How to control Uric Acid?

Stop eating things with Beans, NO SOYA BEANS, PEANUTS. cutdown on protein intake, eat more on vege, exercise regularly.

Perhaps its been long I didnt exercise much as i do.
Thanks

Avoid those foods that are high in purine eg red meat, offal, seafood and some beans.

u got gout?

the main thing is if you consume lots of proteins you need to drink lots of water too

Drink lots of lemon water daily. Sour as hell but long term will reduce uric acid.

Not yet but border line of uric acid I think

Thanks everyone. Yah trying to drink alot water but seems not so effective. Perhaps diet gotta change liaw

Are uric acid dangerous?

I m having Uric Acid when I was 30+ which i dont aware.
Your Join will be swollen especially at big toe, ancle, etc until u cannot accelerate you car. So painful.

Search and read posts about GOUT. If doctor says uric acid is causing this in you, then try to control it. If you do not have serious gout, then think and balance all the rumours and advice carefully.

Note that some say drink acid (lemon, vinegar etc) others say opposite, neutralize (baking soda) or alkalize !!!

Most sensible I've seen says take gout treatment medicine like colchicine immediately, then FORGET all the diet treatments because it doesn't come back for 1-1/2 -3 years! That is my experience so far.

I do aware and urine smell different. I fell some pain under my leg sometime. Thats when it alarms me
Not really big toe anyway. I hope I wont go into your stage. Cant imagine how I am going to live with that.
Hope all of you get well soon.

Infact today I do start at least on alkaline diet for breakfast. Hope can make it further

after my health screening with the result, Doc advice me on tied for six months followed the list Doc give to me.
After the probation periods, Urine Acid and cholesterol level still high, then i m on medication for quite some times and everything maintain.
Then i m totally stop the urine acid medicine till now as this medicine not good for our body in long term
Now my Join everything ok must watch out the foods we eat.

Great to hear no need depend on medication. That's what I wanna avoid so far

good

Drink lots of water if you are not drinking enough. Eat more alkalising food such as drinking lemon water, first thing in the morning.

Usually which area r u cover?

tested.
this one was not help for me.

So sorry for u bro..supplement sometime not working for some people..maybe u can take few more months more maybe the duration u take those supplement is short

is ok. tx
now everything is fine with me

Great..

I am the head for project marketing
Subsale rental didn't really do much nowadays
Project then yes, m specialist

I used to be from pharma industry. Bear in mind, if it's a sickness already, supplement won't help. What u need is medication. Unless border line or starting then u need dietary and supplements may help

Yeap true prevention is best. Supplementation along with medication can go a long way, also good to monitor the food we take. Good choices can lead to a very healthy us

All these while i thought uric acid can be crystallized and causing joints pain.

Am i still misinformed?

Consuming large amount of bitter veges like peria or petai can cause uric acid?

for me
i cannot take petai but bitter veges no problems

Yeap it is the crystallized due to our body not able to flush out on time.

Not too sure about petai

So should we avoid eating bitter vegetables?

Haha consult DR. Any Dr here?

To reduce the uric acid levels in blood, you may need to limit intake of alcohol, sugary foods and reduce purine rich foods like meat, poultry, seafood and pulses. Vegetables such as cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, peas and mushroom also contain a lot of purines.

Edit* Copy pasted from google wikipedia only.. I have no actual knowledge thus you take the advice at your own risk

Alamak, have my Alkaline drink just now but eat peas pula. Didnt realize peas also in the group.

usually i m take those foods occasionally (moderately high in purines, but may not raise risk of gout):
example:
Fish and seafood (other than high purine seafood)

Hi, please allow me to do some shameless self promotion here. You can check out this inforgraphic on my website which indicates what kind of foods are good and bad for gout. All the information is based on scientific evidence

https://dosinghealth.com/2017/08/31/diet-and-gout/

Nice website u have there. Bravo

Thanks bro! Do check out our other contents as well. We write on a wide range of health topics and do follow us on FB https://www.facebook.com/dosinghealth/

Hi, do we have any support group?

Don't think so

ur qouted the above, i dont understand

Zyloric 500

We, gout sufferer can form a support group for motivation purpose and exchange of info. This is my idea.

i see

Cutting purines forever is harmless but probably not worth the trouble.
Most patients cannot maintain dietary restrictions indefinitely.

Many sources and medical references will explain that gout attacks most often go away by themselves after about 7 days and do not recur for 1-3 years. Medication (20sen colchicine tab from pharmacy) should be taken immediately to relieve the symptoms then after that nothing else makes any difference. Expensive long term daily medication is unnecessary.

Imagine someone starts medicine, then also any of the other folklore treatments such as vinegar, baking soda, fish oil, olive oil, colon cleansing, etc. Anything, including plain water, will seem miraculous for 1-3 years until the possibility of another attack, which will be best treated with another colchicine tablet.

The above has also been my personal experience with gout. Some of you may have an extreme form of gout with other complications but we can suppose that the medical references are referring to the majority.

i ve stopped my medication almost 5 years already and so far so good.
Of course maintain on the dietary on some foods.

What kind of medication you have stopped?

if i not mistaken was allopurinol (Zyloprim)

Saw this video Treat Gout Recipe
Not sure how helpful

What is your favorite food and drink that you always take?

my friend refer me to this seaweed drinks, http://kantendrinks.com/, apparently can help solve gout problem. i'm thinking since just seaweed, maybe worth a try. going to try this soon, will let you guys know the results

Foods You Must Avoid With Gout
When You Are On A Uric Acid Diet.

