No known cure for gout except watch your diet, exercise and drink lots of water

Just eat papaya. Your constipation will be ok
If you hasn't poo for long take the whole papaya not just 1 piece or 2 piece then drink lots of water and walk

Gout is mainly caused by lifestyle (eg. too much alcohol and meat) . Since your lifestyle is the root, the best cure is to change your lifestyle?

Drink Kefir. It's like liquid yogurt. Contains lots of good gut bacteria. I think there's a vendor in SG. Google it.

I take Allopurinol to treat my gout. So far so good in preventing any gout attacks. You can Google for it to know more about it. If you need it just let me know. :)

For your constipation, you can improve your system by taking probiotics. You can get that from your Yakult or Vitagen or yougurt or there are pills available at pharmacies. I have some Korean ones which is sugar free from soya based ingredients and it's good for diabetics.

Allopurinol good for preventing gout.. but doesnt seem friendly to body cause it stops 1 of the body biological processes from happening.. :(

Changing the lifestyle is still better.

There is literature out there about 2 remedies for gout. One is apple cider. The other is Black Cherries.

Personally, whenever I get gout attack, I turn to drinking Black cherry juice or taking black cherry extract pills. 2 times a day, and after about 2-3 times, drinking lots of water to wash out the stuff, my mild gout is gone. And I keep to a low meat diet during this time.

If you take colchine for your gout, it has a side effect of diarrhea. so It helps both ways.:D

Re: Gout and constipation
 

For prolonged constipation, change your diet and drink lots of water.
For occasional constipation, there are many off the shelf remedies in the pharmacy.

Drinking lots of water, 2.5-3 litres a day, will help with both gout and constipation

Thank you for advice!

Ermm, I think you should just consult a doctor rather than ask around here, drinking too much water is toxic.

There's an association between dehydration and ghout attacks so the advice is to drink more water. and not drink X amount of water a day. Also, this article mentions a possible remedy which is skimmed milk.

Even with this website, go consult your doctor.

Drink coconut juice to cure gout. I have gout and 3 times over limit. After drinking coconut juice I can eat anything I want. No attack since.

I have constipation too, and kept it at bay with the following:

1. caffeine (coffee, tea..)
2. prune juice

Re: Gout and constipation
 

Do try the following

1. The cranberry extract pill from nature farm keeps my gout at bay. Take 2 each time twice a day. Within 2 weeks u will feel ur feet ache disappears
2. Take psyllium husk to help with ur fibre intake and drink plenty of water.

You are likely to suffer from high blood pressure given the symptoms so do watch ur diet
