I've had gout on and off for years affecting mostly the right foot and occasionally the knee where it causes bursitis (not my knee in photo but you get the idea)
Until recently I would limp around for days on end, then it would clear up and return, often in the middle of the night. Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid and beer is a common culprit :angry: Anyway I went on an economy drive coming up to Christmas and - with regrets - stopped having lunch at my favourite Indian Veg cafe in the Valley on my way into work twice a week. The gout and bursitis have cleared up and for the first time in months I can run around like a spring chook and no pain or inflammation anywhere.
common theme? The Indian Place serves 3 curry and rice, and most of the curries are loaded with legumes - chickpeas, lentils, beans, peas and delicious soya 'dumplings' in the Saturday menu that I never failed to miss. I first developed really bad gout 3 years ago when I was on a herbalife meal replacement programme which is based on soya products.

Might be helpful for any gout sufferers. Legumes, I've discovered, are high in Purines -> uric acid.
