A friend with little internet skills has problems with gout. I read that cherry juice helped. While in stores, I found Knudsen's 100% cherry juice. The article I read said to take 1 T cherry juice two or three times each day. I have not heard if she bought it and used it, or if it helped.
ReplyDeleteOnly Knudsen's is 100% cherry juice.
Do you have a list of things to avoid other than meat? Okay, that is the only thing I really know that I have heard people should avoid.
I used to have a list, but Husband won't follow it. There are too many things he likes on it. One of his worst triggers is asparagus, and if I cook it, he'll eat half the pot. It's easier to buy a bunch of bananas and a cantaloupe with the asparagus than to slap his fingers when I cook asparagus. Of course, I could stop cooking asparagus, but that's not really fair to the rest of us.
DeleteI hadn't heard about cherries until researching with this current outbreak, but I think I'll make him some choke cherry juice next summer. Right now all I have is choke cherry jam, which I'll be adding to a fruit sauce for him this afternoon.
