Ouch! Gout is a painful disease. In fact, some liken the pain of gout to childbirth. There are medications that can treat this condition, but diet plays an important role in healing gout as well. Plus, gout medications have side effects, and not everyone can tolerate them. That's why two physicians wrote this book - to show you what to eat and not eat to prevent gout attacks. We've found by treating numerous patients with gout that diet does make a difference. Eating to prevent gout will also help you look and feel better too.
