Gout: You want to know what helps quickly? The answer is easy.
Follow those steps:
- Take an anti-inflammatory drug or colchicine to relieve pain
- Local application of ice
- Rest of the affected joint
- Drink 2 to 3 liters of water per day.
- Eat less food rich in animal proteins (especially red meat and offal)
- Eat more dairy products and vegetables
- A progressive and balanced weight loss
- Injection of corticosteroids or a joint puncture if necesary
Here are the best tips. But your lifestyle is also very important:
In order to get over a gout attack, it is essential to stay well hydrated. Indeed, drinking between 2 to 3 liters of water per day is strongly recommended. This water can be still or sparkling. It is important to know that water favors the elimination of uric acid in the blood. It also improves kidney function. Skimmed milk can also be a recommended drink in case of a gout attack. However, sodas, beer even without alcohol and spirits are strongly discouraged.
Also, go to bed! There’s nothing like rest until your pain subsides. Avoid the weight of blankets on the sore spot, and use an ice pack on your joints.
Excessive weight can increase the amount of uric acid in your body when you have gout. But that doesn’t mean you should go on a crash diet! Learn to eat intuitively, i.e. by relying on your food sensations.
Also, reduce your intake of foods rich in purines, and therefore in uric acid, such as offal, cold cuts, game, highly fermented cheeses, chocolate and wine. Reduce your consumption of meat, certain fish (anchovies, herring, sardines), shellfish, dried vegetables, eggs and dairy products.
Exercise is also an important part to a healthy lifestyle. But, defore you begin exercising, be sure to heat up and warm up thoroughly. it is important to stay hydrated while exercising. Ice can be used to reduce swelling after exercise. Ice treatment should be used with caution. Do not exercise the affected joint during a gout acute flareup. This can make the situation worse. You also must take care of your diet. Reduce your intake of protein, especially organ meats and processed meats. To flush out excess uric acid.
And last but not least, adopt our grandmothers’ remedies to treat your gout attacks! Many people use them and seem to claim that they are very effective in relieving a gout attack. For example, chamomile and elderberry decoction, lemon juice or bicarbonate drinks, nettle infusions, clay poultices, all these little tricks are worth looking into if you want to soothe your joints naturally.
What triggers a gout attack?
A number of different situations can trigger a gout attack: direct shock, surgery, abrupt cessation or initiation of certain treatments (low-dose aspirin, diuretics, certain antibiotics, allopurinol), all events leading to dehydration, low intake of beverages (water!!), certain alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic beer or overeating. See the advice to follow section.
What causes hyperuricaemia?
Uric acid is a product of the breakdown of purines, which are found in certain foods (cooked meats, beer, with or without alcohol, offal, etc.) in varying quantities. Hyperuricaemia may be due to : - excessive production of uric acid, following an excessive intake of purines in the diet or excessive production of uric acid by the body; - poor elimination of uric acid due to certain types of medication (diuretics, aspirin, etc.) or a kidney abnormality.
What can I do to prevent gout attacks?
The main advice is to adapt your lifestyle and follow certain dietary hygiene rules: avoid being overweight, keep sufficiently and regularly hydrated with water, take part in regular moderate physical exercise and, above all, avoid or limit foods rich in purines (offal, shellfish, game, beer with or without alcohol, etc.) or fructose (sweetened soft drinks such as colas and other fruit juices), which are sources of uric acid. See the advice section.
What can you do to treat gout?
An inflamed joint requires a quick visit to the doctor. In the meantime, the pain can be relieved with ice and possibly a painkiller such as ibuprofen.
If gout attacks are frequent, it may be worth paying attention to your lifestyle. Try to lose excess weight, increase your physical activity and cut down on certain foods. Certain products are rich in purines, which break down into uric acid. These include meat (especially offal and game), fish, shellfish, alcohol (especially beer) and sugary drinks. Similarly, it's best to eat low-fat dairy products. Eating foods that are less rich in purines can help to lower uric acid levels in the blood and reduce the frequency of gout attacks. Avoiding purine altogether is not possible, nor does it make much sense.
How is gout diagnosed?
The doctor will ask you questions and carry out a detailed clinical examination. He will want to know if this is the first time you have had an inflamed joint. He will also check whether the pain occurs in other places or whether you have any other problems and/or are taking any medication. He or she may also talk to you about your diet. It may be important to mention any recent infections or tick bites. The aim of the examination is to rule out any sores, to make sure that the joint is inflamed and to examine other joints as well. A general examination may also be advisable.
A blood test is often carried out to determine uric acid levels. Concentrations usually rise in gout, but values are often low during an acute attack. If there is any doubt about the diagnosis, the doctor will take a sample of joint fluid for microscopic analysis.

I had some labs to do and a nerve test, so I stopped taking this product for 1-2 weeks before tests. I definitely felt the difference. I also took a long road trip and my right leg/driving leg was hurting bad…took this Fyron G1+G2 every few hours and my leg was SOOOO much better in three days!

I have been taking this Fyron G1+G2 for several months for osteoarthritis (in the knees). It reduces pain and inflamation and gives enough relief that I don’t need to regularly use prescription pain relievers. It does not work instantly— you need to take it for a few weeks to start noticing the difference. I have not noticed any side effects either. Be constant taking it and you’ll notice the difference!

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. The only medication through a medical doctor that has helped me is high doses of steroids. Those high doses cannot be taken for long periods of time, so when off the steroids, I’m left with debilitating muscle and joint pain. I have tried so many things both holistically and medically with little or no results. After my sister read an article about the benefits of Turmeric and Boswellia, she urged me to try Fyron G1+G2. I set out doing research as I always do before trying something new. My health food stores did not have supplements that met the requirements of my list, so I turned to the internet. Thankfully, I found this Fyron G1+G2 product made by IncHealth. It met my rigorous list requirements, so I was thrilled. Now to the benefits of taking the supplement, to be honest, I started taking it with skepticism because nothing had even touched my pain up to this point except the steroids, but I ventured forward anyway because I’m determined that there’s got to be something out there to help me. On day five of taking this drops, I felt different. I didn’t hurt as bad as usual and I even had a little more energy. I thought it was too good to be true. I even doubted and thought it was working just because I wanted it to work. Psychology plays tricks on us sometimes giving the good response we so desperately want. I took my good day with a grateful heart and didn’t think too much about it. The next day, day six, I didn’t feel quite as good as day five, but still better than I was. My pain tends to roller coaster with good days and bad days. I vowed to keep going and finish the bottle. Now, I’m almost to day 30 and feel a lot better than before I started the supplement.

The reason I got this Fyron G1+G2 from them is because for almost 2 months I couldn’t even do a push up (and I work out almost everyday) but had no clue what the heck happened to my left arm’s elbow joint or why there was so much pain and restriction in the joint and the muscles around it. It’s only been a few days since I started consuming this, but WOW; My left elbow and the muscles around it is now already feel 80% better! It’s amazing. It’s like this great pressure had been released from my elbow joint. It seems to be exactly what my body needed to heal itself. Such a relief. I was so uncomfortable and would even wake up from the pain. Thank you so much! I’ll update this review in 28-30 days with my results from this Fyron G1+G2 😃
