Each of the people, that I know, who took black cherry juice, saw significant relief in 24 hours. I don't think cherry juice would present a problem for most people but, as with anything, people have different constitutions, allergies, health considerations, etc. and each person needs to take those things into consideration. Best of luck to all.

Cherries, the darker the better, fresh, frozen and dried all work and work well for Gout. They are readily accessible all year around in one form or another. About 8 cherries a day will eliminate the uric acid crystals.
Put a pinch of baking soda in a pitcher of water to reduce your uric acid. Your kidneys only excrete small amounts of uric acid a day; if you have a bad case of Gout it can take time to heal completely... but it does work. I have shared this solution with 10 others suffering from Gout and it worked for them also. It does work for arthritis, but if you have had arthritis for years, you may also have joint damage that will remain.
You can also find Cherry concentrate (NOT Cherry juice) and there are now cherry tablets you can take. I love cherries, but took the tablets when I traveled, easy to carry.
It took a year and a half to totally rid myself of Gout, but it worked. I used to have what felt like it starting up again and after taking one helping of cherries the next day no more symptoms. I no longer have any recurrence and it has been 10 years.
At the worst I could not walk more than 10 feet and was under horrible pain and no medial solution beyond future surgery when the pain got too bad. Good grief it was already horrible.
This starts to work in a couple of weeks with you feeling less pain, in a month you know you are getting better, in a couple of months you are definitely on the mind and walking is possible. I had it really bad in both feet and it took a year and a half before I was walking long distances of a mile or more in total comfort and running. I did not modify my diet to eliminate any foods. I eat a balance healthy diet with no junk food.
Any acid outside you body is alkaline in your body. Lemon aid (minimal sugar (sugar is an acid) will lower your uric acid. Avoid most sugar, candy, soda and cakes or icing to speed the process of healing.
I have felt your pain and understand what you are going through. This is a real solution that has helped me and others who have reported back to me. The best of luck and get better soon... you will get better.

Worked for me…24 hrs later pain and inflammation down considerably. Three days later, just a little stiffness.
I figure many factors involved that brought on the gout:
Overweight with BMI at 30.5 - Need to lose weight, too sedentary lifestyle according to caloric intake…eat less/move more.
Dehydrated - need to drink more liquid throughout the day. Water with ACV
Too Acidic - Need to alkalize; eat more raw foods, fresh fruits and veggies, etc.

If I feel that 'twinge' later on in the day, I'll drink some more. So far I haven't had any more attacks.
When I first got this last fall, the first attack was excruciating. My foot and big toe swelled up, and I thought I broke it, and I couldn't walk. I had two smaller attacks, but nothing like the first.
I've also read that gout is hereditary. I don't recall my parents or grandparents saying anything about it, or perhaps it wasn't diagnosed. There also is no cure.
I've read some of the other posts, and good luck with your treatment of it.
