GoutPal Interactive

This section is where you can add your gout questions, or share your gouty views and experiences.

Gout Help Forum

Please read the gout forum guidelines before posting.

Please note that I have introduced this discussion area to replace the Gout Forum and it is not complete. You can use it, but some features are not enabled yet. Use the Gout Forum if you wish, or try the new features here. See the Gout Forum Replacement Progress Notes for more details.

I have organized these gout discussions in similar sections to the gout help pages on GoutPal.com. These are:

• Gout Highlights
• Gout Treatments
• Gout Diet Help
• Gout Symptoms
• Gout Related
• Understanding Uric Acid & Gout
• Non-gout topics

Do not worry if you have an urgent question, and do not know which section is most appropriate – just use the Please Help My Gout section.

Gout Question Archives

I have summarized old gout discussions in the gout archives. This is a great source of gout information. You will find it useful to look at these old questions, to see if they answer your questions.

Gout Forum Replacement Progress Notes

During December 2009, I am replacing the Gout Forum. The new forum will combine the forum and commenting features in this new Gout Help section. The features include:

Consistent input

Old system was confusing with some questions in the forum, and some in comments

Question Archives

To remove clutter, and provide a quick reference point for previously answered questions

Speed

Saving questions and answers is now quicker

Autosave

Lost contributions are a thing of the past

Better Tracking

Topics show as new until you read them. You can still, optionally, track additions to topics by email or on-screen highlights.

I will add a new discussion topic in the Non-Gout section soon, but please feel free to discuss changes in the old forum.
