    One of my friends had gout for years and then I suggested she tried cranberries and it went. Might be worth a try for you. Buy the dried or frozen ones with no added sugar.

    Newly Diagnosed

    I was put on insulin when I was rushed into hospital with something completely different, and I was able to come off it once I was out.
