[size=large][b]Water is Great for Almost Any Health Situation, and this is No Exception[/b][/size][hr]Drink as much as possible to feel as good as possible. Though many vegetables are good for the body, those with gout photo avoid things like asparagus, mushrooms, lentils, peas, and many dark green varieties of veggies during flare ups. Eat these in moderation at other times. Processed foods and foods that are heavy in oils or that have been deep-fried are also not a good idea for gout sufferers. We did not write too elaborate an article on Purine Rich Foods as it would be then difficult for the common man to read it. We have written this article in such a way that everyone will be able to read and understand it!

[size=large][b]Gout is a Problem that in Most of the Cases Occurs Suddenly[/b][/size][hr]That is why it is really hard to prevent it. Doctors can only advice for a low alcohol intake and a healthy diet. Only after its occurrence specialists are able to prescribe a treatment. Treatment for gout is prescribed in order to ease the symptoms that usually consist of extreme pain in the affected joints.

[size=large][b]We Know Two Types of Gout[/b][/size][hr]Acute gout is treated using different medicines such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchines and corticosteroids. The NSAIDs are drugs that help easing the pain and have an anti-inflammatory effect. As NSAIDs we have to mention indomethacin, ketoprofen, oxaprozin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, etodolac, naproxen and sulindac. This type of treatment has proved to be the best in preventing gout attacks and easing the symptoms. NSAIDs are recommended for as long as the patient has symptoms and are taken by mouth three or four times a day. NSAIDs assure the easing of symptoms by suppressing the production of fatty acids called prostaglandins that cause the inflammation and pain in gout sufferers.

[size=large][b]Colchine is the Alternative for Nsaids[/b][/size][hr]This medicine has been used to treat gout for years. It has benefic effects on reducing and even eliminating the pain caused by gout. Even so this treatment is not recommended for persons who can not tolerate side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or abdominal cramps. Colchine is a treatment with benefic effects because it reduces the deposit of uric acid crystals that cause inflammations. An intake of colchine within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of the gout symptoms is believed to have the awaited effect. Getting information on specific topics can be quite irritating for some. This is the reason this article was written with as much matter pertaining to Gout Attacks as possible. This is the way we aim to help others in learning about Gout Attacks.

[size=large][b]The Second Type of Gout is Chronic Gout[/b][/size][hr]In these cases treatment is prescribed in order to prevent acute gout attack from recurring. In many of the cases this means decreasing the uric acid levels. The recommended treatments are xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosuric agents. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors such as allopurinol lead to decrease of uric acid levels in the organism. Uricosuric agents are medicines that help kidneys to eliminate the excess of the uric acid produced by the body. As uricosuric agents we can mention probenecid or sulfinpyrazone.

[list][*]The third way of treating gout is the use of corticosteroids such as prednisone, prednisolone and triamcinolone.[*]This treatment is prescribed for patients that can not take NSAIDs or colchine, being the third alternative in treating gout.[*]This treatment has benefic effects after steroids are injected into the joint muscle.[*]Afterwards pain is locally relieved.[*]Now that we think about it, Gout Attacks are not actually that difficult a topic to write about.[*]Just looking at the word, ideas form in people's minds about the meaning and usage of Gout Attacks.[*]Foods that cause gout are rich in a chemical called purines.[*]These foods include organ meats such as liver, brain, kidneys and sweetbreads.[*]Other foods include anchovies, herring, dried peas and beans. [*]There is some recent research, which has shown that vitamin C in certain doses may decrease the uric acid level slightly.[*]However it may not be relevant in patients with gout and further details are needed.[*]Another interesting recent research revelation was that meat and seafood intake raised uric acid levels but dairy intake decreased it.[*]Again, what this means for patients who have gout or individuals trying to prevent gout is unclear.[*]Surprisingly, recent analyses have shown that moderate protein or even purine-rich vegetables was not associated with an increased risk of gout.[/list]

The purines get converted to uric acid but if they accumulate in excess they will cause gout. The uric acid crystals, which form will irritate the lining of joints such as the one in the big toe. This leads to inflammation and pain and swelling at the joint. Cutting back on the amount of foods that cause gout or avoiding them is a good idea if someone has gout, however, always remember to get an adequate and balanced diet. Alcohol affects the removal of uric acid from the body and too much alcohol can trigger gout. Low carbohydrate diets, which are rich in protein, can also trigger gout. People often forget to drink enough water especially in winter and this needs to be kept in mind if they are on a low carbohydrate diet. With the use of medications there is less of a need for a drastic dietary change but avoiding or limiting certain foods will help reduce the severity of attacks and may help people who have difficulty with medications that treat gout. There are universal applications on Uric Acid Level everywhere. However, it is up to us to decide the way used for these applications to get the best results from them.
