Is there a way to lower my uric acid level besides a uric acid level?

Answer 1

Plenty of fluids - no alcohol, good diet, no shellfish. Yes, Hydrocodone will ease the pain but the cause of the pain remains which is the build up of uric acid crystals - yes crystals - in the joints which is why it is so painful. The Japanese eat a lot of seafood but it is particularly consumption of shellfish mainly which seems to act as a trigger for attacks of gout. Allopurinol is good for suppressing gout in the long term but it should not be used for acute attacks as it causes an initial increase in uric acid production before it stabilises it. Coca cola should make no difference to it as although it is acidic due to carbonic acid it would be neutralised during absorption into the body. Although your body would take on an acid load , it compensates by regulating your body pH by causing you to respire more frequently so getting rid of more CO2 and H2O which are the constituents of carbonic acid - HCO3- and H+

Answer 2

Before showing you how to lower uric acid levels naturally, it's important to understand what uric acid is, where it comes from, why high levels can lead to gout, and so why you need to reduce high uric acid levels in the blood... Uric acid is a byproduct of the chemical breakdown of compounds called 'purines' that exist in our body's cells and in our food.

Answer 3

Drink plenty of water. Avoid food with high concentrations of protein like red meat, chicken, full cream milk, egg yolk, vegetables like spinach and all kinds of beans and nuts.
