Op, correct me if I am wrong, but they look like the super awesome ones from Amazon - I keep them on hand as they are super useful. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1Y5O6/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It beats the shit out of crutches but it's not perfect. Part of this could be because I got a well made, but cheaper model. The wheels are pretty narrow so you have to be careful with bumps, and the turning radius is lacking. The knee pad is pretty cozy though. I can't bitch too much because like I said it beats crutches and this is the model advertised for $120ish dollars at Walmart.com and Amazon but I found a gently used one on letgo for $70 and the fella even brought it to me. It definitely makes trips to the kitchen and bathroom faster and more bearable.

If you use Amazon Prime and don't mind paying full price they can have it on your doorstep tomorrow.

You are most welcome...I'm confident that it will help you. :)

You will most likely find ACV at a grocery store (as opposed to a drug store). Try new seasons, whole foods, Fred Meyer/Kroger...not sure what stores you have where you live, but it will be in the health food or "natural" section. This is what the bottle looks like: https://www.amazon.com/Bragg-Apple-Cider-Vinegar-BTLS/dp/B01CSX4N9K/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506402653&sr=8-4&keywords=braggs%2Bapple%2Bcider%2Bvinegar&th=1

I added the baking soda because it is purported to have helpful effects for gout as well, and someone here suggested it to me back when I was looking for help, to help to cut down the acidity of the ACV, but you can definitely drink it without it. The first time I tried ACV for an attack I drank 4oz straight...never again. After comparing notes with others here, it was probably more than I needed. I had a second mild attack six months after that, and I drank 2oz (with the recipe I gave earlier) and that did the trick. If it's a bad attack go for more, but after you've tasted it trust me, you will drink as little as possible. :) You can drink it straight, cut it with just water, etc...my recipe was just a suggestion, but it's what works for me after consulting with other users here. Post attack, keep yourself hydrated, take potassium and calcium/magnesium supplements, and try the ACV and cherry extract tablets if you can. My Doctor was willing to prescribe me allo, but I wanted to try something natural first, which she encouraged, and this works for me. It doesn't work for everyone, but I was amazed at the difference it made, and now I swear by it. This works for some, allo works for others...we're all different. But this stuff saved me. :)

Keep me posted on how it goes, here or with a PM. Don't forget the cherry juice, I used to drink just that for attacks and it helps, but ACV was definitely the secret weapon for me.

u/seekhappiness · 2 pointsr/gout

Sounds like you have a pretty good idea what needs to be done. Water should be the only liquid going into your body other than soup or other medicines. Too much sugar in juiced. Take the indomethecin with pure organic cherry juice. This is the one I find that helps the most. Good luck. I hope you find a solution that works for you.

u/gregriegler · 2 pointsr/gout

Tart Cherry Extract pills worked better for me, easier to control. I like the tart cherry juice ok - especially mixed with things. But easy to over do, and a lot of sugar.

One thing that's helped me a lot are these pills:
https://www.amazon.com/Uric-Acid-Support-Supports-Quercetin/dp/B00T40H4RO/

But if I am out to get a cold drink at a convince store, I will always try to find something that has some kind of cherry juice (actual cherry juice) and without HFCS - sometimes I'm successful.. I also will tend to lean towards cherry desserts and other cherry flavored things when there are times to choose it. Whether it helps or not.

u/Damian856 · 2 pointsr/gout

The attacks could be due to you losing weight so fast, losing weight is a popular gout trigger. Diet is key as well for long term. You're doing it right by cutting alcohol, red meat and corn syrup foods but try and eat more vegetarian, plant based diet. Also dietary supplements for gout can help you supplement your gout diet to get more of the foods that your body needs to keep uric acid in check. This supplement is one of the more popular ones for gout: https://www.amazon.com/Uric-Acid-Lowering-Formula-GoutandYou/dp/B01GU8GGQ2/ref=sr_1_17_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487215448&sr=8-17&keywords=gout

Take a good look at the ingredients and Google each one to see how they help your uric acid.

> It's hard not being able to go out to eat with co-workers etc.

See, I think where you're at is rock bottom, which on some level is good. I was there a month or so ago, you can find that post here. And while I won't argue that a vegetarian diet is ideal for gout, I personally feel you can live a normal, gout-free life without going vegetarian if you work out and make smarter meal choices.

You CAN go out to eat with your coworkers because there are better choices available:

  • Start looking at the salad menu.
  • Start looking at the healthy options, most restaurants list them.
  • Skip the appetizers.
  • Order vegetables as your side instead of fries.

    Sure it sucks, but I think you're with me when I say that the pain you experience from a flare up is much worse than settling on a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a burger.

    And I hate to say it, you'll probably experience a couple flare ups along the way because it's a learning experience. Pho is growing in popularity around here, and like you, I'm finding out that it's not something I can personally eat (likely because of beef bone broth), so oh well, I'll order something else or learn to make a gout friendly pho at home. I'll live.

    Keep plugging away. Gout is your body telling you that you need to make changes and get healthy; even if you do end up on a daily medication, don't lose site of the health issues.

    EDIT // Frozen cherries can be a little pricey, so I've been taking a cherry/celery seed extract that I found on Amazon that I've added to my standard routine.
u/okstupid33 · 2 pointsr/gout

I'm also 32. My first gout flare up was when I was 25. I don't know what you've tried but Quercetin is the only non-med which has worked for me. It apparently can inhibit uric acid production in the body. I haven't had a flare up in a year. I drink beer and eat meat regularly. I know it sounds too good to be true. But I'm sure you're open to trying anything. I take 2 capsules with every meal.

