Searching for natural tips on how to stop gout? Then you’ve landed at the right place because, here, you’ll discover 5 simple steps to stop gout pain in it’s tracks.

There are many ways to stop gout naturally, many of them contained in this website, but here I explain 5 of the best ways to stop gout… 

Step 1. Drink Lots of Water.

As a gout sufferer you need to drink at least 3 litres of water a day. But you mustn’t drink that amount in just two or three goes, but rather, you need to spread the glasses evenly throughout the day.

Water is vital in combating gout because it helps to prevent uric acid crystal formation in your joints, and, it helps your kidneys to flush excess uric acid from your body much more effectively.

Step 2. Get Down to Your Ideal Weight.

If you are overweight, then your body has much more tissue to breakdown during your body’s normal metabolism process.  This then produces much more uric acid than if you were at your healthy weight.

So, if you are overweight (appropriate to your body size), you need to lose some of that fat and get down to your ideal weight.  

Step 3. Take Regular Daily Exercise.

Taking regular, daily exercise will do several things: it will help you to lose weight, plus, it will also help you to strengthen your tendons and muscles around your joints, and, it will aid in the process of breaking down early crystal formation.

Step 4. Reduce or Avoid Alcohol Completely.

It is well known that alcohol is a top trigger for gout. There are studies that show that people who drink more than 2 units of alcohol regularly have higher uric acid levels than people who don’t. And when they reduce their consumption, their uric acid levels also reduce.

So if you can you must avoid alcohol, or, at the very least, reduce your consumption considerably.

Step 5. Change to a Low-Purine Diet.

As you know gout is caused by urate crystals in your joints that form when you have high uric acid levels in your body. And uric acid is a byproduct of the metabolizing process that involves chemical compounds called ‘purines’ in your body.

But purines also exist in our foods, so that a gout sufferer needs to reduce the amount of purines ingested through food. This means changing to a low-purine diet by substantially reducing and even avoiding foods that are high and very high in purines. You can get information on low and high purine foods here.

These 5 steps are very important, but they aren’t the end of the matter, as there are a number of other issues that you need to address in order to completely prevent your gout from reoccurring.

And the prevention of recurring gout is very important because of the permanent joint damage, and other things like kidney problems, that frequently recurring gout can cause.

How Do I Get Rid of Gout in My Foot Without Drugs?

“How do I get rid of gout in my foot without drugs?” I keep getting asked this all the time. It’s not surprising really since the vast majority of gout attacks happen in the big toe joint. And, of course, more and more gout sufferers are either, fed up of using drug-based medications because of their horrible side effects, or, because of their ongoing cost.

If you’re one of these, then you’ve come to the right place. Here, I’m going to give you the one tip that always got rid of gout in my foot when I used it, and without resorting to drug-based meds.

So what is this ‘magic’ natural remedy for gout? Well, it’s bicarbonate of soda, otherwise known as baking soda. Yes, that stuff you have had sitting in your cupboard or fridge for — it seems like – forever, can produce some stunning results. And it can work pretty quickly too, with many gout sufferers reporting that they can feel the beneficial effects within a couple of hours.

Remember, as a gout victim, you need to dissolve and flush out the uric acid crystals in your foot. Plus, you also need to excrete the excess uric acid in your bloodstream so as to lower your uric acid levels in your body.

Well, baking soda can do all that and more. It helps to dissolve the crystals and increases the solubility of uric acid to make it easier to excrete from your body. And because you take it mixed in water, it also increases your body fluid volume which helps your kidneys process and flush the excess uric acid out of your body. And, if that isn’t enough, it also boosts your urine pH which helps to reduce the risk of kidney stone formation.

Here’s how to take it…

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to about 8 ounces of water in a large glass and stir well until the soda powder has completely dissolved. Then take as follows…

• 1 glass before bedtime
• 1 glass on getting up in the morning before breakfast
• 1 glass every two to four hours between meals
• Repeat the schedule everyday until your symptoms disappear

Important Notes:-

1. Never take more than the equivalent of 4 teaspoons of baking soda in any 24 hour period, i.e. 8 glasses. 
2. Change to a salt-free or low sodium diet, whilst taking this remedy, since baking soda already has very high sodium levels.
3. If you suffer from hypertension, then discuss this remedy with your doctor before attempting it.

But, did you notice in the introduction how I said that this gout home remedy always got rid of gout in my foot? In other words, I was still getting gout attacks in my foot.

This remedy can certainly help relieve the symptoms of gout, but it can’t prevent it from happening again. And preventing frequently recurring gout is important because of the dangers of possible kidney problems and permanent joint damage further down the line.

It wasn’t until I became aware of the many issues surrounding gout, such as; diet, lifestyle, weight, medications, underlying medical conditions, etc., that I was finally able to prevent my recurring gout. And so far, so good!
