I've posted before regarding my 92 y/o dad. My dad gets gout and suffers with it and it pains me to watch him deal with it. He started working when he was 13, was a lifer in the AF, worked when he got out, never stopped, even when he retired he always had a project. I go to his house early every morning, around 7 am. He said he could feel his gout coming on, as time progresses gout just gets worse. I have a stash of ivermectin at his house in case the need arises. I decided why not give him one, it can't hurt. Well hell, by the next morning the gout was gone. He said that has never happened...he was smiling. He has to deal with this every couple months so I'm going to stay on top of this and hope this is the answer.

Diet and colchicine.
No beef, no alcohol, no shellfish, no organ meats and nothing that contains high fructose corn syrup (almost all non-diet soft drinks). Some seafoods are OK, but not tuna. Some medications can trigger a gout flare.
Lots of chicken and veggies and some pork. The jury is still out on turkey.
Colchicine has been used for centuries and was pennies per dose until some big pharma did a clinical study and patented their preparation and dosage; now the cost has risen a hundredfold. It’s still effective though.
Sauce: I suffer from gout and this is how I control it in my life.
