Gout: eat a lot of dried cherries. They contain anthoycyanins which are good for inflammatory related conditions. Along the same lines, turmeric is very beneficial for gout. You can buy turmeric extract in capsules which is a very concentrated form and works wonders. 

Get well mooch, Gout is very painful and very bad. I also read that Greek Yogurt helps a great deal with Gout

I thoroughly recommend taking Voltarol.

This used to be prescription only in the UK, but you can get it over the counter now - and - there is an "extra strength" version which clears up my attacks in less than 12 hours

This might seem like a long time to non-gout sufferers, but it's quite short compared to how long a really bad attack can last.
