How to get rid of Gout?

I am 9 weeks pregnant and have gout on my big toe. It's very painful. What can I take?

  • The 3 gout medications I know about are pregnancy category C... I would ask your doctor about it. Up your water intake for now and make an appointment to see them.

    ^^^ what she said plus watch your diet. My dad has gout so I know there are a variety of trigger foods. Hope you get some relief soon!!

  • From a coworker with gout and personal experience with someone with it who I took care of. No red meat, no pork, no nuts. Fruits veggies and chicken OK. Also please make sure they check you often because gout can lead to kidney failure (I've seen it happen) take care of it now. watching my ex's dad who I took care of need to go in 3 times a week for dialysis broke my heart.
