I don't know about a remedy but you need to be careful about what you eat. Foods that are high in purines are bad for gout.

Examples of high-purine sources include: sweetbreads, anchovies, sardines, liver, beef kidneys, brains, meat extracts (e.g., Marmite, Vegemite, Bovril), herring, mackerel, scallops, game meats, beer (from the yeast) and gravy.

Purines are found in high concentration in meat and meat products, especially internal organs such as liver and kidney.

In general, plant-based diets are low in purines, drink plenty of water don't get dehydrated - that's why alcohol is not good it dehydrates you.

Answer 2

Gout is a type of Arthritis that can have painful and difficult side effects for a person. An area with gout with at once feel swollen, tender and painful and can be so overwhelming that a sufferer can't focus on anything else. There are some medications prescribed by your doctor that can seek to reduce or eliminate these painful symptoms, but there are also many home and lifestyle remedies that, when implemented daily, can cut down on your risk of suffering from gout. Some may also eliminate gout pain when it does occur. Follow these tips in order to reduce your symptoms of gout.

Drink Lots of Water

While consuming plenty of water is an important way to increase health for everyone, those suffering from gout need to be sure to consume even more water than normal. The problem lies in the uric acid imbalance in the body. In order to reduce the uric acid in the body, large amounts of water are needed. This can essentially flush out the kidneys and help to restore balance in the body. It is recommended that those with gout drink a minimum of 4 liters of liquid every day, with as much of that as water as possible. When symptoms flare up, consider drinking even more throughout the day to restore balance and reduce the amount of uric acid in the body.

Reduce Meat Consumption

Although protein is a vital macro-nutrient that no one should eliminate, many gout patients find that their symptoms are greatly reduced when they eliminate meat from their diets. However, it is important to still consume plenty of protein from alternate sources. Some possible sources of protein that have a positive rather than negative effect on gout include eggs, fat-free dairy, tofu and nuts or nut butters.

Avoid Alcohol

It is easy to see that since water helps restore balance in the body, the dehydrating effects of alcohol can make gout worse. Those with gout may find that they need to severely reduce or even eliminate alcohol consumption in order to reduce side effects and painful symptoms.
