   I can tell you what worked for me. My father and grandfather both had it pretty bad but I didnt know what it was. After my last physical I did some research aand found out ways to control or eliminate it. You need to avoid or eliminate certain foods or drinks. I dont think coffee will do anything one way or another. Totally eliminating beer and organ meat, (hot dogs, sausage, etc) from my diet has made a world of difference in the way I feel.

   i know cherry and pomegranate extract capsules will help gout.
   also, flaxseed oil.

   it helps my dad a lot. eliminating shellfish from his diet helped too…that really seemed to trigger attacks with him.

   oh my…caffeine makes it worse! an ex boyfriend of mine had that once and he had to quit the coffee until it was better. no way… caffeine is a stimulant that will irritate nerve endings more maybe… and increase acidic levels in the body.

   Gout (also called metabolic arthritis) is a disease created by a buildup of uric acid. In this condition, monosodium urate or uric acid crystals are deposited on the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues due to elevated concentrations of uric acid in the blood stream. This provokes an inflammatory reaction of these tissues.
