I usually can tell when gout is going to come on because I start experiencing some stiffness and minor pain in one of the joints around my toes, foot or ankle and sometimes some stiffness in my finger joints. When I notice this starting to happen I start drinking at least 8 oz of pure black cherry juice every morning and to attach the gout more aggressively, I will drink 8 oz of the black cherry juice multiple times in a day. There are times where I may go through multiple 32oz jars of the black cherry juice before it goes away. On those times where the black cherry juice only puts a dent in the pain, I start taking "Malic Acid" supplements. In my search for natural things I could use for gout, I was drinking apple cider vinegar tea I would make. Upon more research I learned that ACV has malic acid in it, so I tried the supplements and it worked. I normally will take just one malic acid pill at a time, but if I have a bad bout of gout I will take 2 pills in the morning and 2 right before I go to bed. As my last product I will take if I have a particularly bad case of gout, I will take prednisone to help take the inflammation and pain away. For me it works better than anti-inflammatories. This seems to help the black cherry juice along with the malic acid to be able to work faster. One other thing is that I found that alcohol can be a trigger for gout for me.
Recently I decided to go ahead and have an 8oz glass of black cherry juice every morning, just to be proactive at reducing the uric acid buildup in my body.
Hope this information might help others who suffer with gout.
