GoutPal Interactive

Hello all,
Doug (a newbie to the site) here. I have beeen fighting a flare up for the last two weeks, pain has moved all around in my right foot and ankle and is FINALLY subsiding…

I visited the doctor last Tuesday and he was ready to put me on an Rx treatment. I told him about what I had been reading up online (mostly from GoutPal) and wanted to try some dietary changes first – much to my suprise,he agreed!

As the site suggests, a gout diet is as much about balance as what we eat. I also see alot of talk about pH balance. I have been drinking distilled water for 30+ years. After reading about the balance of foods and pH, I decided to check the pH of the distilled water and found it to be 6.4! What is the chance of all of the acidic foods + beer, topped off with acidic water are increasing my attacks?

If so, does anyone have any knowledge of how to best turn water alkaline? There is a ton of information on this on the web but it is very contradictory.

Thanks for the help, great site!

How many ways does water help your gout? One, it reduces uric acid concentration. Two, it helps flush toxins from the body. Is the crucial third way really so simple?
