I am not a doctor but I practice alternative medicine and these things work to lower uric acid...tart cherry pills or juice (which is pricey), the homeopathic colchicine (available at Vitamin Shoppe) and magnesium. My husband just went through this.
Thanks. I have been drinking Black Cherry juice, and eating tart Cherries.
I wasn't aware that you could get homeopathic colchicine (sic) at health food venue.
I think drinking protein shakes is probably what brought it on, and indeed did some research that pretty much says that the whole pitch that one need a protein charge after workout is bogus, and could exacerbate gout.
This is the worst case I have ever had, in both feet for about five days. It's nearly gone now, and hopefully want return for at least year or so, as is usual.
The homeopathic is colchicum autumnale. I don't know if it corrected it wrong but this is the correct name. Tart cherry tablets are pretty cheap and if you found the amount you needed every day and took it daily or several times a week, I believe you could kiss gout goodbye. You could keep the homeopathic on hand if you ever feel it coming on and stop it in it's tracks. Do you know about homeopathics? How to take? I had one episode many years ago and decided I never wanted to experience that again and haven't.
Colchicine is the name of the ingredient that is active in the homeopathic medicine colchicum autumnale (30c) There is also the drug colchicine that is used for gout. The homeopathic is under $10.00 for 80 pellets. When you use the homeopathic put one pellet under the tongue and let it melt. Drop it into the lid
and don't touch it. Don't eat or drink or brush teeth 15 minutes before or 15 minutes after...strong smells can antidote the remedy. You can use a pellet every 1/2 hour until pain subsides. Stop taking and only take it again if the symptoms come back. Usually it spaces out until you don't need it any more. It is easy when you get used to dealing with homeopathics. That's a good way to use colchicine without a prescription.

Oh I thought you were misspelling Colchicine which is also a gout treatment.
Do you know about homeopathics?
I now less than zero.
