My husband was also dx'd with it, but the pain was enough that he stuck to the approved foods. Now, his sugar is high, so another adjustment is needed. He grumps a lot, but does as he's told.

It is kind of disappointing news for some when our ailments require our efforts to improve and that a magic pill is not the answer. However, we eventually learn those very magic pills have their own problems. I personally hate meds and always look for some adjustment in lifestyle I can do to make it all better. <br />Hope he accepts the gout diet with no problems."Lots of vegetables Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-38191105826357695652013-03-29T14:58:30.868-04:002013-03-29T14:58:30.868-04:00I like your beach, even if it is windy.

We call them the 'magic pills' because they work like magic to stop a flare up. Good luck dealing with this problem.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
