of vegetables have a positive effect on the body: white cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, eggplants. Vegetable and fruit salads, squash, eggplant, and vegetable caviar are used. Onions, dill, and parsley leaves are included in the diet.
As for sweets, you can eat candy, except chocolate; marshmallows, marshmallows, marmalade, jam, desserts made from whipped proteins and sugar (meringues). Berries, citrus fruits and fruits are useful, with the exception of grapes, raspberries, and plums. The diet also contains nuts of all types and seeds.
You can eat wheat, rye, diet, bran bread, muesli. It is recommended to add vegetable oil to food, preferably olive or flaxseed.
If you have gout, it is important to remember to drink plenty of fluids. Drinks allowed are weak tea with lemon or milk, green tea; chicory; fruit, vegetable, berry juices; compotes, kvass; fruit drinks; still mineral water.

A diet for gout on the legs, the menu of which is practically no different from table No. 6, should contain meat dishes no more than 2-3 times a week.
A complete transition to dietary nutrition, taking into account the patient’s taste preferences, does not give gout a chance to develop and helps prevent attacks during treatment.

We conducted an investigation, studied a bunch of materials, and most importantly, tested most of the remedies for joint pain. The verdict is:
All drugs gave only temporary results; as soon as the use was stopped, the pain immediately returned.
Remember! There is NOT ONE REMEDY that will help you heal your joints if you do not use complex treatment: diet, regimen, physical activity, etc.
Newfangled remedies for joints, which are replete with the entire Internet, also did not produce results. As it turned out, all this is a deception of marketers who earn huge money from the fact that you fall for their advertising.
The only drug that gave significant
the result is Artrodex
You may ask why everyone who suffers from joint pain doesn’t immediately get rid of it?
The answer is simple, Artrodex is not sold in pharmacies and is not advertised on the Internet. And if they advertise, then it’s a FAKE.
There is good news, we have contacted the manufacturers and will share with you a link to the official Artrodex website. By the way, manufacturers are not trying to profit from people with diseased joints; the promotional price is only 1 ruble .
