Apparently, he has been neglecting his diet and eating sardines again, or too many burgers and now is suffering from Gout again. it isn't as bad as the first time he had it, but it is painful. They said he was hobbling around the grocery store. I hope buying fruits and vegetables! He is back on the tart cherry juice and pills.Have you ever had gout or know somebody who suffers?

I know someone with gout, but know nothing about it really.

There are certain foods that bring on attacks, and of course he likes all of them..

@paigea Yes when Ihe was talking bout it before he had. Pretty cavilier attitude. Maybe this second attack will make him more conscientious

@snowy22315 it would be tough, but necessary, to restrict favourite foods.

I knew someone who suffered of gout and he told me that it's painful. I never suffered of gout.

It's more common in men I think.. Also, there may be a heriditary component. I just heard yesterday, that his dad had it.

@snowy22315 - I did not know it could be hereditary, but most health problems are.

@LadyDuck I think it must be or at least can be.

I think it strikes men more than women. Benjamin Franklin had it.

My father had gout and I know that it’s certainly not a picnic.

No, his first attack was horrible and it killed him to walk. This one hasn't been quite as intense.

I've known a few people who have suffered from gout. They all say how painful it is. I hope your BIL recovers quickly.

Oh! It seems I need to double check myself in eating sardines.

Probably oily fish although mostly healthy can cause issues like this apparently.

I'm not stranger to pain in general, but that's something I haven't suffered from.

I am pretty sure it is more common in men.

Yes, any kind of oily fish that causes high uric acid.