Read Post # 56

Ah... too long didnt drink my alkaline juice due to busy schedule for past month... my uric acid level went up again... gotta start again i guess

Saw another recipe from FB

https://www.facebook.com/GoodToTheBones/vid...65136760316334/

Hi guys, was randomly browsing and saw his thread. Though I might chime in a bit. I don't have gout, but my dad does. 3 years ago, his gout was quite bad that he took close to 3 jabs in a year - a span of 3 months each jab. So I started to find a supplement to ease his gout. I drop by a pharmacy and asked the sales auntie on what I can do.. and she recommended me to buy tart cherry juice (sour cherries). I was skeptical but I just grab one to test out. To my surprise my dad said it really did work and from then on I've been buying the juice for the past 2 years. His gout stopped flaring out with a maintenance dosage of 2 tablespoons a day.

Try lookaround for tart cherry juice. 100% pure cold pressed organic ones. It is getting harder to buy them now that the distributor Caremark stopped bringing in a brand we used to buy (Smart Juice Organic Tart Cherry Juice). Had to rely on Lakewood Tart Cherry (found in Aeon). I suspect many people in msia didn't know about the benefits of this juice such that the sales for smart juice was bad. I called the distributor and they said it didnt garnered enough sales to be maintained in their portfolio.

Tart? Acetic acid in any vinegar.

Be sure to consider Post #56, my true experience with gout.

wow. i didnt know that Tart cherry juice is help for gout.
my dad having gout attack almost every month, spending $$$ on juices too...
gonna let my dad try this... can saved my money

Alfalfa pills & celery seed pills seems effective for me. It has been a year since my last gout attack.

OMG, nobody paying attention to medical and patients' reports about food and drink having NO EFFECT on delaying gout attacks! Look back at previous post #56.

I think maybe better to indulge in mangosteen extract at Rm80 a bottle. I'll jump in on the party and suggest ROYAL STOUT to wash down Menglembu groundnuts. 7% alcohol will ease anybody's suffering and it must be the absolute truth miracle working it's magic because no gout for the last few years I also drink unboiled tap water. Maybe cures it too.

don't over do it.
some people are bad at detecting sarcasm and might actually gulp down the beer

Thanks for concern. That was my point. Did just that and no gout for years.

drink water a lot and reduce high purine food

some study said plant based purine food is okay

Just sharing my experience :-

I have been having uric acid -> gout when i was in my early 20s, that was also the time i face obesity with fatty liver. Now i am 34. Please bare in mind that uric acid can't be cure, it only can be control.

I have been experimenting and still experimenting until today with ways to control uric acid so i don't face gout. Let me cut it short below :-

To do :-
1) Drink lots of water
2) Exercise regularly, sweat more!
3) Avoid red meat
4) Avoid nuts
5) Avoid beans
6) Avoid alcohol
7) Avoid protein overdose (eg:- protein shake, egg whites, etc)
8) Avoid seafood (except fish)
9) Take supplements to improve your liver. (I am taking milk thistle)

However, as time goes by, you may build back your body resistance by taking mild of every food above and let your body adapt to it.

I am very happy that today I can take back everything above in moderate level.

Good luck guys, stay healthy

for me my gout was stable and control quite some time.

1) Drink lots of water : YES
2) Exercise regularly, YES sweat more! OCCASIONALLY
4) Avoid nuts, OCCASIONALLY
5) Avoid beans OCCASIONALLY
6) Avoid alcohol OCCASIONALLY
7) Avoid protein overdose (eg:- protein shake, egg whites, etc) OCCASIONALLY
8) Avoid seafood (except fish) OCCASIONALLY

What you mean can't be cure? It can be.

Are you in your right weight?

Gout can be cured, uric acid level cannot be cured; its only by control of the level.

I meant excess. Uric acid is what produced by body. It is part of body cycle just like other toxic your body generated. So, it is not a disease by itself. Gout is cause by excessive uric acid in body and so does a type kidney stone.

Lol bro, what are you trying to explain ? I never say anything relate to disease. Uric acid is the acid level in our blood, so by means its all by controlling our diet. How can it be cured ?

However, it is not called kidney stones, it is called crystals by your joints, which then causing the inflammation and intense pain.

Cheers.

drink a lot of plain water until your pee no color.

Good to hear that bro
Great
But wow early 20 already suffer. Oh my

How about no color but smelly? Haha

Except for the words "avoid, occasionally" I do all of the above 1-8 REGULARLY, almost daily, and no repeat gout for years. Hope you'll look at previous posts like #56. Just wishing you all a better life through simplicity.

for me so far manageable NOT experience pain anymore since long time ago.

Yup, my latest gout flare confirms this ... my uric acid level went up and my big toe got swollen. After I took colchicine prescribed by my doctor, the next day the pain was gone. As for diet, just try to maintain a balanced one... sometimes we go overboard and causing imbalance in our body

Under many google-search for ''gout'', you will get a list of things that u should avoid.
u must write down a few common ones that u woulda eaten, so that u know to take hem in moderation

precisely

indeed... control is the key...

Uric Acid normally refer what kind of department ? Want to go check at UKM

if u may search around for Rooibos tea. it helps to treat gout

GP.

For complicated cases rheumatologist.

Any supplements for suggest?

Actually another way also is make sure drink alot water to dispose and of course at the same time reduce intake
