Gout is a disease common in men but much less so in women. However, menopausal women seem predisposed to gout according to some studies. First signs of the disease are usually big toe pain, but other joints can be affected.

Gout disease is treated via drugs and gout diet – depending on the individual. For some, diets seem to help a lot, others less so. So, it seems, it’s down to the individual work out what works best for them.

Your site looks professionally designed. The pain is worst in my legs, but often spreads to my thigh. It’s an emotional rollercoaster during gout attack, pain killers work, but not that well. Health-wise, I feel great, but genetic predisposition to gout disease seems to me to explain a lot in my family. I think it’s a learning process about gout, and gout diets – I read as much as possible. Thanks for putting together a great site! Mr E. R. Gray
