Mr. Cheeky had a bout wid da Gout and it aint a happy time. Keep away from the processed meats, sausages, organs, your basic "I know it aint good for me but it tastes sooo good" food. Drink lots of water, and the cherry juice worked for me too. Supposed to exercise too but who has time for that? I haven't had to give up booze (but I was never a heavy boozer anyway) and the occasional yummy sausage at the street fair (the key here is definitely 'occasional') hasn't brought the hurt back to my foot. But boyoboy! When it first struck it was the most excruciatingly painful thing I've ever experienced! Good luck Grog, there's hope out there. Just not in the sausage aisle.
