Default Gout
Hi LVT25,
Gout is caused by a build up of ureic (wrong spelling but sound it out) acid in joints which has crystallised. My H has it and was recommended to drink cranberry juice, 1 glass per day and my aunt swears by eating five cherries a day. She buys them in season and freezes them. It is awfully painful and can be caused by drinking or even having to much shellfish.
Hopes this helps.
Take Care
