Gout is a maddening little annoying disease that pops up seemingly out of nowhere on a day you don’t want to deal with it. And, it takes so much of your concentration to convince yourself that you can handle the devastating pain. All the while, you are shouting to the air….Make the pain stop!!
My family has first hand knowledge with gout. My husband Jack had terrible painful gout. He healed his away completely. I thought you may want to hear the information to help your situation or to share it with a friend in need.
First step: Jack started by eliminating out all carbs (meaning wheat, grains) out of his diet. That meant no eating, at any time, not even a nibble:) items like breads, cereals, pastas, cupcakes, pancakes, crackers, juice, alcohols, soda.
So what do you eat?
Second Step: My husband is busy and needed satisfying food. He ate meat only. He could tolerate dairy ( meaning he didn’t get a tummy ache or diarrhea from dairy) so just for variety to an all meat diet, my husband would add in dairy items. For variety he ate cheeses, vanilla yogurt, cottage cheese, butter, cream.
Meats and dairy are items he ate willingly. I had to make him eat vegetables, so I prepared them for him. I made steamed broccoli and cheese, riced cauliflower from frozen in a cream/ butter glaze, soups with lots of veggies. I usually just threw something together without much of a plan. That was the simplest and most creative way for me.
Cooked veggies are boring without salt so I do not hold back 🙂 I use Redmond and Celtic salts, usually at the same time. Look out for that Celtic salt, it can get too salty tasting fast. I add it little by little. Now I know how to handle it!!
He liked all this good food so……this is how we eat all the time now. He doesn’t get gout anymore. Although, around Christmas when he eats a lot of party foods all month long and he gets an achy foot, he stops eating so freely. He turns back to the diet of no carbs. And just in no time, the gout is all gone!

Side Note: No doctor is supposed to agree to this diet or promote it. It is basically a Keto Diet. I bet someone you know uses Keto Diet to heal and feel better. Doctors will say it doesn’t work or even try tell you that high protein/meat diets cause gout. Or doctors will say that Keto Diet does work but the doctor will not help you with it. I am not clear as to why. Anyways, my family is here to say it works.
Prayer: Praise God for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who rescues us out of pain, guilt, and gout. Lift up your hands to God Almighty, he will shine down on you and give you health and peace. Amen.
My favorite healthy grocery store continues to be Natural Grocers. They seem to love teaching out to the community and small groups about all topics of health. Today was no different when I saw many people in nursing fatigues milling about reading labels and discussing amongst themselves in the vitamin section. They were nursing students from Rasmussen College taking a tour and learning more about natural products and their benefits. Their instructor encouraged the students to test out natural products for themselves in order to share the benefits with their patients. How exciting to see natural health products receive importance in the medical world!
20 years ago my husband Jack came home with a book called Protein Power. It outlined a diet that was high protein and very low carb. He planned to just lose weight with its information because up to that point all we could expect from a diet was to lose weight! As we read the book and followed the protocol, miracle changes in our overall health began to happen quickly. It forever changed our mindset of self-healing through food. 
Four and a half years ago my husband and I adopted two little boys. They were 23 months and 3 years old when they moved in with us permanently. Our youngest child, Caleb, received a head injury when he was only four months old. You may not be familiar with traumatic brain injuries but they are devastating not just to the injured but to everyone around them.