Here's a good brand:

u/MadLintElf · 1 pointr/gout

Just found this sub and I have size 13 extra wide feet, so far the most comfortable and affordable shoes I've found are Olympus 1.5's, they aren't the prettiest shoes but they make walking during a flare up so much easier.

Good luck!

u/Bobbagonuggetesh · 2 pointsr/gout

Until July?! That seems weird. That's a test that takes hours at the most.
Honestly I'd check out amazon and either order the extract juice or just the pills. Also, Vitamin-C is shown to be really good for gout sufferers (like 1500+ mg a day). At this point you really want to do everything you can to increase kidney function to flush as much UA out everyday.

Tart Cherry Extract 1000 mg 120 Capsules - Manufactured in a USA Based GMP Certified and FDA Inspected Facility and Third Party Tested for Purity. Guaranteed!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RG7C1I/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_FORjxbQX675DX

u/anonparrot · 3 pointsr/gout

Sorry to hear about how bad it has gotten. The others have summed up Allopurinol.

I don't know anything about drug testing ... but if they know what you are taking and how that could affect the outcome I would think that could mitigate any issues. At least that would be my hope.

For information from books ... I liked reading Beating Gout: http://www.amazon.com/Beating-Gout-Sufferers-Guide-Living/dp/0981662463/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394566780&sr=8-1&keywords=gout+book

Honestly I think it's hard to find a good Doctor in the States who really understand gout...

u/runner382 · 1 pointr/gout

Thanks for the info. I am curious if anyone has tried the kidney supplements available in health food stores or online.

Stuff like this: https://www.amazon.com/Uric-Acid-Support-Supports-Quercetin/dp/B00T40H4RO/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1550166138&sr=8-3&keywords=kidney%2Bgout%2Bsupport&th=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DPMFL5Z/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

this one is pretty reliable. Results are consistent with how my joints feel as well. (I even tried it on my wife and she has a healthy 5.7 reading all the time).

u/jonfl1 · 1 pointr/gout

FWIW, after reading your post here, I did some further research and came across this product: http://www.amazon.com/Formula-Cherry-Extract-Celery-Turmeric/dp/B0088JPQOU/ Has the celery seed and bromelain you mentioned, but also the tart/black cherry, which I'm currently taking by itself now.

Haven't tried it yet, but just bought it to give it a go and see if it helps at all. Will definitely report back on this sub.

u/cestes1 · 2 pointsr/gout

Drink lots of water. When I feel it coming on I start taking these:

https://www.amazon.com/Mt-Angel-Vitamins-Vegetarian-Capsules/dp/B009LXM8BG

I take 6/day... 2 with each meal. Maybe it's placebo or just the water, but feel like it helps!

u/tesseract4 · 1 pointr/gout

I've been taking two a day of these for about two years now, and haven't had more than a twinge in my foot since. I used to get 1-2 flares per year that would prevent me from standing. YMMV, but I've gotten fantastic results.

u/Gizmoed · 4 pointsr/gout

This is the wiki... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_citrate
this is the one sentence about gout. Potassium citrate is an effective way to treat/manage gout[4] and arrhythmia,[medical citation needed] if the patient is hypokalemic.

I take 99mg a few times a week. https://www.amazon.com/Nutricost-Potassium-Citrate-99mg-Capsules/dp/B01JN8WWQ4/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=potassium+citrate&qid=1570246107&sr=8-4 It was the silver bullet for me but I was trying many things and maybe it was the combination of them. Celery seed extract, cranberry, glycine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014K8WOII/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Still Potassium Citrate seems like a cure for me.

u/_ToxicBanana · 1 pointr/gout

Add low/no Fructose to your list, Fructose is processed in the liver and the waste-product is Uric Acid.I know this is not what your asking, but as an easier on the system option, I take Ibuprofen and these two over the counter options.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CFPQ674/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LXM8BG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This will limit my flare-ups to 3 days.

u/BIGDATA_Construct · 2 pointsr/gout

Well at the least its not bad news regarding Whisky. Isnt Tart Cherry juice not from concentrate what you are supposed to drink? Also these seem to work fairly well. Uric Acid Support or there are similiar out there I bet beside the one I linked.

u/hungabunga · 3 pointsr/gout

Maybe it's just a placebo, but tart cherry powder seems to help.

u/periodicallyprimitiv · 2 pointsr/gout

Yup- I have not been proactive about seeing the doctor, and am being stubborn about going on life long meds to manage the problem. I’m hoping I can find and address the root cause (besides genetics, of course).

I pick up the 640z Cherry Bay extract from Amazon. Link —> here.

I pour about 2-2.5 ounces in a pint glass and mix with water. I’ve seen as little as one tablespoon used in studies, so my 2oz might be overkill. It’s tasty stuff, albeit more liquid calories than I like to consume. Oh well, I’ve given up beer so I can live on the edge and drink some cherries I guess.

I’ve also started juicing kale, celery, and parsley because there is some anecdotal evidence that they can lower uric acid (and reduce cholesterol). I throw is some cucumbers, ginger, lemon, and sometimes turmeric. We will see if any of this helps, but it feels healthy drinking down a deep green brew.

Just a spring loaded little finger-pricker. Heads up though, there are plenty of tips you need to learn to use it (super clean hands, wipe away the first drop-test the 2nd). Otherwise results vary widely, they say.

u/BustedBottle · 1 pointr/gout

The only sugars you should ingest are those in dark fruits like cherries and blueberries. Start taking two tart cherry pill extract pills daily and keep on it. Like others have said, cut back on meats and drink lots of water.

u/1000Clowns · 1 pointr/gout

I used a Kernel meter.

Buying today, I'd probably go with one from UA Sure.
