Ahh good old gout... One of the most painful darn things that I have ever encountered in my whole entire life. Talk about agony. I was completely immobilised for the duration of the attack the first time and the second time I got it I simply wanted to cut my food off...

Thankfully I found some home remedies that actually work or for some people will just give some pain relief. The causes of gout [http://www.causes-of-gout.com] have to be well known, but the cures are somewhat unknown. In this article I am going to detail a few different ways that you can get rid of gout in the comfort of your own home.

1. Avoid High Purine Foods - causes of gout [http://www.causes-of-gout.com]
High purine foods are probably the biggest culprit when it come to having gout. If you want to get rid of gout then you must first fix your diet... Below is a list of foods to avoid to avoid gout.

1. Seafood
2. Red meat
3. Gravy
4. Kidneys
5. Gizzards
6. Fish Roe
7. Lentils
8. Mushrooms
9. Scallops
10. Shrimp
11. Beans
12. Yeast
13. Alcohol
14. Peas

2. Vitamin C and Gout

Vitamin C is considered a supper supplement when it comes to getting rid of gout [http://www.causes-of-gout.com/welcome.html]. In a 2009 study it was found that high doses of vitamin C actually lower the level of uric acid in the body and therefore help to get rid of gout. Take about 1,500mg of vitamin C daily for the best results.

3. Black Cherry Juice
Black cherry juice is packed full of healthy antioxidents that have been proven to reduce the level of uric acid in the body and therefore help to get rid of gout. Drinking 1 glass of this juice daily will help you a lot when it comes to getting rid of gout.

These are the main ways that you can fight gout at home. Obviously there are also some medications that doctors will prescribe to you to help with gout but home remedies worked fine fot me.
