Gout free for 12 months :-) No one takes any notice here

Foot care

Are you saying you think that celery seed contributed to the attack?

22

No I don't think it had anything to do with the attack, just coincidence

my middle finger was swollen nearly three times it's normal size.

The pain was excruciating, I had to make an emergencey doctors

appointment and was given ARCOXIA 120 this relieved the pain considerably. These tablets are absolutely brilliant!

23

Ah, good to know. I did read that people who've got kidney issues (as I do) should not take celery seed.

I'm out of my head with this attack. It's been a month. While it's a little better, I still can't put a shoe on one foot and it's a constant source of pain.

 

24

Thanks I will certainly try that out... First time I heard about this... Your right about the black cherry juice it's not enough. I appreciate the suggestion because I do love my steak.

25

I have only had 1 initial flare-up. It has been 11 months since then. I did 

a lot of reasearch in the beginning and yes CELERY SEED was noted as making a difference. Another major "potion" seemed to be BLACK CHERRY

JUICE EXTRACT. You also use cherry. Good for you, that the two are

helping you to combat your condition. However I am not convinced that

celery seed alone, in every and any case will totally conquer gout.

  A few other items to give a person the maximum arsenal include:

 ROSEMARY, TURMERIC, BAKING SODA, MAGNESIUM supplement, ONIONS and lots

of other vegetables, except for possibly spinach, cauliflower, peas, and

mushrooms.

Also we should take in 3 LITRES Of FLUIDS  per day

with 1.5 litres being WATER. 

  Especially for those with more severe cases, it is best to rely on a good

combination of anti-gout items rather than just 1 or 2.

 Avoid meat, seafood, and alcohol or you are playing with fire. For many

diet alone is not enough. Consult with your Doctor about being put on 

another "curative" - ALLOPURINOL. I also take Allopurinol. I say approach

Gout from all angles and do not search endlessly for one "Magic Bullet".

P.S. Also, CELERY SEED can often be found in the baking goods section

of larger supermarkets at a much cheaper price than in capsule or pill 

form on-line. A very effective way to use the raw celery seed is to make a 

tea out of it. Steep for a full ten minutes and enjoy it for what it can do, not

for the taste.

27

1 teaspoon of CELERY SEED per cup is enough. It should not be used if you

are on blood-pressure medications as in combination they can cause 

your blood pressure to drop to a dangerously low level.

28

I shall give it a go.

These celery tablets will work I am sure for some. In my case I am on warfarin and celery with effect my INR, so i cant take them

30

Good information. I'm on BP meds...

31

Glad that works for you.

I use Quercetin/Bromelian and it is very effective in preventing Gout attacks. High potentency Bromelain, 3000 GDU/500 Mg is excellent for pain and disolving any Uric acid crystals in your joints - I find its more effective than colchicine.  Quercetin/Bromelain has a lot of other positive health benefits as well.

32

Tart cherry juice is what you'll want to get

33

I also believe sugar is my main culprit for an attack also any kinds of meat or fish..Lord I miss eating red meat

Thanks for the info... I will be sure to check this out... Appreciate the feedback. Thanks Doug.
